According to reports, the HPCE power connector is very similar to the PCI Express connector, with a total of four sets of pins, of which 16pin are dedicated to the power supply and the other 12pin are dedicated to signal communication between the motherboard and graphics card. The connector itself is roughly the size of a PCIe x1 connector. The official documentation recommends not installing a locking mechanism on the HPCE connector itself, as the x16 slot’s built-in locking is already sufficient to hold the graphics card in place. The new connector is capable of delivering more than 600W of power to the graphics card, but the document doesn’t specify an upper limit.

Foreign media stated that this new connector is not actually an original design. It is a modified version of the HPCE standard for high-current gold finger connectors widely used in the server industry.

ASUS Tianxuan series of B760 interface rear motherboards using this interface will be launched in September this year. Asus also showed off a higher-end TUF Z790-BTF interface rear motherboard at Gamescom in Germany, which is also equipped with this interface.

NVIDIA has allegedly been stocking GeForce RTX 4090, RTX 4080, and RTX 4070 graphics cards since August. “Yes, the next generation of GPUs has been waiting for us…in the warehouse…dormant.”

In addition, there are GPU suppliers who said that their first batch of GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards arrived in August, such as several RTX 4090s that were exposed recently.

Another source said that NVIDIA will announce the new GeForce RTX 4090, RTX 4080 and RTX 4070 during next week’s “GeForce Beyond” special event, which will be available starting in October.

Additionally, NVIDIA will release its next-generation mid-range GeForce RTX 4060-series GPUs in January 2023, most likely at CES 2023, and go on sale shortly after.

Some people in the industry believe that there is still a large inventory of Ampere-based GeForce RTX 30 series graphics cards, which makes suppliers unsatisfied and may affect the launch of RTX 4080 and 4070.

@Moore’s Law is Dead also stated that his AIB sources were unhappy with having so many Ampere GPUs that it threatened NVIDIA’s next-generation Ada Lovelace GPU allocation.

This information is @Kopite7kimi put out, from what he said RTX 4080 3DMark Time Spy Extreme score of more than 15000 points, while RTX 4070 score is about 10000, if this score is correct RTX 4080 performance will be at least 36% higher than RTX 3090 Ti, nearly is RTX 3080 twice, and RTX 4070 performance will be on par with RTX 3090, more than 50% higher than RTX 3070.

He said the score is based on the premise that he previously revealed the specifications of the card, that is, the RTX 4080 using AD103 GPU, with 10,240 CUDA units, with 256bit / 16GB of GDDR6X memory, memory bandwidth of about 676GB / s, TDP about 420W. while the RTX 4070 using AD104 GPU, with 7168 CUDA units, with 160bit/10GB GDDR6X memory, memory bandwidth of about 360GB / s, TDP of about 300W.

NVIDIA may release RTX 40 series graphics cards in October this year, RTX 4090, RTX 4080, RTX 4070 may be released at the same time, but the unbanning and opening time may be staggered.
