First Leaks of Upcoming Graphics Cards Model Names From Both AMD and NVIDIA Appears
Once again the Eurasian Economic Commission has been helpful by sharing the model names of multiple upcoming graphics cards from both AMD and NVIDIA, which was dug up by @harukaze5719. This time around it's AFOX, a fairly minor graphics card manufacturer based out of Hong Kong that has submitted products for trademark registration. If these are the final product names or not, it's not clear and there are some "irregularities" in the submission as well, but we'll get to that in a second. Looking at the AMD cards, all the model names are as expected, ranging from the Radeon RX 7500 to the RX 7900XT in even steps of 100, with non XT and XT models for each SKU.
On the NVIDIA side we have the RTX 4050 to the RTX 4090TI, again with even steps, but of 10 this time and TI models of all cards, which seems a bit odd on the lower-end. However, AFOX has also registered trademarks for four RTX 30x0 Super cards, suggesting that NVIDIA might refresh its lineup of Ampere cards before it launches the 4000-series. This is obviously just an indication of things that may happen and should be taken with a fair helping of salt.

I've already got my 3080ti what's the point of a super? They already released the 12gb version.
Eventually I expect to see them releasing a RTX 4080 Super Duper Pooper Scooper model.
Shouldn't they be on the tech trade ban list?
Also funny, folks claiming on reddit Afox is using used (mined) chips for their GPU's: Is AFOX a good gpu brand? even though I've found it really unpopular in my country
I agree that this could have been lumped in with some other related news instead of a standalone feed.
But...
RTX 2050 ?!?!?!
Am I the only one that saw that?
Ok, since this is an AIB manufacturer that does not make laptops, I assume this is a new desktop SKU. That being said, the two most likely configurations are a cut-down TU106 die to 1650-1660 specs but with RT and Tensor cores enabled, or slap the unicorn that is the 2050 Mobile on a desktop board and watch it outperform the RTX 2060 at lower resolutions, with its higher shader count but worse memory subsystem.
Nv don't even have to get rid of 3090's, introducing 4090 any moment at any price now.
oddly 30 and 40 series can coexist, just like 16's and 30's. using two different nodes. Supers may still be viable
