Nvidia has reportedly asked Samsung to double its production of GDDR7, possibly for AI GPUs to China—although we're hoping for some more VRAM-stacked RTX 50-series Super cards

Nvidia RTX Pro 6000.

Reports indicate that Nvidia has given Samsung the hurry up to double its production of GDDR7, the very same stuff you'll find strapped to RTX 50-series GPUs. And while it's tempting to get excited about the idea of many, many RTX 50-series Super variants hitting the market sometime soon with oodles and oodles of delicious VRAM, hence the production call, we probably shouldn't count our chickens just yet.

That's because of the ever-present spectre of AI hanging over our gaming hardware hopes and dreams. After all, AI hardware is where Nvidia makes the vast majority of its money these days, and given the recent loosening of chip export restrictions, I'd say it's a safer bet that most of this memory is destined for China-friendly RTX Pro 6000 variants and the like. Boo.
