- Nvidia allegedly planned the launch of RTX 5000 laptops for January 2025
- The rumor states that the original term was removed to March (and April for lower level notebooks)
- This is apparently wrapped in chips production and adjustment problems in which games of games are not a priority compared to AI graphics cards
NVIDIA stock levels for their Blackwell GeForce GPU are becoming an increasing source of concern, and the eyebrows of PC players who hope vine vine
Actually, this is on the subject of the GPUs of the laptop, but it is more widely applied to the general situation with Nvidia Blackwell chips, as we will see.
With RTX 5000 laptop computers, NVIDIA already told us that laptops RTX 5090, 5080 and 5070 TI will be launched in March, with live orders live on February 25, and then the notebooks with the RTX 5070 are not due until April
However, as Videcardz was noticed, a Digitimes report carries the news of the supply chain of the notebook that Nvidia originally planned a January debut for high -end Blackwell laptops, which has been withdrawn to March. And that the middle -to -low end notebooks presumably refer to those carrying the RTX 5070, were originally scheduled for March, but were pushed to April.
Add a lot of skepticism, as always, and we would not call exactly a laptop that packs an RTX 5070 as ‘lower level’ in any way. Perhaps translation problems are entering a bit at stake, unless the report also refers to RTX 5060 models (but Nvidia has not yet announced).
In any case, the really interesting part with this article is that Digitimes provides us with a reason for this apparent delay, which is unexpected by the industry in general, namely that Nvidia is having its R&D resources that extend too much of different ways.
Basically, the wide statement is that the “purification” (adjustment and improvement) for the Blackwell data center in Nvidia and games for games is attracting the company in this way and that, and something has to give. And guess what? It is not the AI or the heavyweight GPU that is obtaining the short end of the stick, since that is where the great money resides: it is the less profitable game graphics cards.
Or that is the theory anyway, and it seems quite credible speculation.
Digitimes reports that anonymous sources from the supply chain have said: “Nvidia, which has never been late [to launch a product] In the past, he also found this situation. It is probably related to the complete sprint of NVIDIA to the AI servers. Although there are differences in the manufacturing and design processes of server and PC chips, the company’s resources allocation can still affect the efficiency of purification of new products. “
In addition to this, more about the reasons of the computers of delay of the GPU of the laptop up to the performance not reaching expectations, and “screen problems after the hardware turns on” (again, be very careful with the possible problems of translation here and remember all this are just rumors).
Analysis: More stock problems?
This supposedly pushing back from the launch time frame of the portable computer GPU Recently with RTX 5090 and 5080 desktop GPU, and in the past, too).
In fact, I agree, it is unusual for Nvidia not to make a launch period announced, and perhaps revealing, this is exactly what happened with the RTX 5070 Desktop graphics card. Both this GPU and its 5070 ti desktop brother had been confirmed for February, and then, suddenly, we heard that it will now be March 5 for RTX 5070, with Nvidia glossing about it. (The RTX 5070 TI is still due in February, next week, done).
All this, and several rumors about stock concerns for RTX 5070 and 5060 desktop models, the flames of concern for Blackwell Gaming GPUs in general advance. And this Digitimes report also points out that “no one can guarantee whether the launch date [of RTX 5000 laptops] It will extend ”, suggesting that a possible delay could even be on the cards.
Which adds to general fatality and the penumbra of Blackwell’s launch so far. The rumors of street vendors are becoming too loud and consistent for my liking in terms of all this, that is safe.
