NVIDIA Blackwell Architecture & GeForce RTX 5000 Series

Here is everything we know about Nvidia’s next-gen GPU architecture Blackwell and the GeForce RTX 5000 series. Please note that this is based on rumors and speculation, so some of the information may be inaccurate or subject to change.

  • Blackwell is the rumored codename for Nvidia’s next-generation GPU architecture, which will succeed the current Lovelace architecture.
  • Blackwell is expected to power the GeForce RTX 5000 series of graphics cards, which will be the next generation of Nvidia’s gaming GPUs.
  • The GeForce RTX 5000 series will likely feature GPU dies built using TSMC’s 3nm process, which could offer significant performance and efficiency improvements over the 8nm process used by Lovelace.
  • The GeForce RTX 5000 series will also likely feature more advanced Tensor and RT cores, which are responsible for AI and ray tracing acceleration respectively. These could enable more realistic and immersive graphics and gaming experiences.
  • The GeForce RTX 5000 series is rumored to launch in 2025, according to Nvidia’s latest roadmap. This would break Nvidia’s tradition of releasing a new generation of GPUs every two years or so.
  • The reason for the delay could be due to several factors, such as the global chip shortage, the high demand for Nvidia’s AI and data center products, and the lack of competition from AMD in the high-end GPU market.
  • The price of the GeForce RTX 5000 series is unknown at this time, but it will likely scale similarly to the Lovelace GPUs in price. However, this could change depending on the market conditions and consumer demand.
  • The announcement of the GeForce RTX 5000 series is expected to happen at sometime in Q2 of 2024.
