Micron Ditches 2GB GDDR7, RTX 50 Series Memory Reliance Shifts

Micron has ended production of 2 GB GDDR7 memory chips (28/32 Gbps) used in some RTX 50‑series cards, leaving NVIDIA GPUs predominantly reliant on Samsung and SK Hynix for memory. The 3 GB GDDR7 variants are also listed as End of Life, effectively removing them from current RTX 50 usage. While Micron’s exit reduces available supply, Samsung and SK Hynix remain the main suppliers, and memory-price hikes persist, keeping higher‑VRAM GPUs pricey. Vendors are reportedly planning 4–6 GB GDDR7 options for the RTX 60 lineup around 2027–2028, with little immediate disruption to RTX 50 availability.

RTX 60-Series Rubin GPUs Delayed to 2028, Leaker Claims

A credible leaker says NVIDIA’s Rubin-based GeForce RTX 60-series won’t arrive until 2028, pushing back from earlier 2027 targets, with no official confirmation from NVIDIA. The report points to stretched memory supply and TSMC capacity, plus data-center demand shaping the roadmap, and notes a RTX 50 Super refresh stuck on pricey 3 GB GDDR7 modules; as with all leaks, the timing could still change before 2028.

NVIDIA's RTX PRO 5500 Blackwell Brings 84GB GDDR7 to Pro Workstations

NVIDIA today announced the RTX PRO 5500 “Blackwell” workstation GPU, packing 84 GB of GDDR7 on a GB202 die with 21,760 CUDA cores, a 416-bit memory bus and about 1,398 GB/s bandwidth. Designed for professional workloads, it supports MIG with an 84 GB single instance or two 42 GB instances, and carries a 600 W TDP in a rack-mount form factor with air or liquid cooling. It sits near the top of the RTX PRO line, between the RTX PRO 6000 and 5000, with pricing and availability details not yet announced.

Alibaba listing hints at 96 GB RTX 5090 mod under $4K

A Chinese OEM is selling a modified GeForce RTX 5090 with 96 GB of memory on Alibaba for $3,888, likely using a custom PCB and dual-sided GDDR7 modules (possibly with a reballed GPU die and leaked firmware). The price is notably lower than US RTX 5090s and the RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell, but buyers may face firmware instability and no official support; the listing also raises questions since it cites GDDR6X at 14 Gbps, which doesn’t align with a genuine 96 GB Blackwell build.

China's GPU Prices Soar as GDDR6/GDDR7 Costs Spike and Retailers Stockpile

GPU prices for Nvidia, AMD, and Intel have surged in mainland China as DRAM costs for GDDR6 and GDDR7 climb due to shortages, with manufacturers and retailers raising prices and stockpiling inventory. The increases span multiple models (e.g., RTX 5090 D, RTX 5080, 5060 Ti) and are expected to persist, as analysts forecast further DRAM price bumps in 2026, potentially dampening PC shipments and intensifying the market’s volatility.

NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Price Tops $13,250 on Memory Shortages

NVIDIA’s RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell is now listed at $13,250 on the official marketplace, more than 60% above its launch price of around $8,000 and about 30% higher than last month, driven by the card’s 96 GB GDDR7 memory amid ongoing memory shortages; the RTX 5090 also rises above $4,000 as AI demand sustains premium pricing for flagship GPUs.

Nvidia’s 12GB RAM boost for the RTX 5070 laptop comes with a hefty price tag

Nvidia has bumped the laptop GeForce RTX 5070 from 8GB to 12GB of GDDR7 (a 50% RAM increase) to ease bottlenecks, but the upgrade is expensive—about $1,199 for 12GB vs $699 for 8GB. The mobile GPU uses the same GB206 die with 4,608 CUDA cores and a 128-bit memory interface, so while the RAM boost helps, it doesn’t change the desktop-to-mobile performance gap. Ongoing memory shortages keep prices high across vendors, making the upgrade cost-prohibitive for many buyers.

NVIDIA Could Ship RTX 5060/5060 Ti With 9GB VRAM and Narrow 96-bit Bus

NVIDIA is reportedly planning RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti variants with 9 GB of GDDR7 VRAM using three 3 GB memory chips over a 96-bit bus, reducing memory bandwidth to about 336 GB/s to cut costs. The leak, attributed to Hakuitado on Board Channels via Gazlog and echoed by Harukaze5719 on X, suggests a May–June launch around Computex.

PS6 Rumors Hint at 30GB GDDR7 and 24GB Handheld Memory

Insider Gaming reports unverified leaks from leaker KeplerL2 on NeoGAF suggesting the PS6 could use up to 30GB of GDDR7 memory and a portable PlayStation handheld (Project Canis) with as much as 24GB LPDDR5X; the claims are not officially confirmed and a 2027 release window has been floated, so take the details with skepticism.

PS6 Rumor Teases 30GB RAM, But Price Tag Could Soar

A leak from Kepler L2 claims the PS6 could ship with 30GB of GDDR7 RAM on a 160-bit bus (640GB/s), a big jump from the PS5’s 16GB. But rising RAM costs amid a memory shortage could push the console’s MSRP higher, with some chatter suggesting up to a $100 increase for the 30GB configuration. The leak points to a 2026 arrival, with manufacturing in mid-2027 and a full launch in Fall 2027 or early 2028, though details should be treated as speculative.
