NVIDIA is preparing to launch its new RTX 50 “Blackwell” graphics cards.. An important start for the industry, considering that the green giant regained market share in the last quarter, occupying 88% of the dedicated segment.

So far, the next-generation company “Blackwell” has only introduced server and AI versions, but there is no official information about the chips that will be used in the GeForce client versions or the versions that will be released. . Of course, there were all kinds of information in that tag that we’ve been gathering and now we’re getting more from the prolific kopite7kimi, with previous success when it comes to NVIDIA leaks, though this remains just another rumor.

RTX 50 graphics cards, version

If the information is confirmed, NVIDIA would create five different chips (graphics cores) which their manufacturing partners would use to launch RTX 50 graphics cards:

• GB202: 12 GPC (Graphic Processing Clusters) x 8 TPC for 192 SM (Streaming Multiprocessors) – 24,576 CuDA cores – 512 bits GDDR7.
• GB203: 7 GPC x 6 TPC for 84 SM – 10,752 CuDA cores – 256 bits GDDR7.
• GB205: 5 GPC x 5 TPC for 50 SM – 6400 CuDA cores – 192 bits GDDR7.
• GB206: 3 GPC x 6 TPC for 36 SM – 6144 CuDA cores – 128 bits GDDR7.
• GB207: 2 GPC x 5 TPC for 20 SM – 2560 CuDA cores – 128 bits GDDR6.

Putting the data into context, the GB202 would be the top of the line, responsible for powering the GeForce RTX 5090. A chip with huge performance and the latest generation of GDDR7 memory. Assuming the memory speed for the NVIDIA “Blackwell” generation would be 28 Gbps, the card would have a colossal Bandwidth 1792 GB/s available memory.

The GB203 GPU would power the RTX 5080, while the GB205 would be for the RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti. The GB206 is expected to be powered by the RTX 5060 Ti. Its 128-bit memory interface is quite narrow, which could cause some performance limitations. Finally, the GB207 GPU would power the RTX 5060 and/or RTX 5050. It would be the only one not to jump to the next generation of GDDR7 memory, probably as a mid-range and higher-end differentiator and to save costs.

As for the release date of the RTX 50 graphics cards, The end of 2024 is still being talked aboutbut like all the information in this article is also not confirmed.
