This week, technical aspects of Nvidia’s latest product were leaked, the company’s new graphics card, the RTX 5090, which is considered one of the most powerful and up-to-date on the market. The CES 2025 exhibition, which will take place in January 2025, will be the stage where these new GPUs will be presented.
According to media specialized in computer and technological issues, the new Nvidia GPU will count With a massive GB202 GPU as well as 32GB of GDDR7 memory and a power requirement of 600W, making it the flagship of the RTX 50 series lineup.
At the Chinese technology forum Chiphell, leaked images of the new card reveal certain aspects of the architecture of the RTX 5090suggesting a major jump in performance for Nvidia’s next installment.
The leaked image shows an unsoldered PCB with a large BGA (Ball grid array) package for the GB202 GPU, which is expected to power graphics cards like the RTX 5090 and potentially the RTX 5090 Ti / RTX 5080 Ti in the future. One thing that stands out is that the PCB lacks Nvidia branding, suggesting that could belong to an external provider. The markings on the bottom right of the PCB suggest that this is a PNY model based on Nvidia’s PG145 (GB202) board, report Tom’s Hardware.
The PCB image shows 16 solder pads near the GPU core, suggesting 32GB of VRAM, although Nvidia could opt for 48 or 64GB. This improvement in memory and bandwidth will make the GPU ideal for heavy tasks such as 4K and 8K gaming, artificial intelligence (AI), professional editing, and digital mining. GDDR7 memory promises to be faster and more efficient than GDDR6X.
Leaked images of the RTX 5090 reveal a 512-bit memory interface and a total memory bandwidth of 1.79 TB/s, a significant jump from the RTX 4090’s 1 TB/s.
The RTX 5090 is expected to debut at CES 2025 in early January, alongside other GPUs from NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture lineup, such as the RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070. However, the price and final configurations are not confirmed yet.
These new GPUs to be presented in January will arrive a year after the launch of the RTX 4080 Super graphics card, a product that at the time was presented as a significant improvement in terms of cores, that is, the GPU components that carry out the processing of operations, as reported by CriptoNoticias.
Benefits for cryptocurrency miners
The new Nvidia graphics cards, with their improvements in memory and performance, could significantly benefit cryptocurrency miners.
In general, the increase in memory capacity and bandwidth allows more calculations to be processed per second, which translates into a higher hash rate, essential for digital mining. Additionally, improved energy efficiency could reduce operating costs, making mining more profitable.
The ability to handle compute-intensive workloads could also speed up verification of blocks and transactions across networks, improving the competitiveness of miners in an increasingly demanding market.
Nvidia shares on the rise
The launch of the graphics card and the leak of its specifications are known when that company has seen $30 billion in net inflows of individual investors in 2024.
This is the double of what the S&P 500 exchange-traded fund (ETF) costs and Tesla shares, which are the second and third most popular assets for retail trading, according to The Kobeissi Letter
Since 2021, Nvidia’s net revenue has seen an increase of approximately 900%. Meanwhile, Nvidia stock has gained a whopping 183% so far this yearwhich shows that retail is called by Nvidia’s performance.
