Nvidia’s RTX 50 series will represent an extraordinary leap in performance over the RTX 40 series and will be even bigger than the jump between RTX 40 and RTX 30, according to the latest rumors surfacing about this architecture, although we’re still two years away from seeing it in action.
Nvidia RTX 50 “Blackwell”: the biggest performance leap in Nvidia’s history, according to new information Nvidia typically updates its graphics cards with a new architecture every two years, and it looks like that will continue when the company launches the RTX 50 “Blackwell” series in 2024.
According to the information we have, the RTX 50 ”Blackwell” series will be the first to feature an MCM GPU design, as AMD did with the RDNA 3 GPUs. However, it should be noted that this rumor talks about Blackwell as the codename for RTX 50, although this is not correct and the source does not claim that this is the name of the graphics architecture for the consumer market and that it could be the successor Hopper, which is not suitable for “gaming”.
According to information from RedGamingTech, Nvidia Blackwell will feature a completely redesigned SM structure. The various SMs and chiplets will be interconnected via a super-fast bus and an internal design that will greatly improve ray-tracing performance. Blackwell is being developed on a 3nm node from TSMC.
RedGamingTech is also expecting “the biggest performance leap in NVIDIA’s history.”
Previously, we talked about Blackwell, a name Nvidia chose to honor American statistician and mathematician David Blackwell. Nvidia continues its strategy of naming its graphics architectures after celebrities in computer science and statistics. We will keep you posted on further developments.
