I have a theory that we are going to 4 years circle in gaming GPUs. I believe that Ada Next might be just a refresh of Ada with cards that will be fixing some of the current line issues. Maybe this is one more reason why Nvidia released such a flawed series. To make 5000 series look superior to 4000 series, while being the same architecture. So, maybe 4090 Ti will be 5090 with a 512bit data bus, 4080 Ti will end up as a 5080 and all cards underneath will get extra CUDA cores and VRAM to look superior to the current line of 4060s and 4070s. AMD done that in the past, in their gloom and doom days when they didn't had much money to spend. When they gone from
7000 series to
200 series.
Why I am saying it? Because AMD is not really in a hurry to come out with these new RDNA3 cards. Maybe they are not better than 6000 series or even worst in some cases (video playback power usage), maybe they are more expensive to produce offering nothing new really in performance, maybe there are still too many 6000 cards in the market. We all have speculated those reasons. But what if they KNOW they have time?
What if they know that Nvidia will greatly decelerate gaming cards development? We see low end graphics cards that are 10 years or more old to keep selling in the market. Who says that we will keep getting a TRUE new architecture every 2 years? In the past we where expecting a new architecture every year, even sooner than that. Now we are at a 2 years circle. Who says we can't go to 4 years circle with a simple refresh in the middle of that period?
. The first year is the launch of the first product , the last year the launch of the last product.
