I didn't expect this. I bought the original Titan, (still have it and it still works fine). Would this be a home consumer product like the other Titans? It seems kind of strange to be releasing this now. If it is real, it will be fun to see what it can do.

It's just an unreleased and probably canceled prototype. Unfortunately.

The headline might not have made this clear, but this prototype Titan Ada (if it's legit) never shipped. It was canceled.

Btw, does Nvidia have some sort of Code of Conduct, about who they'd sell to? As in, if there is a dictatorship, that wants to use AI to violate human rights even more with, would Nvidia say No, or would Nvidia gladly sell (if it weren't for them pesky export controls) ?

Probably not written down anywhere. The US has banned sales to China and a variety of other countries, though.

The OG Titan was Kepler wasn't it?

Kepler (which had three Titan branded products), Maxwell, Pascal (which had two Titan products I believe), Volta, Turing, all had Titan branded products. Why did Nvidia drop the Titan brand with Ampere and Ada? I can see how the 3090Ti might have taken the Titan spot w/ampere. Was the 3090Ti the full monty WRT ampere? I can't see any Quadro Ampere parts that have more Shaders / TMUs / ROPs, tensor cores and RT cores.

There are no Tesla or Quadro parts that exceed the specifications of the 4090.

Maybe the yields on the full monty Ada were just too poor to justify anything better than a 4090 from a specification standpoint?

Nope, they will sell to anybody with $$, if they had any ethics, then US Gov and their agencies would be on the ban list too.

How is this not a RTX 6000 Ada? The configuration and specs are identical.

NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Generation has 18,176 shader cores and 142 SMs, with 48GB of GDDR6 20Gbps memory. But it's also a dual-slot blower and 300W TGP. The rumored Titan Ada would have been the full 144 SMs and 18,432 shader ALUs. And the prototype appears to have been running 18 Gbps GDDR6 memory, but that could have easily been due to the early nature of the card.

I believe there was a photo leak last year showing boxes of hundreds (?) of the 4-slot coolers, all apparently destined for the scrap heap.

If Nvidia already has the RTX 6000 Ada parts why didn't they release a 4090ti? Or at least release the GPUs to their AIBs to manufacture 4090ti's? It's not like no one would be buying such parts, someone always does.

Possibly they had concerns with power or something, or the design didn't work as well as wanted. I don't know. Of course, Nvidia also doesn't want to compete with itself. RTX 6000 Ada costs $6800 or something, so making a faster Titan at half the cost actually potentially decreases ASP. And the 4090 was "fast enough" to stay ahead of everything else.
