Nvidia seems to have internally shelved plans of launching the RTX 4090 Ti with 18,176 CUDA cores, likely because there is no real threat to the RTX 4090's dominance from AMD. Instead, the company could introduce new RTX 4070 and RTX 4060 refreshes. We are also getting to know that the upcoming RTX 50 Blackwell could very well use a 512-bit memory interface.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Nvidia-RTX-4090-Ti-with-18-172-CUDA-cores-shelved-due-to-lack-of-rivalry-from-AMD-Blackwell-to-feature-512-bit-memory-bus.736791.0.html
What is important is more VRAM is notebook cards. There is a RTX 4060 16Gb but the notebook card is stuck at 8Gb.
It's more profitable to sell these extra chips for AI. $2000 versus $40,000-$80,000 dollars. What would you choose as a company?
