Bemused why AIBs are now releasing GDDR6 versions of the GTX 1650? Well, NVIDIA has the answer, and its reasoning suggests that it has forgotten that it released the GTX 1650 SUPER.

So it's clear NBC editors want to rant about this topic, given these posts.
It's clear you know the TU117 is different from the TU116, yet you aren't able to discern why one of them has access to a market the other one will never reach.
I'll give you the hint for a third "news article," using a "cloud tag" of key terms.

Oh, wait, that's just one term. The obvious one, too.
In the event it's redacted, here is the quote I was responding to:
QuoteHere's the thing: NVIDIA already released a GDDR6 version of the GTX 1650, the GTX 1650 SUPER. If GDDR5 memory is no longer an option, then why not phase out the GTX 1650 altogether?
Again, key hint. 75 Watts.

Take your tin foil hat off.
I'm not going to "redact" anything because I did not mention that the GTX 1650 SUPER requires a 6-pin.
Clearly, readers know that given your response.
Regardless, you could try giving your superiority complex the weekend off.
Regular GTX 1650 is important as a most powerful GPU that does not require additional power. If it dissapears, the only option left is GTX 1050, pretty bad.
Phase out the most powerful single slot pinless card? Nonsense. What they should make are single slot 1650 with GDDR6.
