Nvidia RTX 6000 series (codename Rubin)


Make no sense to launch RTX 50 SUPER with same GPU spec and more expensive memory, cant see any reason people willing to buy RTX 50 SUPER at very high price. It will not cost same as non RTX 50 SUPER and also non RTX 50 SUPER will not have price cuts due to GDDR7 memory shortage in 2026. It make sense to cancel RTX 50 SUPER because it is pointless and very expensive to launch at very late time in Q3 2026, it would be far too close to RTX 60 launch date. 16GB is fine to me but it would be pointless to buy RTX 5080 SUPER with 24GB that could cost me £1700 with same GPU performance. I rather to buy RTX 6080 24GB when it launch sometime in 2026.

Accorded to google AI that next generation flagship Radeon GPU will expect to complete prototype tapeout and have production chip ready for launch sometime in Q2 2026 to compete with RTX 6090. I guess launch date could change to Q3/Q4 2026 or CES 2027 due to GDDR7 memory shortage.

Next gen Radeon Q2 2026? Guess my 3080s gonna have to last just a little longer...
 

Nvidia CPX chip is GR212 and RTX 6090 chip is GR202, both already taped out months ago in 2025. The launch of consumer Rubin RTX 60 series are delayed pushed back further into H2 2027, that will give Nvidia a year to stockpile plenty of fast GDDR7 memory chips from both Samsung and Hynix to meet massive demand.

H2 2027 is good, Gives me time to save up, Will hopefully get a decent price for my 5090.
 
Makes me wonder if people are actually paying those prices though, can price them at 5k but doesn't mean they sell. I took a hit and paid £300 for 64GB GSKILL (now 799) and sold my 32GB for £150, I thought even if prices stabilise I'm not going to cry about paying £150.

guys

why doesnt Trump get involved in this, he will have the ability to solve the GPU and RAM price hikes with his military

His delta's can sweep in and eliminate the entity so that prices can go back into affordability

Unless the Ai bubble pops (which is certainly possible) I think Nvidia will struggle to release a compelling 6000 series.

Absent of an AI crash they'll still be able to make more money selling their wares business to business and the associated increased from that and meomoey shortages will make the likes of a 6090 even more prohibitively expensive with the minimum 32gb it will need to retain parity with the 5090 memory wise.
 

Nvidia will expect to announce N1/N1X ARM CPUs with Blackwell RTX 5060/5070 GPUs soon in Q1 2026 and it will launch in Q2 2026. Nvidia will launch next generation N2/N2X ARM CPUs with Rubin RTX 6060/6070 GPUs in Q3 2027 so this will certain be the launch date for next generation Rubin GPUs.

Yeah seems like a fairly concrete time frame now for the 6000 series due to how many are echoing roughly the same dates.
 
Jen's claims of 5x A.I performance boost for Rubin. I wonder if that will apply to all cards across the stack or just the top end workstation Rubin cards?

I don't think the performance increase will be anywhere near 5x

If it is Nvidia will end up selling a lot less cards.

Quite the opposite. Data centers are limited by power, so having faster cards for the same power, same price... always better. Big problem for those sitting in warehouse waiting for the grid to catch up :)
