As we draw closer to January, leaks and speculation around Nvidia’s next-generation RTX 50-series GPUs are echoing all over the internet. The latest scoop comes from renowned leaker Kopite7kimi providing insights into Nvidia’s midrange Blackwell graphics cards, the RTX 5070 Ti and GeForce RTX 5070.

As per the leaks, the RTX 5070 Ti is set to feature the GB203-300-A1 GPU, equipped with 8,960 CUDA cores, offering a substantial increase in processing power compared to its predecessor. The card is rumored to include 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM on a 256-bit memory interface, providing enhanced memory bandwidth for demanding applications such as 4K gaming and video editing.

Its total graphics power (TGP) is estimated at 300 watts, indicating high power requirements aligned with its performance capabilities. It is also speculated that the upcoming GPU will be capable of matching the performance of last-gen’s RTX 4080.

Merry Christmas.

The RTX 5070 on the other hand will be a more cost-effective option and is expected to use the GB205-300-A1 GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores. While featuring fewer cores than the Ti model, it still represents a significant improvement over the RTX 4070 which features 5,888 CUDA cores.

The RTX 5070 is also rumored to include 12GB of GDDR7 VRAM on a 192-bit memory interface, which should be optimized for 1080p and 1440p gaming. Considering the TGP of approximately 250 watts, it should offer a more balanced approach between power consumption and performance.

The next generation of RTX 50-series GPUs will utilize Nvidia’s new Blackwell architecture, which is expected to focus on enhancing AI processing capabilities and real-time ray tracing. The architecture is also expected to improve features like DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) and AI-accelerated rendering, enabling better visuals and smoother performance in gaming and professional applications.

While the leaked specifications for the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 sound promising, it is important to note that these are just unconfirmed details and we’ll need to wait for the official announcement. There’s also the question of price, which is crucial to know how these GPUs will be positioned. In the current generation, the RTX 4070 Super is $599, while the RTX 4070 Ti Super is $799.

We expect the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 along with the more powerful GPUs in the lineup, to be officially announced during Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s keynote at CES 2025 on January 6.

Microsoft has begun rolling out Copilot Code for building apps with natural language

The workplace-focused vibe coding tool can pull context from emails, documents, meetings, and chats.

Microsoft introduced Code last month as one of the three core parts of its revamped Copilot app. The app was pitched as an easy-to-use coding agent that lets users describe what they want to build in natural language, like an app, a tracker, a dashboard, an automation, or a workflow, and Copilot would build it for them.

Essentially, it's a workplace-focused vibe-coding app that turns existing work into a functional app, and Microsoft has begun rolling it out through the Frontier program.

AI agents are acting like rogues and causing a huge headache for US banks

US banks block AI agents over fears they could make unauthorised financial moves

Banking

US banks are facing a new kind of digital headache: artificial intelligence agents attempting to access customer accounts and perform actions that may go beyond what users intended. As AI tools become more capable of navigating websites and carrying out tasks independently, financial institutions are scrambling to prevent them from crossing security boundaries.

According to a report published by Axios on October 22, major US banks have detected third-party AI agents operating inside customer accounts without authorisation. Some agents reportedly appeared to attempt actions independently of user instructions. The banks involved have not publicly detailed every incident, and there is no evidence that the reported activity resulted in widespread theft of customer funds.

Canva enters the AI image generation race with Craft, and it’s thinking beyond pretty pictures

The new model plans layouts before generating images, with precise editing and support for 30 aspect ratios.

AI can generate all kinds of pretty pictures, but getting it to spell a headline correctly or keep a poster's layout intact can be another story. Canva wants to fix that with Canva Craft, its first in-house image generation model. Rather than focusing primarily on photographs, Craft is designed around the posters, presentations, social media graphics, and other visual content people actually create. The goal is simple: spend less time fixing AI's mistakes and more time making something useful.
