Nvidia is scared: Leaker suggests RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 discontinuation signals impending AI collapse

Nvidia has reportedly discontinued the GeForce RTX 5090 and the RTX 5080. You basically can’t buy the RTX 5090 and the RTX 5080 for a reasonable price anymore, which directly points to dwindling supply. Serial leaker Moore’s Law Is Dead reports that Nvidia could replace the RTX 5090 and the RTX 5080 with the RTX 5080 24 GB early next year. There are apparently also not going to be any RTX 50 Super series GPUs.

This raises a pretty important question: Why is Nvidia canceling high-end GPUs without releasing proper replacements? MLID thinks the reason is that Nvidia realizes the AI party is coming to an end, and Jensen Huang wants to sell as many AI GPUs as possible.

MLID explains that there is an “AI debt bomb” that could explode due to the inability of hyperscalers/data center builders to utilize the Nvidia GPUs that they’ve already bought. Essentially, Nvidia seems to have forced hyperscalers and small companies like CoreWeave to take early delivery of AI GPUs. The problem, however, is that these companies don’t have the infrastructure ready to use these new AI GPUs, causing the GPUs to sit in warehouses.

This presents a massive, hugely absurd issue since companies like CoreWeave also use their AI infrastructure as collateral to secure more loans to buy more GPUs.

MLID believes that Nvidia is scared of the AI industry slowing down, which is why the company has canceled the RTX 5090 to divert the supply towards…
