According to hardware leaker Kepler_L2, the next generation of gaming GPUs may be skipped next year, with a full-stack refresh expected in 2028. NVIDIA's Ge Force RTX 60-Series "Rubin" and AMD's RDNA 5-based Radeon RX 10000 series are reportedly delayed until 2028, though select AMD RDNA 5 GPUs carrying the codename "AT2" might arrive throughout 2027. The specific model remains undetermined, potentially launching as a flagship or mid-range SKU.

This delay follows recent DRAM scarcity impacting the NVIDIA Ge Force RTX 50-Series SUPER refresh, which some believe is canceled or serves as a stopgap before Rubin's arrival. For AMD, the wait aims to see RDNA 5 compete in the flagship sector with more powerful designs. Despite Kepler_L2's proven track record, roadmaps can change as memory supply remains difficult; hyperscalers and AI labs are purchasing nearly all DRAM allocation, driving up consumer GPU pricing over recent quarters.

Thus, the timeline remains uncertain pending further information.
