NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang made a trip to TSMC headquarters in Taiwan, where it was confirmed that its Blackwell successor was in early testing.

I mean duh? Could you imagine if the successor wasn't in development before the current was out? What do you just give all of your development engineers a quarter or two off to chill and come back? No, sure they might stack up some vacations but development continues.

I just don't see how it's news other than Mr. Huang saying something obvious that now that his company has eclipsed 4 trillion in value everyone says... "Oh gee wow... how innovative!"

I dislike their habit of referring to rather different architectures by the same name.

Intel - Hold my 🍻! 🤣

Also- for the CGPU's, wonder if they'll drop 12HPWR for a better solution.
 
RGT mentioned of a 5060 super 12gb with tentative launch msrp of $350

But recent leaks have not mentioned that card. Maybe it's low down the pecking order & another 6 to 9 months away 🤔

If true that would be an awesome budget card for sure.

I mean... if you're designing an office building your architecting an office building... No different for GPU's... right?

Kidding I know there's all different styles of Architecture. I was being silly.
 
Wow... and watching pricing still ummm.. creeping? No... racing up... on 5090's... makes me look at my rig and pray for my 5090! lol
 
This is totally shocking to see. So unexpected.

Look at how surprised we all really are here.

No really.
