News about the RTX 5050 9GB continues to pour in, and this time we’re hearing about how the card will be built. According to the latest rumors, in order to simplify production, the card may well use an RTX 5060 GPU and PCB. Of course, all this should be taken with a grain of salt, but these are the latest assumptions at the moment.
RTX 5050 9GB: an RTX 5060PCB andGPU to simplify production?
To put it simply, this graphics card would be an entry-level card… But NVIDIA’s goal is to move away from GDDR6 in favor of GDDR7, probably for reasons of availability. To do this, the brand would reduce the original 128-bit memory bus to a 96-bit bus. Finally, the 2 GBGDDR6 chips would be replaced by 3 GBGDDR7 modules. Finally, the difference in frequency between the two standards means that we would gain memory bandwidth: 336 GB/s versus 320 GB/s.
In addition,leakers reveal that a GB206-150-Kx-A1 GPU and a PG-152-SKU40 PCB could be used to produce this card. Broadly speaking, this corresponds to components found on the RTX 5060, and the reason behind this is quite simple: it is easier to use components that are already compatible and to castrate the GPU to the specifications of the RTX 5050 than to design a new printed circuit board. What’s more, these components are already available and ready to use, especially since NVIDIA favors the production of this type of component.
Furthermore, the fact that the Chameleon uses components from a larger card does not mean that the specifications will be improved. No, theGPU will be castrated to the level of the RTX 5050. This translates into a chip containing 2560CUDA cores anda TDP of 130W. Moreover, the frequencies are not expected to change either.
Finally, the latest rumors point to a launch at Computex!
