The reported Nvidia hack has allegedly thrown up the codenames of a bunch of next-gen GPUs, which have now been leaked out to the press. The most pertinent ones for us would be the Lovelace GeForce GPUs, of which there are six listed, but here are also listings for the server-based Hopper and Blackwell GPUs. This looks to have come from an initial leak of some of the stolen documents, supplied to Videocardz.
The green team is allegedly being held to ransom over the Ethereum hash rate limiter attached to its most recent graphics card release after hacking group, Lapsus$, made off with around 1TB of sensitive data.
The group is demanding Nvidia shuts off the limiter, with the dubious claim that it's «decided to help mining and gaming community,» or it will release the contents of the «big folder» it has apparently stolen. For its part all Nvidia has said to us is that it's «investigating an incident» but doesn't have anything more to share at this point in time.
I guess the assumption is that it needs to verify what was taken and just how damaging a full leak might be first. This initial divulging of data has only really thrown up some codenames and GPU nomenclature that we either already knew or could have guessed. Which also means there's no guarantee that the images shared online are in fact straight from the vault of Jen-Hsun.
But the leak suggests there will be six GPUs based on the AD100 architecture, so named after Ada Lovelace. They form up quite nicely behind the graphics chips that have filed out of the Ampere generation, with promised AD102, AD103, AD104, AD106, AD107, and AD10B silicon set to form the next generation of GeForce GPUs.
None of that really tells us anything of note about the new graphics cards,
