The American company is actively preparing (preparing?) us for the release of the new generation.
While NVIDIA has yet to provide any official information about the next GeForce RTX 5000 series, the company has already announced that its boss - the voluble Jensen Huang - will be speaking at CES 2025 in Las Vegas (January 7-10). The CEO will undoubtedly take advantage of his keynote to unveil the company's new graphics cards, which has now been more or less confirmed by a new, albeit still unofficial, source.
The VideoCardz site is relaying news that follows several rumours: NVIDIA has already stopped production of most of the GPUs powering the GeFroce RTX 4000 series. These so-called Ada Lovelace generation GPUs have been withdrawn from production lines over the last few weeks in order to limit the creation of excessive inventories: this has enabled NVIDIA to reduce its demand on TSMC, which manufactures the chips, and to switch over to GeForce RTX 5000 series GPUs. After all, you have to produce a little in advance to have cards to market at release time!

At the end of the summer, there was talk of GeForce RTX 4090s becoming scarce, as the AD102 GPU was no longer being produced by NVIDIA. Subsequently, it was the AD103 and AD104 that stopped leaving TSMC's production lines, and today we learn that the AD106 is facing the same fate. In the end, only the AD107 remains in production, a GPU found on entry-level NVIDIA graphics cards. These cards will not be immediately replaced by the release of the GeForce RTX 5000, as NVIDIA tends to focus on the high-end, then a few weeks later on the mid-range, before finally turning its attention to the entry-level.
