NVidia RTX 50 Series leak reveals new Blackwell architecture and 5 variants

Nvidia’s upcoming RTX 50 series GPUs are currently a hot topic in the hardware industry. The latest leak reveals five variants and a new architecture that will be used for next-generation GPUs. These GPUs will address different types of users across the lineup, including enthusiasts and entry-level price points, and will replace the existing Ada Lovelace architecture used in the RTX 40-series GPUs. That being said, here are all the details you need to know about the upcoming RTX 5000 series graphics cards.

Nvidia RTX 50 series variants leaked

A post by the leaker on Chiphell.com’s forums initially discussed what the next generation of GPUs would need. Popular hardware site Videocardz then contacted reputed Nvidia leaker kopite7kimi to confirm that the leak in the forum post was true. The publication was also provided with a SKU list for the upcoming Nvidia RTX 50-series GPUs, as detailed below.

The RTX 4090 is based on the AD102 graphics processor, which uses the Ada Lovelace architecture. Similarly, the leaked variants mentioned above are arranged according to the entry-level to ultra-enthusiast segment. One of the key takeaways from this leak is that the GB204 part is missing, suggesting that Nvidia is planning to change the naming pattern.

Previously, kopite7kimi also leaked the memory interface of Ada-Next (the successor to the RTX 40 series, also rumored to be Blackwell ) and said that multiple sources confirmed that it will have a 512-bit memory interface .

When will the Nvidia RTX 50 series be released?

What do we know about the RTX 50 series GPU release dates? NVIDIA typically releases new GPUs on a 24-month cycle. But now, a leaked timeline suggests a 2025 release date for the RTX 5090 and other new graphics cards. This leak comes from HardwareLuxx.de who shared the roadmap shared between NVIDIA and MLCommons during a briefing. Watch this below. Ada Lovelace-Next is apparently scheduled for release in 2025.

By the way, in case you missed it above, Ada Lovelace-Next is rumored to be called Blackwell, and the leaked variant’s codename is mentioned in the table above. The few leaks so far regarding the upcoming RTX 50 series GPUs are definitely exciting.
