No the closest thing is 16,000, those 10k cards don't use the same chip as the 5090, they use a weaker one.

Oh you're right-ish. I remembered correctly that the $10k card uses the same GB202 chip as the 5090, but that card has tons of cores disabled, so it's closer to the 5080's GB203 in practice. You do have to go up to the $16k card to get something that's actually kind of equivalent to the 5090.

Bingo. That's why the 5090 is so special.
