GPU stagnation: NVIDIA's Blackwell called last GeForce, IPC gains at zero
soham_btw · x · 2026-11-13
A Korean-language post laments GPU stagnation: NVIDIA's Blackwell is claimed to be the 'last GeForce', not on a new node (4N branding but effectively 5nm) with zero IPC gains; Intel killed its dGPU line; AMD remains the only dGPU option but RDNA5 caps at AT2 and iGPUs stay on RDNA3-derived arch with zero IPC gains through 2029. The poster jokes game studios will finally have a reason to optimize since everyone will be playing on potatoes.
