NVIDIA IS PREPARING
its next-generation graphics cards, the Blackwell-based 50-series. Frankly, we were expecting much more at this stage. Nvidia has denied rumors of delays, and says it’s made changes to the photomask (the chip pattern used in lithography) to increase yield. This does sound like a delay to us. Blackwell’s main job is as a massive AI accelerator in racks, which is where Nvidia will make the billions of dollars the market expects to see in its results. Like it or not, consumer graphics cards come second.
