NVIDIA Readies GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER with GDDR6 Memory for Late November
It turns out that the GeForce GTX 1660 Super will be joined by another "Super" SKU by NVIDIA, the GeForce GTX 1650 Super, according to a VideoCardz report. Slated for a November 22 launch, the GTX 1650 Super appears to be NVIDIA's response to the Radeon RX 5500, which is being extensively compared to the current GTX 1650 in AMD's marketing material. While the core-configuration of the GTX 1650 Super is unknown, NVIDIA is giving it 4 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 128-bit wide memory interface, with a data-rate of 12 Gbps, working out to 192 GB/s of memory bandwidth. In comparison, the GTX 1650 uses 8 Gbps GDDR5 and achieves 128 GB/s memory bandwidth.
It remains to be seen just how much the improved memory subsystem helps the GTX 1650 Super catch up to the RX 5500, given that a maxed out TU117 silicon only has 128 more CUDA cores on offer, and AMD is claiming a 37% performance lead over the current GTX 1650 for its RX 5500. One possible way it can create the GTX 1650 Super is by tapping into the larger "TU116" silicon with 1/3rd of its memory interface disabled, and fewer CUDA cores than the GTX 1660. We'll know more in the run up to November 22.

Everybody knows 7nm is the one to wait for, stop wasting our time tyvm
The 12nm process is probably having excellent yelds by now (even considering the big dies) and in terms of performance/efficiency Nvidia is not under too much pressure from AMD.
NVIDIA Could Launch GTX 1650 Ti on October 22nd
Ignorant if you ask me.
1660 should have gddr6 and then the new line of cards should all be gddr6 by that point. (Rtx3000/gtx1700)
EDIT: Videocardz have spilled final specs for these cards. GTX 1650 Super should be cut down tu116 with 1280cc and 4GB 12Gbps gddr6 on 128bit bus. No pricing so they are obviously waiting for the RX 5500.
