NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Reportedly Scheduled for July Release
NVIDIA is preparing some of the final SKUs for its GeForce RTX 50 series "Blackwell" graphics cards, with the last entry being the least powerful entry-level GeForce RTX 5050 GPU. The RTX 5050 is based on GB207 SKU with 2,560 CUDA cores. Running on a 128-bit but, it carries 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, with for now unknown memory bandwidth. It carries a 130 W TDP, meaning that some improvements have been made from the previous generation RTX 4050 desktop GPU. For comparison, the last-generation RTX 4050 also had 2,560 CUDA cores, but had 6 GB of memory and 100 W TDP. Given 30% higher TDP and higher memory capacity, the Blackwell revision should give decent performance bump even with the similar CUDA core configuration. As the launch is rumored for July, we are standing by for more information about performance and price targets NVIDIA envisions.

Nothing mores needs to be said.
Like for some time every CPU with integrated graphics card now boldly advertises "AI" acceleration and publishes TOPS scores, I thought Nvidia would try to sell even cheaper cards like RTX 5060, 5050 as an upgrade and additional AI acceleration. I guess their marketing correctly saw that there is still basically no applications on PCs that uses local AI acceleration and is worth advertising, the whole thing is in fact an embarrassment.
:p
Nvidia buried it because it would have sucked and it would have been really bad PR, back in a time when they still cared about Geforce revenue and weren't an AI company.

:eek:Will it be even smaller then the one fan 5060s?
Guess it will be that $200-250 card that everyone keeps bringing up that older generations had.
Having 8GB for the 5050 just show how much this is the very minimum now..
