Nvidia has but to formally announce its GeForce RTX 40-series graphics playing cards based mostly on the Ada Lovelace structure. Nonetheless, it seems to be just like the next-generation flagship — the GeForce RTX 4090 with 24GB of reminiscence — may be already in manufacturing if leaked paperwork from one of many Chinese language producers are genuine and proper.
Effectively-known {hardware} blogger @harukaze5719 (opens in new tab) has found excerpts from paperwork that allegedly originate from a graphics card manufacturing facility. The paperwork supposedly describe manufacturing schedules, volumes, and different peculiarities of graphics board manufacturing at an unknown manufacturing unit. Among the many merchandise listed, Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4090 card is talked about subsequent to the August 16 date and mentioned to be ‘anticipated in August.’
The excerpts of the paperwork declare that the cardboard leverages the codenamed AD102 graphics processing unit (although with out mannequin/configuration suffix), carries 24GB of reminiscence, and is provided with 4 show outputs — three DisplayPorts and one HDMI.
We don’t know whether or not the paperwork are real, however at occasions, sources from China leak precise paperwork. Furthermore, contemplating that we do not need entry to those papers and should not positive what they describe the doc, we’d chorus from stating {that a} Chinese language manufacturing unit began to make Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4090-based graphics playing cards on August 16. Nonetheless, the shortage of any remarks concerning the variety of boards to be made might point out that it didn’t.
Nonetheless, it’s about time for producers to begin producing Nvidia’s next-generation flagship graphics playing cards, or at the very least their samples based mostly on ultimate designs, in the event that they wish to get them to the market in September or October. Certainly, the absence of references concerning the quantity of the GeForce RTX 4090 manufacturing would possibly imply that the manufacturing unit deliberate to construct samples and anticipated to get AD102 chips and board elements on September 16.
Like different corporations, Nvidia by no means pre-announces its merchandise or discloses its manufacturing schedules for aggressive causes. But, conserving in thoughts the variety of GeForce RTX 40-related leaks which have emerged within the final couple of months, we’d counsel that the brand new household may arrive relatively before later until Nvidia decides to delay it by a couple of weeks in a bid to permit its companions to unload their present GeForce RTX 30-series inventory, which remains to be among the many greatest graphics playing cards round.
