NVIDIA RTX 40-Series 'Ada' AD102 GPU Enters Phase of Testing

NVIDIA  RTX 40-Series 'Ada' AD102 GPU Enters Phase of Testing

Nvidia's next-generation GPU family, codenamed Ada Lovelace, is anticipated to ship this autumn, and it's about time for the firm and its partners to begin testing the new graphics processors. 

According to the well-known and often accurate leaker Kopite7Kimi, this is precisely what they are doing.

"Let's turn our attention to GPU," tweeted kopite7kimi. "AD102 has started testing." 

Typically, it takes little more than a year for a GPU to be brought up to speed, in this case AD102 processors. Of course, the chip and its drivers should be ready for internal and external testing by now, and while we cannot verify the tweet's accuracy, the information sounds reasonable. Previous unauthorized leaks regarding Nvidia's Ada Lovelace GPUs indicate that the company is optimizing the new family's performance, which will result in an increase in GPU power consumption and, consequently, the use of 12+4-pin auxiliary PCIe power connections.

Ada Lovelace a next-generation GPU architecture for gaming graphics processors (so expect the GeForce RTX 4000-series to be among the best graphics cards available), in contrast to the company's Hopper architecture, which is optimized for high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) applications.

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4000-series 'Ada Lovelace' GPUs are planned to be manufactured utilizing TSMC's N5 (5 nm-class) manufacturing technology. As a result, it is reasonable to expect them to outperform existing GeForce RTX 3000-series 'Ampere' GPUs, both architecturally and through the use of significantly more advanced fabrication technology, which enables Nvidia to pack in more transistors and increase clock speeds while maintaining low power consumption. Nvidia has not confirmed in writing that its next-generation GeForce RTX 4000-series 'Ada Lovelace' GPUs will be available this year. However, given that the firm typically introduces entirely new GPU families every two years, it is about time for the company to unveil its next-generation GeForces in 2022.

As an 'ex' PC user and now owner of a gamer laptop (Lenovo Legion 5@RTX 3070) I cannot imagine how next gen mobile GPU will perform.
If those rumours are correct the power consumption will go throught the roof this time with next gen, but laptops are different stories, the max TDP should not exceed more than 150W, otherwise the heat transfer will became an issue and throttling.
I just hope there will be some nice GPUs for mobile gamers too.

Underclock 10% and they'll probably pull half the power. I think the green is for greed and not actually being ecological.

Underclock 10% and you loose performance crown to competition.

The best sign that the new series is coming is the fact that the 30xx cards are now available on the shelves.
Max power consumption is done while gaming or other data crunching processes.
Unless gaming hours a day (which I once did), the majority of the time, cards are drawing a fraction of max power.

What happened to those times where the goal was to reduce power consumption while increasing performance... What an irony, a few years ago those microchip companies were the ones to focus on reducing/optimizing energy consumption, while the politics completely ignored it. Now politics turned to focus on that matter, while microchip companies don't anymore (At least Nvidia seemingly doesn't care).
