The leaker, who posts on the Anandtech forums, also addressed recent rumours about the RTX 5000 Super range, suggesting they may not be released at all. This follows a similar sentiment from another leaker, MEGAsizeGPU, who expressed pessimism about the lineup. The lack of new gaming GPUs is attributed to the current state of the DRAM market, where memory makers are shifting capacity to HBM for AI data centres, leaving little supply for GDDR chips. This shortage makes it expensive and difficult to manufacture new graphics cards with higher VRAM capacities.

AMD is also rumoured to be working on an extremely powerful RDNA 5 chip, codenamed AT0, which could go up against the RTX 6090. There are also whispers about AT3 and AT4 flavours at the cheaper end of the scale. Essentially, the gaming GPU market is set to be on hold for over a year, leaving enthusiasts waiting until 2028 for significant upgrades.
