NVIDIA begins testing the Ada Lovelace AD102 GPU

This year will be particularly important for the graphics card market. In addition to a steady decline in average prices, NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 40 and AMD's Radeon RX 7000 series should (hopefully) debut on store shelves by the end of 2022.

Furthermore, the board should be based on the PCB137 / 139-SKU30 and will have 24GB of memory on board with a speed of 21Gb / s.


Ignore these fanboys, let's turn our attention to GPU.

Unfortunately, we don't know much more at the moment, but Ada Lovelace GPUs should be built on TSMC's 5nm node (as opposed to Samsung's 8nm node used for the Turing generation), allowing the company to build chips with more transistors without compromising clock rates and power consumption. If we add to this the inevitable architectural improvements, Ada Lovelace should introduce a significant performance leap.

All these speculations are based solely on rumors, as NVIDIA has not officially announced the launch of its new series of cards. GeForce video for this year. However, the company has accustomed us to renews of its line up every two years, consequently its next generation is expected in 2022.
