TinyCorp Calls for 96-GB AMD GPU While Nvidia Unveils 9-GB RTX 5050
AI startup TinyCorp is calling on AMD to develop a 96-GB RDNA-5 GPU for around $2,500 to power a data center with 3,000 GPUs, while NVIDIA has unveiled the GeForce RTX 5050 with 9 GB of GDDR7 memory and a 130 W TDP, featuring a higher memory bandwidth of 336 GB/s. The card is positioned as the smallest variant of the RTX 50 series and is based on the larger GB206 GPU, with performance expected to match its predecessor despite reduced memory bandwidth. Meanwhile, the 2026 GPU benchmark ranking by PCGH compares 39 graphics cards from Nvidia, AMD, and Intel across four resolutions. TinyCorp's proposal faces skepticism due to the high cost of memory chips and current technological limitations.
