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

RTX 4030RTX 4060!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.
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:nutkick:

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

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