Nvidia's RTX 5000 series won't launch until CES 2025, predicts leaker kopite7kimi, with new cards featuring GB202/GB203 GPUs and 28Gbps GDDR7 memory.

: Leaker kopite7kimi claims Nvidia will not unveil its RTX 5000 series graphics cards until CES 2025, from January 7-10. The RTX 5080 is said to outperform the RTX 4090 and will use the GB202 and GB203 GPUs with 28Gbps GDDR7 memory. Nvidia is currently focused on its profitable AI hardware.

Leaker kopite7kimi has predicted that Nvidia will delay the reveal of its RTX 5000 series graphics cards until CES 2025, scheduled for January 7-10. This counters earlier rumors suggesting a late-2024 launch with the release of RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 ahead of mid-range options.

Kopite7kimi, known for reliable leaks, adds that the RTX 5080 will surpass the RTX 4090 in performance. The new series will be built on the GB202 and GB203 GPUs, featuring 28Gbps GDDR7 memory with a 512-bit interface and will be physically smaller than previous models.

Nvidia, having climbed to third place among the world's most valuable companies due to its AI hardware success, isn't rushing the RTX 5000 series launch. Past accurate predictions by kopite7kimi add credibility to the claim that the unveiling will occur at CES 2025 instead of later this year.
