I've been waiting for this: Nvidia RTX 5080, 5070 Ti and 5070 SUPER could finally fix the biggest flaw — not enough VRAM
But it seems as if Team Green has a plan for this, as according to Kopite7kimi on X (who has been largely reliable with rumors), an RTX 5080 SUPER, 5070 Ti SUPER and 5070 SUPER are in the works. Let's talk about them.

Elements like ray tracing cores, wattage and clock speed may be important in the mix of a GPU. But VRAM is one of the more crucial elements of a good graphics card.
Cyberpunk 2077 with Path Tracing in overdrive mode can push 16GB' Alan Wake 2 can go north of 12GB; and don't even get me started on Indiana Jones.
On top of that, higher resolutions will up that demand, too, and with 4K gaming quickly becoming the thing, you need much more headroom. And that 12GB limit on the 5070 was one of my big gripes in my Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 review.
To up all these cards by 8GB is going to assure more capabilities to withstand the consistently growing VRAM demands of AAA titles.
But the big questions are always going to be price and release date.

Historically, the SUPER updates have either been given the same MSRP as their originals, or have actually been around $150 cheaper. However, it seems like MSRP is just pure fiction.
Unless stock issues change and the general tariff-fueled landscape alters dramatically, I have to use common sense and predict that trend will continue. I'd love to be pleasantly surprised though!
As for when they launch, looking back, SUPERs usually launch around 9-12 months after the normal models. This could mean a possible CES 2026 launch in January, but given we're already seeing possible specs from a reliable leaker, it could happen slightly sooner.
We don't know for sure, but keep an eye on Tom's Guide for the latest on these new GPUs as it happens!

Can AeroVironment Stock Hit $301 in 2025?
As global tensions rise and battlefields go unmanned, defense tech is the new arms race. Drones are now mission-critical — not just in warfare, but in industries chasing speed, precision, and efficiency. The commercial drone market spans logistics, agriculture, oil, gas, and infrastructure, and is expected to reach a value of $355.55 billion by 2032. Now, with new executive orders signed by President Donald Trump to boost U.S. drone production and airspace security, the stage is set for a domestic surge. AeroVironment (AVAV) is riding the wave with precision. Known for its lethal-yet-lightweight drones like the Switchblade and Puma systems, the defense tech company has become an essential kit for modern militaries navigating volatile flashpoints. These battlefield-tested platforms have already proved their mettle in Ukraine, where low-cost drone warfare is reshaping military strategy. 'It's a Miracle': Nvidia CEO Says Their New Technology Takes 'AI Supercomputing to a Whole New Level' AI Isn't Just About Nvidia: 2 Rising Stars in the Artificial Intelligence Race UnitedHealth Stock Is One of the Worst-Performing S&P 500 Stocks in 2025. Should You Buy the Dip? Our exclusive Barchart Brief newsletter is your FREE midday guide to what's moving stocks, sectors, and investor sentiment - delivered right when you need the info most. Subscribe today! That real-world validation has analysts bullish. Goldman Sachs analyst Anthony Valentini just initiated coverage on AVAV stock with a Street-high $301 price target. After a blazing rally amid stellar Q4 earnings and guidance, can AVAV soar even higher and hit Goldman Sachs' bullseye? Founded in 1971 with roots in human-powered and solar aircraft, AeroVironment has transformed into a powerhouse in unmanned aerial systems and next-gen defense tech. The company is now best-known for its battlefield-ready drones, which have become staples in modern military operations. As the world shifts toward automated warfare and drone-led intelligence, AeroVironment flies at the heart of it all. Wall Street has taken notice. With a market capitalization nearing $7 billion, AVAV stock has surged 60% year-to-date (YTD). Its recent run is even more stunning, up more than 128% in the past three months and 32% in just the past month as investors race to price in its strategic relevance in a rapidly evolving global defense landscape. AeroVironment delivered stellar fiscal Q4 results on June 24, reinforcing why the bulls are locked in. The company posted a 40% year-over-year (YOY) revenue surge to $275.1 million, crushing expectations. Earnings almost quadrupled to $1.61 per share from last year's $0.43 per-share profit, far ahead of the $1.44 consensus. The rally was not carried by one wing, either. Loitering Munitions segment revenue soared 87% during the quarter, MacCready Works revenue rose 24%, and Uncrewed Systems revenue advanced 9%. Momentum didn't stop at the quarter's close. Fiscal 2025 closed with record bookings of $1.2 billion and an order backlog of $726.6 million, up a massive 81.6% YOY, signaling deep demand and high visibility. Despite a modest $1.3 million operating cash outflow, the company's financials remain combat-ready, with $40.9 million in cash and long-term debt capped at just $30 million. From battlefield dominance to balance sheet discipline, the defense tech company is proving it can lead both in the air and on the books. But it was the forward view that turned heads. AeroVironment's fiscal 2026 guidance calls for revenue between $1.9 billion and $2 billion, with EPS between $2.80 and $3.00, driven in part by its BlueHalo acquisition. With geopolitical tensions rising and the U.S. entering a new phase of defense modernization, AeroVironment is not only participating in the shift but helping lead the charge. Meanwhile, analysts tracking the company anticipate fiscal 2026 EPS to dip 10.7% YOY to $2.93, before surging 44% to $4.23 in fiscal 2027. Brokerage firms responded quickly after the Q4 report. William Blair kept its 'Outperform' rating on AVAV stock, citing reduced Ukraine risk and strong growth visibility. Raymond James bumped its price target to $225, citing a robust fiscal 2025 finish and the BlueHalo acquisition's strategic edge. Stifel echoed the optimism, reaffirming a 'Buy" rating. BTIG made a splash among analysts, raising its target to $300, betting on drone warfare's rising relevance. But it was Goldman Sachs that delivered the boldest vote of confidence, initiating coverage with a 'Buy' rating and $301 target. Goldman Sachs is not just chasing short-term momentum — it's betting big on AVAV's staying power. Goldman Sachs views the war in Ukraine as a turning point, with AeroVironment's Switchblade and Puma systems becoming real-world proof that low-cost, high-impact tech can shift military doctrine. With the U.S. Department of Defense ramping up contracts and allies boosting their budgets, Goldman expects AeroVironment to ride operating leverage into 'higher profitability and cash generation." Analysts have deemed AVAV stock to be a 'Strong Buy' overall. Out of eight analysts covering the stock, seven recommend a 'Strong Buy' while one offers a 'Moderate Buy' rating. The mean target price has already been surpassed, a testament to AVAV stock's recent rally. However, Goldman Sachs' Street-high target of $301 suggests that shares can rise 22% from current levels.

