NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards are among the most anticipated hardware launches of 2022. There is a rather long absence from the launch of the devices. However, there has already been information that the development has been taken quite far. It is believed that if the factories continue at this production rate, they will release the RTX 40 series earlier.
According to a report, production preparations are underway for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 series. However, there is no information that the launch will take place earlier. In addition, it is not clear what step NVIDIA will take to increase the supply of components. Regardless of the situation, it is said that the RTX 40 series graphics cards will be sold in bulk.
NVIDIA will use Ada Lovelace architecture in RTX 40 series
RTX 40 series graphics cards are abandoning the Ampere-based RTX 30 series. At this point, she is now transitioning to Ada Lovelace architecture. It is expected to be built using the TSMC 5nm process node. Ampere generation cards were produced using Samsung’s 8nm process. Therefore, the transition to TSMC is expected to increase competition even more. It is thought that NVIDIA, Apple, AMD, Qualcomm and other companies have written a huge check, relying on TSMC for all their high-end production.
RTX 4090 graphics card expected to consume high power
It is within expectations that Ada Lovelace graphics cards have a monolithic design. A leakster claimed that the high-end AD102 graphics card will feature up to 18432 CUDA cores, 24GB and 21Gbps GDDR6X memory, and a clock speed of 2.3GHz to 2.5GHz. This is compared to its closest competitor, the RTX 3090. When we look at it, hypothetically, the RTX 4090 is thought to be a very powerful card. Therefore, it will also have very high power requirements.
As for power, the PCIe 5.0 power connector can supply up to 600W. At this point, the golden age of 300W flagship cards seems to be over.
