Rumor mill: Daily that passes is one other one nearer to the launch of Nvidia’s RTX 4000 (Ada Lovelace) sequence. As is at all times the case with upcoming hyped merchandise, rumors about what the playing cards may supply are touchdown thick and quick. The most recent entails what might be the sequence flagship: a card with 18,176 CUDA cores, 48GB of GDDR6X reminiscence, and a TDP of 800W.
Common leaker kopite7kimi posted a tweet about what he appropriately nicknamed “the beast.” The cardboard is supposedly based mostly on a brand new PG139-SKU0 board design, fairly than the PG137 anticipated to be utilized by the RTX 4090, and might be the primary to function a triple-fan reference cooler from Nvidia.

kopite7kimi believes the cardboard will pack an AD102-450-A1 GPU that includes 142 streaming multiprocessors (SMs) on 18,176 CUDA cores. That is nonetheless a cut-down model of the full-fat AD102 GPU, which packs 144 SMs on 18,432 CUDA cores.
The beast can be mentioned to come back with a monstrous 48GB of 24 Gbps GDDR6X VRAM with a 384-bit bus interface, enabling a most bandwidth of 1.15 TB/s. That represents a rise of about 14% over the RTX 3090 Ti.
The cardboard’s ultimate spec is one which strains up with earlier rumors of Lovelace being obscenely energy hungry: an 800W TGP, which suggests we will anticipate it to function twin 16-pin connectors.
The specs of the cardboard, particularly that 48GB of GDDR6X VRAM, recommend that the beast might be the primary Titan-branded Nvidia product we have seen since 2018. Titans are aimed extra at builders, researchers, and creators, fairly than avid gamers. Nvidia by no means launched any through the present Ampere period, noting that its BFGPU (massive ferocious GPU) RTX 3090 and RTX 3090 Ti are a lot sooner than the previous-gen Titans.
As with all rumors, this one must be taken with a heavy dose of salt, however we appear to be listening to related claims in regards to the RTX 4000 sequence each week, together with a latest leak suggesting the RTX 4090 can be twice as quick because the RTX 3090. However with customers reigning of their spending, power costs at an all-time excessive, and extra individuals choosing cheaper Ampere playing cards, it will be fascinating to see simply how well-received Lovelace proves, and if Nvidia releases multiple card this yr.
