Talk about the future GeForce RTX 50 It may seem a little rushed, since in reality we are still waiting for the entry-level models of the current generation, the RTX 4060 (which will debut this month) and the RTX 4050. With them, perhaps, in the absence of some kind of revision Once they are improved, we can consider the family complete , which, recall, was originally introduced almost nine months ago, in September 2022.

However, the link was shown by Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, at the Computex 2023 launch event, sparked rumors and speculation about it. It was specifically a link to the as yet unpublished Hopper Next architecture. For some context, let’s recall that Hopper is currently the enterprise architecture for data centers and other advanced computing platforms.

However, if we go back in time, you will remember that when Ampere already wanted to be the architecture of the (then future) RTX 30, architecture called for success, it was expected to be Hopper. However, some time later we learned that it would be Ada Lovelace who would be replacing Ampere as Hopper would be behind schedule. So there are many people who think that Hopper will be the architecture of choice for the future GeForce RTX 50.

In general, speeches by CEOs when they get on stage they have between nothing and absolutely no improvisation about the data they share. In other words, if Huang mentioned Hopper Next, which, as we can understand, is nothing more than an evolution of the current Hopper aimed at large systems, it is because this iteration of said technology will play a very important role for NVIDIA in the medium term. .

So several analysts and industry experts have decided to join the dotted lines and the conclusion they have reached, and although we will have to wait for confirmation, it seems likely that Next Hopper is none other than Blackwell, which is the codename for the next line of desktop GPUs which has been rumored for some time to make the jump to three nanometers and stick with a monolithic design. And of course we can take it for granted that a large part of its improvements compared to the current generation will come not so much by brute force (of course there will be something too), but by even greater specialization in artificial intelligence.

So, when the company itself has already “progressed” (albeit apocryphally) in its plans with regard to Hopper Next, i.e. Blackwell, we can conclude that NVIDIA has decided to repeat the life cycle of two years per generation. makes us hope that the future GeForce RTX 50 will see the light of day sometime in 2024probably the entire fourth quarter of the year.
