NVIDIA Ada GPUs Smaller, More Performance: AD106 and AD107


Images and specifications for NVIDIA’s upcoming AD106 and AD107 graphics processors have surfaced. New Ada-architecture GPUs will power the low-end laptops we expect to be released soon.

MLID While some images were published by TechPowerUp provided detailed specifications, including die sizes and transistor counts. Based on the Ada Lovelace architecture, GPUs are smaller in size than their Ampere counterparts. As you know, the previous generation used Samsung’s 8LPP (8nm class technology derived from a 10nm class technology) technique. NVIDIA now manufactures its new graphics processors with TSMC’s 4N (4nm class) fabrication technology.

We can accept the decrease in GPU size as normal. However, the new GPUs offer much higher performances with their small size. Small chip sizes will also reduce costs. On the other hand, chip designers who want to achieve the needed performance targets should have had a harder time squeezing all the necessary interfaces (like memory and display outputs) into a single chip.

NVIDIA introduced its GeForce RTX 4000 series notebook graphics processors earlier this year. Laptops powered by the entry-level AD107 and mid-range AD106 GPUs will start at $999 and $1,500 respectively.
