They need chiplets or they won't be able to offer proper products for consumer. Its that simple. They'll probably postpone that to 6000 series, but its coming one way or another. I'm sure they can step up with another 10% bump per tier and some 128bit GDDR7 piece of junk at 750 bucks for Blackwell, heck we might even see a 192 bit 12GB flagship if they keep pushing the Ada narrative of 'pay more for less'. And then you get a 24GB Super when they're about to launch the next gen. Still crippled, but for muh creators.*IF* rumors are correct, we will see a substantial increase in performance for a give die area. Every process change after 7nm (N7) has become significantly more expensive per wafer. So, we will see an increase in price unless Nvidia uses the increase in performance to decrease the size of the die for a given level in the '50XX' series. So, we don't know. Unfortunately, Jensen used GDC to announce the AI/ML GPUs. I've seen nothing about the consumer variants yet - maybe we'll get a glimpse at the next convention this year (gamescon in Germany??).
I can't wait to not buy it.
