NVIDIA Ampere GA102-300-A1 GPU (GeForce RTX 3090) Caught on Camera

NVIDIA Ampere GA102-300-A1 GPU (GeForce RTX 3090) Caught on Camera

Check it out, the first photo of an NVIDIA "Ampere" GA102 graphics processor chip aka the GPU that is to fire up the GeForce RTX 3090. Over in Asia in the Chiphell forums this got posted, and it's the real deal.

You'll notice qual sample. Meaning it was a validation/engineering sample chip. Looking at the size of that puppy, it'll hold many MANY transistors as that die is based on 7nm fabrication. The GA102-300-A1 would be firing the GeForce RTX 3090 and is expected to get a Shader count of 5,248 units. All that tied towards 24GB of GDDR6X graphics memory running in a ~19 Gbps realm. It is expected that this is the product that NVIDIA will announce its Ampere cards on the 1st of September, perhaps they'll announce 10GB GeForce RTX 3080 cards that day as well. Chatter on the street is that the latter will initially be launched at 10GB GDDR6X with later on a 20GB model. It is all chatter though as to date NVIDIA has not been talking Ampere with media whatsoever.

 

 

Earlier on a Twitter use named @GarnetSunset posted the photos below the fold. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 as a graphics card is going to be big alright, as the way I see it, that's three slots.  The name of the card has been blurred out. GeForce RTX 3090 us rumored to have a GA102-300-A1 GPU armed with 5,248 shader processors spread over 82 SMs. And likely that is still not a fully enabled chip :-)

The card would get a massive 24 GB of memory connected throughout a 384-bit wide memory bus based on high-bandwidth GDDR6X. This leaker also mentioned a price of 1400 USD, much like the leak we have seen earlier this week.

@Hilbert Hagedoorn: Where did you find it's made on 7nm? the reports are that it's Samsung's 8nm (10nm+). Suddenly you report it's 7nm without a valid source. I would like the see the source for this.

Some TU102/TU104 chips have "Korea" stamped on them but they are all made in TSMC, Taiwan. I think that stamp is related to packaging/assembly, not foundry.

Yeah, it's usually stamped where the package is assembled and not where the die is fabricated.
