➀ NVIDIA introduces the Rubin CPX GPU, a specialized accelerator for AI inference's context phase using cost-effective GDDR7 memory;

➁ GDDR7 reduces power and cost by 50% compared to HBM3E/HBM4, avoiding CoWoS packaging and enabling distributed AI processing;

➂ The Vera Rubin NVL144 CPX system integrates CPX GPUs with 8 ExaFLOPS performance and Dynamo orchestration for automatic workload optimization.

❶ A modified NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPU with 128GB GDDR7X VRAM emerges in China's underground market, priced at $13,200 for AI workloads.

❷ Custom PCB design and prototype memory chips enable the VRAM upgrade, requiring dual-sided configurations and custom firmware to function.

❸ Concerns arise about fraudulent resale of stripped GPU cores and the technical viability of high-density memory mods amid the AI hardware boom.

➀ NVIDIA's RTX 50 Super series (RTX 5070/5070 Ti/5080 Super) is rumored to feature significant VRAM upgrades (up to 24GB of GDDR7) and increased power consumption (415W TGP);

➁ The RTX 5070 Super may offer 18GB VRAM (+50% vs non-Super) with 6,400 CUDA cores, while the RTX 5080 Super could pack 24GB GDDR7 and 10,752 cores;

➂ Consumers anticipate improved performance for 4K gaming and AI workloads, but pricing remains a concern given NVIDIA's historical market trends.

➀ NVIDIA's next-gen AI accelerator for China will abandon the Hopper architecture due to U.S. export bans, shifting from HBM to GDDR7 memory;

➁ The move follows a $5.5 billion loss after the H20 chip was prohibited, with Huawei's Ascend 920 poised to fill the market gap;

➂ Technical challenges remain as Hopper's design conflicts with GDDR7, potentially forcing NVIDIA to adapt consumer-grade Blackwell architecture for compliance.

➀ NVIDIA plans to release two GeForce RTX 5060 Ti models with 8GB and 16GB of GDDR7 memory;

➁ The cards will be powered by the GB206-300-A1 RTX Blackwell chip with 4608 CUDA Cores;

➂ The performance is expected to be similar to the RTX 4070, with a rumored launch in April or May 2025.
