NVIDIA AD106 Silicon Powering RTX 4060 Series, Smiles for the Camera

[btarunr]

Here is one of the first pictures of the 5 nm "AD106" GPU powering the upcoming GeForce RTX 4060 series graphics cards NVIDIA plans to launch in May 2023. The substrate of the AD106 looks visibly smaller than that of the AD104, thanks to its lower pin-count. It is expected that the AD106 will feature a 128-bit wide GDDR6/X memory interface, and since the TGP of graphics cards based on the chip are expected to be well under the 200 W-mark, it doesn't need as many power delivery pins. The specific ASIC code for the AD106 in this picture, AD106-350-A1, reportedly corresponds to the upcoming desktop GeForce RTX 4060 Ti.

Interestingly, the desktop RTX 4060 Ti doesn't max out the AD106. That distinction goes to the RTX 4070 Mobile, which enables all 36 SM (streaming multiprocessors) present on the silicon, which work out to 4,608 CUDA cores. The desktop RTX 4060 Ti enables 32 out of these 36 SM, and hence lands itself 4,352 CUDA cores, 128 Tensor cores, 32 RT cores, 128 TMUs, and 48 ROPs. 8 GB is the standard memory size for both the RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 4060.

Damn it has 1/3 less SM than the 4070, well at least we now know that it will cost 400 dollars.

Finally a photo that’s wasn’t taken with a magnesium flash

Im not seeing a smile there.. rather a.. "Yeah I exist, FML, barely even gave me VRAMmo, feeling naked and untrained and still get sent to the frontline!"

Hi there RTX 4030 RTX 4060!

 

[Quitessa]

Yeah I'm getting 4010 vibes from this bugger. Can just imagine the marketing on the box "8k60p Capable!" yeah it can Display the Desktop at that not game.

Dead on arrival with 8GB VRAM.

8GB VRAM was on $229 MSRP cards in 2016. By 2018 you could get them for $149 and 4GB was already a problem which is why you could buy a brand new 570 4GB for $99 at one point.

That will undoubtedly be the headline if it releases like this. Hopefully Nvidia can do a change before release, or delay release to at least give the card a chance.

Brave new world!

3060TI: 4864 CU / 256 bit memory bus / 392 mm² die size
4060TI: 4352 CU / 128 bit memory bus / 190 mm² die size

Jensen, now put 449 bucks MSRP on 4060TIs and stick them in brainwashed PC gamers' butts. Green team fan boys are gonna love it. They are a bit of a sadomaso types after all

The name x60 has been devalued over time, the price no. They cheat us. Old name, new range

You people don't get it. They don't care if these cards sell or not, and neither dose AMD with it's 2020 cards that are "competing" with Nvidia's 2023 cards. You either buy it as an upgrade from a GTX 1060 or don't, Nvidia dose not care.

What about investors? I'd imagine some won't be all too happy w the next quarterly report.

These are the real xx60 range. These boards have a wrong name.

What about the investors in car companies ? have you seen those car lots with thousands of old unsold cars, yeah, they don't drop the prices on those either. For them, AMD, Intel and Nvidia, it's either buy it at the price we are selling or don't, we are not loosing money either way.

They'll be ecstatic with them selling such junk at inflated prices, and those are only the chips that fail to meet the requirements to be quadro's at even Higher prices.
Anything you see as a Gamer chip is a failed Quadro chip with extra things fused off to prevent competition and get Something back for what would otherwise be ewaste

DOA ?

 

[Minus Infinity]

More overpriced tripe incoming. 7600XT also will be gimped too and both will be well over $300. Brilliant way to keep your Ampere and RDNA2 cards alive.

lmao 8gb
