QuoteNvidia finds it more profitable to focus on RTX Pro cards
This. The same chips off the silicon wafer can be sold for a much higher profit in the workstation cards. (see here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackwell_(microarchitecture) in the "Consumer" table column of the GB202 in which GPU cards the same GB202 chip is being used and compare their prices)
QuoteMeanwhile, the manufacturer may skip the RTX 50 Super lineup entirely.
I hope they do. Never liked the mid-cycle refresh cards (same energy efficiency, same arch, same everything, just a few more cores..ok, the slight price-drop (on paper) was ok, but still) (aside if they would have used the 3 GB density chips, but then the upcoming RTX 60 series would have less to offer ;-), aside from the maybe ~30% energy efficiency improvement in raw performance).
For the RTX 60 series I hope NVIDIA improves the energy efficiency in path-tracing, aka full ray-tracing, by at least 2 times.
