Nvidia RTX 5090 shipment worth $470K vanishes from Brazilian airport

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A shipment of Nvidia RTX 5090 graphics cards, valued at approximately $470,000, has gone missing from Brazil's São Paulo-Guarulhos International Airport. The distributor, Oderço, reported that two pallets of Zotac RTX 5090 GPUs disappeared after arriving at the airport, and they have received no satisfactory answers from authorities. This incident occurs amidst a global shortage of the high-end RTX 5090, with rumors suggesting Nvidia may have halted production to focus on AI-specific cards, though the company denies this. AI

IMPACT The disappearance of high-value AI hardware could exacerbate existing shortages and potentially impact the availability of components for AI development and deployment.

RANK_REASON The cluster describes a theft of high-value hardware, which falls under 'tool' as it relates to the distribution and availability of tech products, rather than a core AI release or research.
