Nvidia's RTX 5090 has vanished from first-party retail listings at Newegg and Amazon, leaving only third-party marketplace sellers offering the card at prices ranging from roughly $6,400 to $8,700, with some listings even higher.

Micro Center remains the lone major retailer still selling the card near its typical price.
Nvidia has introduced the RTX Pro 5500 Blackwell Workstation Edition, a professional graphics card built on the same GB202 die as the GeForce RTX 5090 and offering similar CUDA core counts and performance.

Huang did not challenge Trump's remarks, instead praising the administration's approach to AI competitiveness.
Large corporate customers of OpenAI and Anthropic are pushing back over how their data is handled, with some restricting which AI models employees can use and demanding contractual guarantees against training on their proprietary data. The friction follows a June policy change by Anthropic allowing it to retain customer data from its Claude models to prevent misuse, which some clients fear could expose sensitive business information. Companies like C Spire have secured agreements barring model training on their data, though both AI firms still collect technical usage metadata.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an open letter urging a slowdown in AI development over safety concerns, a stance OpenAI's Sam Altman and other industry leaders publicly backed over the weekend.
