An RTX 5090 SE to bridge the gap between the RTX 5080 and the RTX 5090?

The RTX 5090 is currently NVIDIA's most powerful and expensive consumer GPU, creating a significant price and performance gap relative to the RTX 5080. Rumors suggest the introduction of an RTX 5090 SE featuring 32GB of GDDR7 and a 384-bit memory bus to bridge this divide. However, some reports dismiss these claims, asserting that such a cheaper version of the flagship graphics card will not be released by the manufacturer.
