As far as the new RTX 5050 is concerned, we have some news about the launch of this card, which is obviously causing quite a stir. Indeed, rumors were pointing to a July 1st launch, but NVIDIA is talking of availability “from the second half of July”. Meanwhile, speculation indicates that the card could arrive earlier in China!
RTX 5050: towards an early launch in China?
Well, the July 1st date is the official launch date, but not the actual availability. Indeed, at this time, it seems that the brand’s partners are not quite ready. However, in China, the situation is different, since this mention does not appear on the Chameleon’s slides. We can therefore deduce that Chinese consumers will have access to the card earlier than in Europe or the United States, for example. The question is, when will the card be available? As for tests and reviews, if you’re hoping to have access to tests on the day of the launch, obviously you shouldn’t count on it again. In short, this launch seems a little rushed to us, and the Chameleon seems to be taking everyone by surprise, with nothing ready… As for the card, it’s positioned in the entry-level sector, with an official price of $249. In terms of configuration, we’re looking at a GB207 equipped with a 2560 cuda core and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory with a 128-bit bus. Note that the mobile version differs from the desktop model in that it uses faster GDDR7 memory for greater bandwidth.
