In a surprising shift, the first of its kind in three decades, specialized industry reports revealed the possibility that NVIDIA will not launch any new gaming-oriented graphics cards during the year 2026. This exciting decision is attributed to the severe shortage that the world is witnessing in advanced memory chips (DRAM), which prompted the company to take a strategic decision to transfer its entire share of these important resources to meet the growing demand for artificial intelligence processors.
According to “The Information” website, NVIDIA has already finished designing the “RTX 50 Super” series, but logistical problems and the preference for higher profit margins in the data center sector led to large-scale production being postponed. At the same time, the prices of current leading cards are skyrocketing on the market, putting players in a difficult situation. The company confirms that the priority now is to meet the needs of major companies that are building artificial intelligence infrastructure, a sector that has come to represent the largest portion of the company’s annual revenues.
Strategic shift towards data centers:
These developments come as NVIDIA tops the list of the most valuable companies in the world, with its market value exceeding $4 trillion, driven by the artificial intelligence “bubble” that turned the company’s chips into strategic commodities for which countries and major companies compete.
The global memory crisis and its impact:
The shortage of high-speed memory components has forced major manufacturers to rearrange their priorities, negatively impacting the PC market. Games no longer represent only a small percentage of NVIDIA’s income, which explains the company’s temporary abandonment of this sector in favor of future technologies. (Erm News)
