Nvidia's next major gaming GPUs could slip to 2028
Nvidia's next generation of graphics cards for gamers, the RTX 60 series, may not hit shelves until 2028, according to hardware leaker Kopite7Kimi. This pushes the release back another year from the previously rumored 2027 date. Nvidia hasn't confirmed the delay. Both sources agree the postponement is unannounced and likely tied to the company's focus on data center chips and an ongoing memory shortage.
- Leaker says consumer GPUs delayed until at least 2028
- 2027 date now looks unlikely, per multiple reports
- No official announcement from Nvidia yet
- Server chips and memory supply issues cited as possible reasons

Apple A20 Pro chip to use 2nm technology in iPhone 18 Pro
Apple’s next iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will run on the A20 Pro chip, which is now confirmed to use TSMC’s 2-nanometer manufacturing process—making it Apple’s first iPhone chip with this tech. Reports peg the new chip as up to 18% faster and 30% more power efficient than last year’s version. Graphics and AI features will also see refinements, but not another leap like last year.
Apple M5 Ultra chip posts high early benchmark score
An early and unverified benchmark for Apple’s new M5 Ultra chip popped up online. The Mac Studio with this chip scored 3,774 for single-core and 52,516 for multi-core performance, which—if confirmed—makes it Apple’s fastest to date and puts it about 30% ahead of the M3 Ultra. The base Mac Studio with an M5 Ultra starts at $6,799. Real-world tests may differ.
AMD hits $1 trillion market value for first time
AMD’s stock broke records on Monday, topping $1 trillion in market value as shares climbed nearly 10% to about $614. The jump extends a five-day rally, with shares up roughly 24% over that stretch. AMD is now one of the few chipmakers ever to hit this valuation, as investors bet heavily on its role in powering artificial intelligence systems.
Intel and SK Hynix discuss possible US memory chip partnership
Intel and SK Hynix are in early talks about manufacturing SK Hynix memory chips—used in AI and data centers—at Intel’s new Ohio plant, according to Reuters. Options on the table include SK Hynix leasing part of Intel’s facility, and perhaps forming a joint venture with major cloud companies. Nothing is final, and the Korean government may push back because the chip tech is sensitive. Both stocks climbed on the news.
