Nvidia's next-gen RTX 60 GPUs might not be released until 2028, prominent leaker claims — gaming takes a back seat as company focuses on delivering data center products
Prominent hardware leaker Kopite7Kimi claims that Nvidia's next-generation RTX 60 series GPUs, based on the Rubin architecture, will not be released until at least 2028. This delay extends the Blackwell product cycle to six years, as Nvidia prioritizes its highly profitable data center and enterprise products over consumer graphics cards. The postponement is attributed to resource allocation for AI infrastructure and high component costs, leaving consumers with limited options and elevated prices for current-generation hardware.
- ▪Leaker Kopite7Kimi states that the Rubin-based RTX 60 series GPUs are now a 2028 product, marking another postponement from previous late-2027 estimates.
- ▪Nvidia is expected to generate $20 billion from Vera Rubin data center products in Q3 2027, driving the company to focus resources on enterprise solutions rather than consumer GPUs.
- ▪The rumored RTX 50 Super series refresh has been sidelined or delayed due to the high cost of denser 3GB GDDR7 VRAM chips.
- ▪Current RTX 5090 prices have surged above $9,000 due to market demand and supply constraints, making new consumer hardware prohibitively expensive for many buyers.
