Yesterday, a user at Chiphell shared an image purported to be of the RTX 5090's bare PCB laying out 16 solder pads for VRAM and a large area for the GPU package. Today, that same PCB has been outfitted with a GB202-300-A1 GPU die, 32GB of GDDR7 memory, and all surrounding capacitors, inductors, and MOSFETs (Baidu via Harukaze). The GPU is marked as a Qualification Sample so it was likely used for validation testing. Commercial samples should ship with retail-level silicon though we doubt there will be much difference between them.
The white text on the GPU seems rather unusual, though it does harmonize with a few RTX 4090 qualification samples we previously saw in the wild. Nonetheless, take this leak with a grain of salt as we're still roughly 10 days away from the official reveal.
