Cheaper RTX 40 series should be coming mid-2023. Let’s see if any of these rumors are true.
Taken from Wccftech … NVIDIA is seemingly getting ready to commence mass production on two brand new AD104 GPUs, presumably for the Geforce RTX 4070 & RTX 4060 Ti.
Based on the information we received from our sources, it looks like NVIDIA will be producing two brand new GPU SKUs for its upcoming GeForce RTX 40 Desktop lineup. These SKUs are based on the AD104 die, the same die that is used to power the recently introduced GeForce RTX 4070 Ti & while that uses the fully enabled chip, these new dies will be cut down quite significantly.
Starting with the chips, we have the NVIDIA AD104-250 and the AD104-251. The die used for the RTX 4070 Ti is the AD104-400-A1 so you can guess just how much of a cut-down chip we might be getting. What’s interesting is that the chip designation 251/250 makes it look like both will be very similarly configured though that remains to be seen.
As for the boards, the AD104-250 GPU will utilize the PG14 SKU 343 PCB while the AD104-251 GPU will utilize the PG141 SKU 345 PCB. The NVIDIA Geforce RTX 4070 Ti is also based on the PG141 (SKU 331) PCB so AIB partners won’t have to invest a lot of engineering effort in the new chips.
Furthermore, both GPUs are said to feature a 200W TGP but that would most definitely change. Now coming to the production plan, the AD104-250 GPU SKU will be the first to hit production in the second half of February followed by the AD104-251 SKU which will hit mass production by the second half of March. There’s currently no shelf date mentioned for each card but it is likely to be in the second half of 2023, around Computex 2023.
