Is Nvidia following AMD’s path? GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards will get ten times more cache than GeForce RTX 30

Since Nvidia’s internal network has been hacked, more and more details are emerging about Ada Lovelace 3D cards – the ones that are replacing the current Ampere. Yesterday we wrote about the number of streaming multiprocessors and, accordingly, CUDA cores in new GPUs, and now it is reported that the GeForce RTX 40 will receive simply gigantic amounts of cache memory.

If the Ampere GPU has 512 KB for 32 bits of the bus, then Ada Lovelace will receive 16 MB for 64 bits. Assuming that the memory bus width in the new models matches the memory bus width of the current models, it turns out that the GeForce RTX 4090 on the AD102 GPU will have 96 MB of L2 cache, the mobile GeForce RTX 4080 Ti on the AD103 will have 64 MB, and the same number – for the GeForce RTX 4070 on AD104. The GeForce RTX 3060 on the AD106 will get 48MB of cache, while the AD107-based graphics cards will have 32MB.

Apparently, Nvidia decided to follow the path of AMD and came up with their own analogue of the fast cache memory Infinity Cache. All technical details about the GeForce RTX 40 based on the latest leaks are summarized in a table. This makes it easier to get an idea of ​​​​the capabilities of the GeForce RTX 40 in comparison with the GeForce RTX 30.
