Nvidia's RTX 40 series graphics cards could launch in 2022

(Pocket-lint) - According to reports, Nvidia is gearing up to motorboat its adjacent procreation of gaming graphics cards successful 2022. The company's next-generation GeForce RTX 40 bid GPUs are successful the works and volition beryllium based connected the Ada Lovelace architecture. 

According to Wccftech, assorted reliable leakers person confirmed that Nvidia is utilising TSMC's 5mn process node for the caller 40 bid graphics cards coming successful 2022. This has present been confirmed by accusation coming consecutive retired of the Taiwanese factories wherever the graphics cards are being made. 

• GPU shortage to proceed passim 2022, according to Nvidia
• Best graphics card: Get a GPU to powerfulness you to gaming bliss

Twitter idiosyncratic RetiredEngineer has shared immoderate of the accusation primitively posted connected Digitimes:

"Nvidia's biennial GPU refresh coming successful 2022, riding connected metaverse and gaming. Following H100, based connected Hopper architecture, utilizing TSMC's 5nm + CoWoS, aimed astatine datacenter/AI, gaming GPU RTX40 series, based connected Ada Lovelace architecture, volition besides pat TSMC's 5nm...."

Being based connected the Ada Lovelace architecture, these caller GPUs are suggested to connection a fig of improvements and innovations that should marque them interesting. 

The leaks suggest that the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 GPU - the flagship of the scope - volition beryllium powered by Ada Lovelace AD102. That GPU volition person 18432 CUDA Cores (a important summation from the 10496 connected the existent RTX 3090). It could besides person a timepiece velocity arsenic precocious arsenic 2.5 GHz and arsenic overmuch arsenic 92 TFLOPs of compute performance. All ample jumps from the apical extremity 30 bid cards. 

If these specs are accurate, determination could beryllium arsenic overmuch arsenic a 150% show leap - a akin leap that we saw betwixt the RTX 2080 TI and the RTX 3090. In the existent satellite that equated to astir a 50% gaming show betterment truthful it would surely beryllium absorbing to spot that again. 

Nvidia's RTX 40 bid graphics cards could spell head-to-head with AMD's RDNA 3 based Radeon RX 7000 bid graphics cards. But lone clip volition archer however overmuch of this is accurate.
