I will be astonished if I'll be able to get a 5090 due to availability. The 5080's comparative lack of memory is a buzzkill -- 16 GB seems like it's going to be a limiting factor for 4k gaming.

Does anyone know what these might cost in the US after the rumored tariffs?

It's a shame to see they max out at just 32GB, for that price in 2025 you'd be hoping for a lot more, especially with Apple Silicon - while not nearly as fast - being very usable with 128GB+ for LLMs for $6-7k USD (comes with a free laptop too ;))

Presumably the workstation version will have 64GB of VRAM.

By the way, this is even better as far as memory size is concerned:

However, memory bandwidth is what matters for token generation. The memory bandwidth of this is only 204.8GB/sec if I understand correctly. Apple's top level hardware reportedly does 800GB/sec.
