Blackwell card availability will be limited. The reason is simple
If you are waiting for Blackwell series graphics cards, you must know that purchasing them may be very difficult. NVIDIA itself admitted this.
All RTX 40 Lovelace series graphics cards are probably already on sale. No new models will appear on store shelves in the coming months. Now we have to wait for the new generation, i.e. GeForce RTX 50 Blackwell. What will their availability be?
Blackwell availability will be limited
NVIDIA admitted that the demand for specialized AI chips is so great that it will affect the availability of the next generation of graphics cards, known as Blackwell. The decision is not surprising. Every company exists to make as much money as possible, and at this point AI is the goose that lays golden eggs, so there is no surprise that the Greens are making such a decision.
We are pleased that the supply of Hopper architectural products is improving. Demand for Hopper remains very strong. We expect our next generation products to be in limited supply as demand significantly outstrips supply.
– said Colette Kress, Chief Financial Officer.
Of course, Colette Kress is largely talking about Blackwell AI systems, i.e. the B100, B40 and GB200 models., which should be presented in March. However, no one doubts that the same will happen with cards intended for the consumer market, i.e. the GeForce RTX 50 series. The Greens will certainly not give up huge earnings to please players from whom they earn much less.
NVIDIA, thanks to the huge demand for AI chips, jumped to fourth place among the most valued companies in the world. They overtook, among others, Alphabet (Google) and Amazon. Only Saudi Aramco, Apple and Microsoft are ahead of them.
