>Current GPU designs are a mismatch for Nanite, Some new hardware operations are needed to do more of this in the GPU, where it belongs. Whether that will happen, with NVidia distracted by the AI market, is a good question.
Unreal 5 was only released in 2022, and we have been iterating the Nanite idea since then. With Unreal 5.5 and more AAA Gaming titles coming in and we can take what we learned and put into hardware. Not to mention the lead time is 3-4 years down the road. Even if Nvidia decided to make one in 2023 it would have been at least 2026 before we see any GPU acceleration.
