Nvidia's RTX 5000 Super Cancelled? Good Riddance to This Overhyped Garbage
Alright, let's get one thing straight: the tech world's obsession with Nvidia is reaching peak absurdity. So, the rumor mill's buzzing that the RTX 5000 Super series might get axed because of GDDR7 shortages? Frankly, good riddance.
The AI Hype Train is Derailing Everything
Seriously, are we surprised? AI is the new crypto, sucking up all the resources and leaving us regular consumers with table scraps. The article mentions Samsung and Micron prioritizing DDR5 and HBM for AI over GDDR7 for graphics cards. Of course they are! Why sell to gamers when you can fleece corporations desperate to jump on the AI bandwagon?
And don't even get me started on this "sovereign AI" nonsense. Countries pouring billions into an "AI arms race"? Give me a break. It's just another excuse for governments to waste taxpayer money on useless tech that'll probably be obsolete in six months.
Nvidia's "Clever" Revenue Stream? More Like a Scam
Nvidia's $100 billion "partnership" with OpenAI? They call it "a clever way of ensuring a continued revenue stream." I call it buying your own damn revenue. They invest in AI companies, who then use that money to buy Nvidia chips. It's a closed loop of self-congratulatory garbage.
Plus, let's be real, the whole CUDA lock-in thing is anti-competitive as hell. "De facto standard for AI developers and researchers"? More like a gilded cage. Try switching to another platform, and you're basically starting from scratch. It's like being forced to use Internet Explorer in 2025.
So What if Gaming Gets the Shaft?
The article from Tom's Hardware whines, "It wouldn't look good for Nvidia to cancel or delay a potential RTX 5000 Super launch, as the company likely wants to continue to keep its presence known in the gaming space even though it's but a fraction of its income." Oh no! Won't somebody please think of the gamers? You can read more about the potential cancellation in Nvidia's RTX 5000 Super could be cancelled or get pricier due to AI-induced GDDR7 woes — rumor claims 3 GB memory chips are now too valuable for consumer GPUs.
Look, Nvidia doesn't give a damn about gaming anymore. It's all about datacenters and AI accelerators. And why should they? They're making bank hand over fist. We're just along for the ride, and offcourse, we're paying for it.
And this whole thing about the current models getting more expensive? Shocker! Remember when the RTX 4080 Super was supposed to be cheaper than the RTX 4080? Yeah, that lasted about five minutes.
Here's the translation: "Graphics card partners don't source RAM modules directly: they purchase them as part of a package from Nvidia, which includes the GPU. It's unlikely Jensen will be telling his bean counters to absorb the rising cost of memory chips, so that means Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, and others will need to pay more for the packages, and it's obvious what that will mean for us." We're getting screwed, plain and simple.
So What's the Real Scam?
Honestly, I'm starting to think the whole "shortage" thing is a manufactured crisis to justify price hikes. Are we really supposed to believe that Samsung and Micron can't ramp up GDDR7 production if they really wanted to? Or is it more profitable to keep supply constrained and jack up the prices?
Then again, maybe I'm the crazy one here. Maybe I'm just a grumpy old man yelling at clouds. But something smells fishy, and it ain't the silicon.
