Fresh Nvidia RTX 40 Series specs leak and suggest a big performance jump for gaming
If you’ve been around for the last year and a half for PC gaming, you know how difficult it still is to track down a graphics card. Things have improved a bit lately, but the fact remains that many wishful gamers have yet to get the graphics card they might otherwise have purchased under normal conditions. However, those who are willing to hold out until the next generation may have a lot to gain for time waited. Nvidia RTX 40 Series rumors continue to leak out, and the specs along with performance estimates are just as exciting as the lead-up to Ampere.
We’ve been tracking various leaks for well over half a year already. Sources are beginning to reach a consensus about what the Nvidia RTX 40 Series will feature in terms of hardware specs, the manufacturing node, and power consumption. The implications? Top-tier performance increases reaching as high as double that of top RTX 30 Series graphics cards.
The latest speculation comes from anonymous industry leaker @harukaze5719, who posted an overview on the projected Nvidia RTX 40 Series GPU lineup specs. According to the chart, there are some major upgrades in store for the next series of chips to power our 3D graphics. Reiterating from last year, the top AD102 die will allegedly feature 18,432 CUDA cores, up from 10,752 on GA102 (used on the RTX 3090 and 3080 Ti). AD102 will also have 144 stream multiprocessors compared to the 84 on GA102. Also of significance is estimated x16 increase to L2 cache, which is very surprising to learn. To pack in all of this hardware, Nvidia is expected to use TSMC’s 5nm node that features improved density and efficiency versus Samsung’s 8nm node that’s used for Ampere RTX 30 Series cards.
So then, let's summarize about Lovelace and
