After the rumors about the number of Streaming Multiprocessor of the GPU Ada Lovelace Of NVIDIAi.e. the alleged range GeForce RTX 4000 which should see the light in the last part of the year (September?), new information emerges on the amount of L2 cache of the chips and the memory bus.
The information comes from (via Videocardz) from the data stolen from NVIDIA in the now well-known attack of the past few weeks. As for the L2 cache, the new architecture should do a clear step forward compared to Amperewith the flagship GPU AD102 he should have 96MB L2 cache compared to the 6 MB of the current GA102 of the RTX 3090. Un 16-fold increasewhich is reminiscent of what AMD did with RDNA 2 GPUs and Infinity Cache (albeit with a different cache hierarchy).
I chip AD103, AD104, AD106 e AD107 they should instead boast respectively 64, 48, 32 and 32 MB of L2 cache. The current analogue GPUs GA103, GA104, GA105 and GA107 instead integrate 4, 4, 3 and 2 MB.
The AD102 GPU should have un bus di memoria a 384 bit, AD103 a 256 bit, AD104 a 192 bit e AD106 e AD107 a 128 bit. The increase in L2 cache comes alongside that of CUDA cores. AD102 should have a maximum of 144 Streaming multiprocessors, which means it could deliver 18432 CUDA cores, 71% more than the 10752 CUDA cores integrated in the GA102.
As for the other GPUs, AD103 would have a maximum of 84 SM (10752 CUDA core), AD104 would stop at 60 SM (7680 CUDA core), while AD106 and AD107 would integrate 36 and 24 SM, that is 4608 and 3072 CUDA cores respectively.

The rumors about the higher consumption compared to the current generation, even if to be taken with a grain of salt regarding the rumors about the extreme values of 800-850W, acquire further foundation. For this reason, the new GPUs – which should be produced at 5nm by TSMC – will be powered by a 16-pin (12 + 4) cable capable of carrying up to 600W.
