NVIDIA might be reportedly planning the production of RTX 4070 and RTX 4060 Ti based on AD104 ‘Ada’ GPUs

NVIDIA appears to be preparing to begin mass production on two brand new AD104 GPUs, probably for the Geforce RTX 4070 and RTX 4060 Ti. NVIDIA appears to be developing two additional GPU SKUs for its upcoming GeForce RTX 40 Desktop portfolio. These SKUs are built on the AD104 die, the same design that powers the recently released GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, and while that uses the fully enabled chip, these new dies will be drastically reduced.

We have the NVIDIA AD104-250 and AD104-251 processors. The RTX 4070 Ti die is the AD104-400-A1, so you can estimate how much of a cut-down chip we might be getting.

It’s worth noting that the chip designation 251/250 suggests that both will be fairly similarly constructed, though this remains to be seen. The AD104-250 GPU will use the PG14 SKU 343 PCB, but the AD104-251 GPU will use the PG141 SKU 345 PCB. The NVIDIA Geforce RTX 4070 Ti is likewise built on the PG141 (SKU 331) PCB, which means AIB partners won’t have to put in a lot of effort to develop the new chips.

Furthermore, both GPUs are rumoured to have a 200W TGP, but that could change. In terms of production, the AD104-250 GPU SKU will be the first to go into mass production in the second half of February, followed by the AD104-251 SKU in the second half of March. There is no current shelf date for each card, however it is expected to be in the second half of 2023, around Computex 2023.

Previous leaks have stated that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 will have 5888 CUDA cores, 12 GB GDDR6X VRAM clocked at 21 Gbps, 36 MB of L2 cache, and a 250W TGP, while the RTX 4060 Ti was speculated to include the AD106 GPU, which may or may not happen. The information we obtained was relatively recent, so it is likely that the older specs were correct as well, but a lot has happened since then, such as the discontinuation of the RTX 4080 12 GB, which was renamed the 4070 Ti.
