Today, a surprise report on a new graphics card from Maxsun has surfaced, suggesting that they have registered custom Arc Xe2 B580 24 GB graphics card models. Olrak29 has discovered more interesting entries in the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) filings, shedding light on the rumored lower tier of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 50-series "Blackwell" gaming GPU family. Similarly, ZOTAC accidentally hinted at the existence of GeForce RTX 5050 cards back in mid-February. Information on this "entry-mainstream" tier has been scarce, with only a partial leak of specifications over two months ago.
Maxsun's recent filing on May 12 includes a large number of "new" SKUs spanning different generations, all the way back to the GTX 1000 series. Observers have noticed several GeForce RTX 5050 identifiers, mostly under the iCraft branding. There are also hints of potential Terminator models with the "TR" tags. Maxsun's existing Transformer lines typically used "TF" designations, and some of these are also present in the EEC filing. It is unlikely that NVIDIA and its partners will reveal GeForce RTX 5050 hardware at the upcoming Computex trade event, as the focus will be on the GeForce RTX 5060 (non-ti) 8 GB cards starting at $299, targeting budget-conscious gamers.
