After a discussion between @Harukaze5719 and @Kopite7kimi a few months ago, @HW_Reveal has taken to Twitter to reveal the Nvidia Ada Lovelace mobile GPU. The image accompanying the tweet describes the so-called “GN21” naming and implies that the RTX 40 series mobile discrete graphics will have at least five SKUs. It can be seen that in addition to the high-end RTX 4090 / 4080 (GN21-X11 / X9), there are also mid-range and mainstream RTX 4070 / 4060 Ti / 4060 (GN21-X6 / X4 / X2).
In fact, as early as July this year, the GPU IDs of several RTX 40 series desktop/mobile graphics cards have been leaked, but at the time, it was not clear what exact models they corresponded to.
Interestingly, the new revelation claims that Ada Lovelace will usher in the RTX 4090 flagship mobile GPU, but the RTX 4080 (non-Ti), 4070 Ti or RTX 4050 is not seen in the known lineup.
Previously, @Kopite7kimi revealed that GN21-X11 / X9 are based on AD103 GPU cores, while GN21-X6 / X4 / X2 correspond to AD104 / AD106 / AD107 GPU cores respectively.
In addition, the TGP power consumption of the AD103/AD104 chip is expected to be 175W, while the AD106 GPU is up to 140W.
From the point of view of naming rules, Nvidia has obviously raised the lineup one level higher – the previous generation Ampere flagship mobile GPU, stopped at the RTX 3080 Ti with the GA103 core.
But the upcoming line of flagship mobile GPUs from Ada Lovelace is likely to give the AD103 core the RTX 4090 moniker.
Finally, WCCFTech expects Nvidia to launch the RTX 40-series mobile GPUs at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2023) early next year, as well as other SKUs in the desktop GPU lineup (such as the rebranded RTX 4080 12GB).
