The latest rumours pertaining to NVIDIA’s after-Ampere GPU, is that it could go by the name Ada Lovelace and that its GPU design has been somewhat finalised, according to a leakster who goes by the handle Greymon55 (@greymon55). In addition to this detail, they also say that the Ada Lovelace will be based on TSMC’s 5nm process node.

To be precise, kopite7kimi says that NVIDIA’s decision may end up hinging on the success of AMD’s own next-generation RDNA3 architecture, which is expected to utilise its multi-chip mode (MCM) design. In addition, YouTuber Moore’s Law is Dead also suggested that Ada Lovelace may not just be limited to desktop GPUs and could also end up being a primer for future NVIDIA SoCs. The YouTuber says that the GPU may just end up being a part of NVIDIA’s Orin Series SoCs that are used in its self-driving card initiative.

Fingers crossed, the brand will at least have something ready for the tech media by September next year. (Source: Videocardz, Twitter [1] [2] [3] [4], Moore’s Law is Dead)
