News RTX 4060 Will Use Nvidia's Entry-Level Ada Lovelace Die

[Admin]

Nvidia is opting to use its entry-level die on the RTX 4060 instead of a mid-range die. This breaks Nvidia's tradition with previous xx60 series products.

Even the desktop RTX 4050 would use this same die/AD107-400, a cut-down version, since the MOBILE counterparts also use the same silicon. It appears the new die is very efficient, and Nvidia has also reduced the size of the die by a reasonable amount.

For comparison:

• AD107 "Ada" GPU Die Size = 146mm2 (TBD @5nm)
• GA107 "Ampere" Die Size = 200mm2 (8.7 Billion Transistors @8nm)
• TU117 "Turing" Die Size = 200mm2 (4.7 Billion Transistors @12nm)

so it basically is a xx50 tier gpu named as a xx60 tier.
I assume reason they made a "ti" version was to not relive the 1060 6gb vs 3gb issue where they were same tier yet vastly different they shouldnt of shared same name.

the ti looks fine but the non ti is questionable if its gonna be any better than 3060 outside dlss 3 enabled titles.

No it's basically a xx40 tier named as the 60ti is the xx50, it has the same relative core count as the 3050 so it's literally an xx50 for a 60ti price :|

Naming really doesn't mean anything anymore. People need to get off that train. We know what die it's using. And if people are not happy about that then don't buy it.
Ada is more powerful and power efficient than Ampere. Isn't that what people were crying for in the past?
Sometimes one may rise more than the other. That's just physics.
Nvidia next gen will be power efficient since they achieved that now. Therefore, they can focus on squeezing more performance out next time. But they will have a different design most likely to take advantage of more cache hopefully.

I wonder how much the change in scheme is caused by high yields reducing the need to bin chips.

Now product segmentation is more deliberate and not driven by production process variability. (?)
