I wonder what Nvidia is doing with the occasional lucky chip with all working SM.
I wouldn't be so optimistic. Nvidia supplies 85% of the discrete graphics card market. If they cut production 30% and AMD increases production 30%, we're still short on supply by more than 20% of what it used to be. And if demand hasn't dropped, what happens to prices?I can't wait when AIBs turn their attention to AMD and Intel cards because there's no longer enough supply from Nvidia. I see good days ahead.
Intel and AMD will increase their wafer orders because someone's gotta keep the hungry gamers fed, right? Intel and AMD cards not that in demand for AI because CUDA so what else can they do but order more wafers for consumer cards and try to cause a dent in Nvidia's marketshare?Nvidia supplies 85% of the discrete graphics card market.

AMD would rather sell Zen or MI. Intel would rather sell nothing than lose money. No one has to do crap for gamers.Intel and AMD will increase their wafer orders because someone's gotta keep the hungry gamers fed, right?

But there's a saturation point for both of those. The Zen owners will want a GPU to go with their CPU and not everyone wants an MI even if it is priced better or faster. Nvidia got lucky with AI thanks to their headstart with CUDA development. Those familiar with CUDA and seriously in the midst of their AI research have no time to qualify MI for their workloads. Otherwise, Deepseek would've been done on MI.AMD would rather sell Zen or MI.
$10000 for a prosumer GPU or $20000 for a AI/DC GPU versus $2000 for similar gaming GPU. Yeah, I know where I'd allocate my wafers.But there's a saturation point for both of those.

And who knows if that is more or less than AMD's 5nm allocation? There is little reason to be happy if Nvidia is cutting production of consumer Blackwell even if you're not interested in it.But there's a saturation point for both of those
Great for new HTPC builds, but it is going to have bandwidth issues in older HTPCs, and popular/meme, office and workstation to gaming PC conversions.This is such a cutesy card! https://videocardz.com/newz/msi-introduces-rtx-5060-inspire-itx-ultra-compact-14-5-cm-single-fan-gpu
I hope someone releases something like this on the AMD side with at least 12GB VRAM.
I'd rather have GDDR6 if it knocks $20+ off the price of a card. A 2560 core 5050 is unlikely to benefit much from the 448Gbps the 5060 has, just toss a half decent grade of GDDR6 on it.
Possibly a July Launch for the 5050. It's the full GB207 so 20 SMs (less than 4060 desktop).
For some reason they are considering using GDDR7 instead of GDDR6 but would be mostly a waste.
Hopefully they will have the good sense to keep it OEM only.
Just a cool $10000 for your RTX 6000 Pro Blackwell GPU with the full fat GB202 die.
Highlights:
He calls it 12V High Failure power connector
TERRIBLE coil whine when under load
Puts RTX 5090 owners in their place - tells them they got the "garbage" (i.e. reject dies) with their $2000 mid-range GPU.
Efficiency at 75% power limit is quite impressive. Better than 5090 stock performance while using 100-150W less.
Lucky kidthe 4090 I gave to my nephew
Must really be afraid of the competition getting hotter from the other industry players in AI.i listened some podcast or other (it might have been techtechpotato w chipsncheese) and the conjecture/rumor was that jensen told his ai/compute head that they had whatever companywide resources available to get the next gen out the door asap.
