NVIDIA’s RTX 5090 Launch Plans

gemini

The Power of RTX 5090 May Depend on New AMD Graphics CardsRelease expected in the last quarter of next year. Those eagerly anticipating the release of NVIDIA’s RTX 5090 in 2024 should pay close attention to AMD’s actions, as NVIDIA might “coordinate” the launch of the RTX 5090 in response to AMD’s moves regarding their own next-generation GPUs. A recent video from the technology channel Moore’s Law is Dead discusses the potential release date of the RTX 5090. According to information obtained from a source, the launch of the new generation cards in 2024 largely depends on the competitiveness of the upcoming AMD RDNA4 graphics processors. The source suggests that NVIDIA is preparing its new consumer architecture, based on the forthcoming Blackwell architecture, for a potential release in the fourth quarter of 2024. The release timeline is solely dependent on the sales results of the current RTX 4000 series over the next year. Furthermore, the impact of the next-generation AMD…

The B650 chipset has become AMD’s most popular chipset

B650 chipset

The B650 chipset has become AMD’s most popular chipset, surpassing the B550 and A520 in sales. In Korea, B650 motherboards have achieved a market share of 34.4% by the end of October, outperforming their AM4 predecessors. The AMD socket AM4 has been hugely successful, with economical chipsets like B450 and then B550 outdoing all Intel alternatives in sales. However, the introduction of the AM5 platform and the B650 chipset was slow initially, but it has gained momentum over time. Since the beginning of 2023, the popularity of B550 motherboards has been declining, dropping from 48.6% in January to 18% by the end of October. Meanwhile, the more affordable A520 offerings have maintained their market share at around 23%. Sales data from Mindfactory in Germany indicate a similar trend, with AM5 boards initially lagging behind AM4 and Intel LGA1700, but then picking up pace in sales during autumn and surpassing older models by December. The B650-based boards are now the best-selling…

Samsung and Naver have developed an AI processor

Samsung and Naver

That is eight times more energy-efficient than the best NVIDIA chip.The collaboration between Samsung and Naver in producing chips for hyperscale AI models seems to be yielding results: the companies claim that their solution, based on user-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), is eight times more energy-efficient than any NVIDIA product. This bold statement will undoubtedly be scrutinized when independent parties have the opportunity to examine the Naver chip closely. According to the companies’ representatives, this high energy efficiency is partly achieved by integrating low-power DRAM (LPDDR) into the chip, although the exact type of memory is not specified. However, detailed information on how LPDDR works in this new chip and what specifically could lead to such a significant performance improvement is limited. Naver’s hyperscale language model, HyperCLOVA, also plays a key role in achieving high efficiency. Naver claims it continues to work on improving this model, hoping to achieve even greater efficiency by refining compression algorithms and simplifying the model. Currently,…
