Consumers struggle to obtain RTX 5090 GPUs, which are reportedly held by tradespeople like chefs, electricians, and blacksmiths. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang is pressing Japanese suppliers to produce more fabric to enable an earlier launch.
Key Points
- 1.RTX 5090 unavailable to general public
- 2.Held by non-traditional buyers like tradesmen
- 3.Production delayed by Japanese fabric supply
- 4.Huang pushes for faster manufacturing ramp-up
Impact Analysis
GPU shortages could hinder AI model training and inference builds, forcing practitioners to seek enterprise-grade alternatives or delay projects amid consumer scalping.
Technical Details
Fabric likely refers to glass cloth for PCB substrates; supply chain pinch from Japan delays Blackwell-based RTX 5090 rollout.
