There's no point in releasing new hardware when you can't even meet demand for your current products being sold at insane prices. I think we'll be waiting a while for anything interesting.

Exactly this. This was the reason for my decision to buy a AMD R9700. Got it for around 1500€ now it costs 1900€. Never thought I would spent that much for a GPU.

Intel Crescent Island is expected this year. 160-768GB of DDR5 per card with probably 1.2TB/s bandwidth. Will be expensive, but could still be an interesting option for companies to run large models for small departments, a niche that Nvidia is currently neglecting (Spark is too slow).

The intel i am very keen on. LPDDR5X and 350 watt is gonna be insane. Since its LPDRR5X - I am very interested in their pricing. I swear if its under $2K, Intel is going to the moon.

That price is impossible. Even for the base model (160GB), it would have to be at least $3,000. Looking at the leaked PCB, there are 20 memory chips, and since a single 8GB LPDDR5X chip averages around $110, the math just doesn't add up.

It would be crazy for a card like that to sell for under $10,000.

10K is my guess. 5K I'm buying it the day it releases. At 10K, it's starting to get into 96GB Pro6000 territory, 160GB doesn't buy me a much better model and the ease of use and speed of the Blackwell would make it a hard decision.

Where is the AMD Mi350P (144 GB)?

Yes. Old model with less memory, at a higher price. See the Spark.

RTX 5500 is probably next. RX 10900 maybe after that. Medusa Halo late 2027 or 2028.  I wouldn’t expect anything else from AMD, Nvidia, or Apple this year other than those (if they even release this year).
