NVIDIA is set to launch its next-gen gaming GPUs, the GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, in late 2024.

The new GPUs are expected to feature GDDR7 memory and utilize a 3nm manufacturing process.

The RTX 5090 could deliver a 70% performance increase over the current RTX 4090 model.

NVIDIA has unveiled the Blackwell GPU architecture, the largest ever with over 200 billion transistors.

Blackwell is designed to significantly speed up training of large language models, by as much as 4x.

New features of the Blackwell architecture include the Transformer Engine, Trusted Execution Environment, and support for new compute systems.

Further details on the Blackwell architecture may be released at the forthcoming Computex trade show.
