Finally! RTX 5090 leak points to 'stupidly high' stock coming next month
RTX 5090 stock left shelves as soon as it arrived during its launch, with supplies being scooped up by scalpers and prices surging out of control, despite Nvidia stating it will be "shipping more stock." Now, we may not have to wait much longer for more supplies.
Known leaker MEGAsizeGPU on X (via Tom's Hardware) claims more RTX 5090 stock is coming in one month with "stupidly high" supplies. Partners, such as MSI, Gigabyte, Zotac and more, are set to get more of Nvidia's latest graphics cards, too.
As reported, this is expected to be due to Nvidia's GB200 chips, a supercomputing module made for data centers, not meeting demand expectations. With TSMC's leftovers, GB202 GPU chips will reportedly be repurposed into consumer-grade RTX 50-series chips — most notably, the RTX 5090.
If accurate, this is great news for those having no luck finding out where to buy an RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, and worse news for scalpers selling Nvidia's high-end graphics cards for outrageous prices. Recently, we heard retailers could be waiting as long as four months for RTX 5090 GPUs, but now resupplies could be on their way far sooner.
Nvidia's latest graphics cards had a rough launch, with virtually no high-powered RTX 50-series GPUs in stock. Still, Nvidia's GB200-series chips were expected to be in high demand, seeing as 90% of the company's revenue comes from these AI-driven chips for data centers. It appears demand must have slipped, hence the GB202 chips reportedly being used for consumer GPUs instead.
Whatever the case, here's hoping we'll see more RTX 5090 GPUs arrive as soon as next month. However, will prices still be as high?
We've seen RTX 5090 prices soar since launch, and it's not just from scalpers. Right now, as Asus RTX 5090 GPU retails at $3,409, which is a $300 increase in the space of a week compared to when it launch. Even MSI's official store saw a price jump in RTX 5080 graphics cards, with prices now over $100 more.
This is despite Nvidia's official pricing, with an RTX 5090 starting at $1,999 (£1,939) and the RTX 5080 priced from $999 (£979). Custom graphics cards from Nvidia's partners are expected to be high, but setting these prices even higher isn't, of course, ideal for consumers.
These price hikes are expected to be due to high demand and low stock, but if this leak indicates that there will be "tons" of graphics cards coming soon, will prices stick to what they are now or spike even further? Hopefully the former, at the very least.
There are more RTX 50-series GPUs on the way, with Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPUs set to arrive on February 20. These graphics cards are also expected to be high in demand, with prices set to start from $749 (£729). Hopefully, these GPUs won't see the same kind of price jump as its higher-end siblings.
While we wait for more RTX 5090 stock to arrive, we also have RTX 50-series gaming laptops arriving, with pre-orders up for grabs from February 25. And, if you're looking to build an RTX 5090 gaming PC, we've got you covered.

New 15% Tariff Stuns Nvidia and AMD as Analysts Wonder Who's Next
Nvidia (NVDA) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) just agreed to hand over 15% of their China chip sales to the U.S. government to secure export licenses. It's kind of an unprecedented move, because it's like the government suddenly demanding a cut of your side hustle. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. In any case, this deal shakes up the semiconductor landscape, raising questions about investment risks and opportunities for both of these giants, as well as Intel (INTC), which could be next in line. Let's dive into what this means for each and who else might feel the heat. Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) | The AI Giant's Costly Compromise Nvidia is riding high as the AI chip overlord these days, as its H20 chip, designed for China's market, is set to fetch billions. Last fiscal year, China accounted for $17 billion or about 13% of Nvidia's total sales. Now this 15% revenue-sharing deal will indeed slice into margins, potentially cutting 5-15 percentage points off gross profits for H20 sales. But before you wince, it might actually be a fair price for Nvidia to pay to keep China's massive market open after a sales halt cost them $8 billion in Q2 alone. Jensen Huang's meeting with Trump last week sealed this deal, showing Nvidia's willingness to play ball to avoid stricter export bans. What's interesting here is that this deal sets a precedent. If Nvidia's coughing up cash for export licenses, what stops the government from upping the ante? Analysts like Bernstein's Stacy Rasgon call it a 'slippery slope,' warning that strategic concessions could erode Nvidia's edge if China leans harder on domestic players like Huawei. But for now, Nvidia's AI dominance keeps it a strong buy among growth-oriented portfolios. Is NVDA Stock a Buy, Hold, or Sell? Currently, the overwhelming majority of analysts covering NVDA stock are bullish. The stock carries a Strong Buy consensus rating, based on 35 Buy, three Hold, and just one Sell ratings assigned over the past three months. Still, NVDA's average stock price target of $188.86 implies a ~3% upside over the next twelve months, meaning Wall Street believes NVDA is already priced to perfection. AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) | The Underdog's Delicate Dance AMD isn't the 800-pound gorilla in the room, but Nvidia is. For AMD, China remains a big deal, making up $6.2 billion, or a quarter of its 2024 revenue. The MI308 chip, which was specifically tailored for China, now carries the same 15% revenue tax to secure export licenses. This deal, greenlit after months of export restrictions, will enable AMD to dodge a projected $1.5 billion revenue hit this year. Dr. Lisa Su's team is betting on AI growth, with investors seeming to be hyping their Helios rack system for demanding workloads. Of course, the levy could shave a point off AMD's overall margins, which might be a tougher pill for a company with less pricing power than Nvidia. Still, what's intriguing is AMD's momentum. For instance, there's Meta's nod to AMD's chiplet roadmap, signaling enterprise traction. Yet, this deal raises risks because if the U.S. tightens controls again or China pivots to local chips, AMD's exposure could end up being somewhat damaging. So while you might see deeper value in AMD's lower valuation compared to Nvidia, the revenue-sharing adds uncertainty to its outlook. Keep an eye on export license updates, as AMD's agility could either shine or stumble here. Is AMD Stock a Good Buy? On Wall Street, AMD stock carries a Moderate Buy consensus rating based on 25 Buy and 12 Hold ratings. No analyst rates AMD stock a Sell. AMD's average stock price target of $183.28 implies less than 1% downside potential over the next twelve months. Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) | The Next in Line Intel is not part of this revenue-sharing deal yet, but the spotlight could now turn on them. Yesterday, CEO Lip-Bu Tan met with President Trump at the White House, a high-stakes sit-down after Trump called him 'highly conflicted' over alleged China ties. The meeting, described as 'candid and constructive' by Intel, included Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, with Trump praising Tan's 'amazing story' afterward, per a Truth Social post. Intel's stock popped on the news, which implies that investors see a thaw in tensions, but the risk of a revenue-sharing mandate looms as the U.S. pushes chipmakers to align with national interests. Intel's China revenue isn't as AI-chip-driven as Nvidia's or AMD's, but it relies heavily on the region for manufacturing and sales. Any mandate to share revenue could hit Intel's already strained margins and erode its investment case further, especially after a $1.6 billion Q2 2025 loss. Management is now focused on a turnaround, cutting jobs and scaling back factory plans, but future political scrutiny could certainly derail progress. Is INTC a Good Stock to Buy? Intel is currently covered by 30 Wall Street analysts, most of whom hold a bullish outlook. The stock has a Hold consensus rating with one analyst assigning a Buy, 26 a Hold, and three a Sell rating over the past three months. INTC's average price target of $21.97 suggests ~2% upside potential over the next twelve months. What Will Tariffs Do to Other Stocks? Note that this deal's ripple effects could touch other chipmakers like Qualcomm (QCOM) or Broadcom (AVGO), who also sell to China. If the U.S. sees this as a cash cow, expect more firms to face similar terms. China's chip market is projected to hit $300 billion by 2030, so the stakes are massive. Smaller players like Marvell Technology (MRVL), with less China exposure, might skate by, but anyone in AI or 5G could be next. I believe that today's insane GPU demand hints at broader sector impacts, so watch for policy shifts as Trump's transactional style could reshape tech's global playbook. A New Era of Chip Politics This revenue-sharing deal is a curveball for Nvidia, AMD, and potentially Intel, blending national security with economic arm-twisting. I believe Nvidia's deep pockets can absorb the hit, but AMD's higher reliance on China makes it more vulnerable. Intel's recent Trump meeting eased some fears, but let's not forget its turnaround remains fragile amid potential policy pressures. You should weigh growth potential against geopolitical risks. Still, for now, I view Nvidia as a juggernaut, AMD as offering value with caveats, and Intel as a wildcard that needs some stability to find its footing. As the U.S. flexes its muscle, this could redefine tech investing, where the knives of geopolitics now cut as deeply as innovation.

Gemini is starting to look very different on your Android phone
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Quick summary The Gemini window might be getting a redesign on Android, moving to a rounded pill instead of the squared box. It's likely that the change is part of the move towards the new Material 3 Expressive design language. Google is all about Gemini right now. The company's portal into the world of AI, Gemini is working its way into all facets of the Googleverse. The latest twist in the Gemini tale sees a redesign on Android. Gemini on Android has replaced Google Assistant, being the port of call for all those questions and queries that you have. Tapping into all the information that has been assimilated online, Gemini is basically replacing "Googling", as you barely have to search for anything, because Gemini has the answer for you. But how you access Gemini seems to be where Google is putting its efforts. Gemini started out as a grey box with a scalloped circle (as seen above), but then moved to a rectangle with rounded corners, rimmed with a four-colour glow, just so you know that it's Google providing you with that service. While the latest change doesn't seem huge, a slightly different Gemini call-up has been spotted by 9to5Google. That squared box looks like it might be replaced by a pill-shaped device, rounding the corners, but still offering the same options. It's a tweak to the visual appearance of Gemini on the home screen, launching out of the bottom of the screen and expanding from a circle, while the current version just seems to rise from the bottom of the screen. The new animation is certainly more sophisticated and I suspect that this redesign is partly to fit with Google's incoming Material 3 Expressive design. How do I access Gemini on Android phones? Accessing Gemini on Android is possible via a number of different means. There's the option for a diagonal swipe from the bottom corner to have Gemini wake up and appear at the bottom of the screen. Alternatively, you can use the old "Hey Google" hotword to trigger a response. Finally, some devices assign Gemini to a hardware button. Often, press and hold on the power button on an Android phone will launch Gemini, although I tend to switch that back to being the power control because it's so much easier when you want to restart your phone. Whichever method you use to access Gemini, it's listening when it opens, so you can just talk, or you can type into the box if you want a silent response. This is separate to the Gemini Live experience which takes over the whole screen. However, while I'm using regular Gemini all the time, Gemini Live really doesn't fulfil a purpose for me, so I use it a lot less often. There are new features coming to Gemini Live, however, so that might change in the future. There's no word on when this Gemini design change might come to devices.