Nvidia is on track to become the most valuable company in history
The AI chipmaker Nvidia's shares hit a new all-time high on Thursday, briefly giving the company a market capitalisation of $3.92 trillion (€3.33tn), the highest in history for any company. This surpassed Apple's record of $3.91tr set in December 2024, even though Nvidia's market capitalisation dipped once again below this level at market close. The chipmaker's shares traded as high as $160.98 at their peak on Thursday, before the price dipped below this level, placing the market capitalisation at around $3.89tr when daily trading wrapped up. Tech companies' shares benefitted from a better-than-expected nonfarm payrolls report in the US, an indicator of a resilient US economy. This optimism was boosted by forecasts that businesses would continue to spend on AI advances, boosting demand for AI chips. Related Nvidia shares surge as earnings beat despite chip export restrictions to China Nvidia expects $5.5bn revenue hit as US curbs chip exports to China Nvidia shares are up more than 50% in just less than two months. Analysts expect that the company will break the valuation record soon and retain its elevated share price by the close of the trading day. 'Chip giant Nvidia is on track to achieve a new closing high,' said Dan Coatsworth, investment analyst at AJ Bell, adding that the 'AI revolution is still intact'. AJ Bell head of financial analysis Danni Hewson added that, 'After all the gloomy predictions that this might be the year the AI bubble bursts, Nvidia's found another gear. The chipmaker is on track to smash a coveted record and become the world's most valuable company ever.' The value of Nvidia currently is more than three times the total market capitalisation of the stock market in Spain and more than four times that of the Italian stock exchange.

US Plans AI Chip Curbs on Malaysia, Thailand Over China Concerns
President Donald Trump's administration plans to restrict shipments of AI chips from the likes of Nvidia Corp. to Malaysia and Thailand, part of an effort to crack down on suspected semiconductor smuggling into China. A draft rule from the Commerce Department seeks to prevent China — to which the US has effectively banned sales of Nvidia's advanced AI processors — from obtaining those components through intermediaries in the two Southeast Asian nations, according to people familiar with the matter. The rule is not yet finalized and could still change, said the people, who requested anonymity to discuss private conversations.
