Micron has ended production of its 2 GB GDDR7 memory chips for NVIDIA's RTX 50 series GPUs after only a few months of supply, leaving Samsung and SK Hynix as the primary GDDR7 suppliers. The move could impact GPU availability and pricing, though Micron's market share was relatively small. Micron continues producing 3 GB variants, with plans for larger capacity chips in future generations.
NVIDIA is reportedly planning to launch its RTX 60 GPUs codenamed Rubin in 2028, a delay driven by current memory shortages and rising component prices that would make an earlier release prohibitively expensive for consumers. The company is waiting for supply chain normalization and price stabilization expected by late 2027 or early 2028 before releasing the next-generation cards.
