Nvidia loses $1 trillion in market value as it plans RTX 5090 SE gaming GPU

Nvidia’s shares have fallen about 16% since mid‑May, erasing roughly US$1 trillion from the company’s market capitalization. The decline is attributed to a shift in investor sentiment toward other semiconductor firms, such as memory makers, rather than any deterioration in Nvidia’s fundamentals. Despite the sell‑off, analysts note Nvidia remains the dominant supplier of AI‑focused GPUs.

Separately, a rumor from the outlet GameGPU suggests Nvidia is preparing a lower‑spec version of its flagship graphics card, the GeForce RTX 5090 SE. The proposed model would feature around 14,080 CUDA cores, a 384‑bit GDDR7 memory interface, 28 GB of VRAM, and a 500 W power draw, representing roughly a 35% reduction in performance compared with the standard RTX 5090. The SE variant is said to target a global launch with an estimated price of about US$1,500.
