Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 SUPER will have 10,752 CUDA cores and consume over 400W of power

With the release of GeForce RTX 3080 Ti/RTX 3070 Ti, NVIDIA completed the first phase of the product layout of the Ampere architecture. Although the GeForce RTX 3050/3050 Ti has not been released on the desktop platform, it has already appeared in the mobile market. I believe it will not be too difficult to further expand the product line. Two months ago, the configuration information of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen4 gaming notebook was leaked for the first time on Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 30 SUPER series. At first, I thought it would only appear on mobile platforms, but with the release of desktop platforms there will also be GeForce RTX 30 SUPER series, and NVIDIA has prepared a new GA103 GPU.

According to Twitter user @greymon55, the GeForce RTX 3090 SUPER to be released by Nvidia will use GA102-400 GPU, with 10752 CUDA cores, power consumption will exceed 400W, and memory speed will be higher, reaching 20 Gbps. This means that compared with the current GeForce RTX 3090, there will be two more SMs, that is, 256 CUDA cores, which is 2.5% more in number, and the power consumption will be about 50W higher, and it is expected that there will be a 5% performance improvement. The previously rumored GA103 GPU is still manufactured using Samsung’s 8nm process and will be used on the GeForce RTX 3080 SUPER, but the performance will be lower than the current GeForce RTX 3090.

It is reported that the GeForce RTX 30 SUPER series will be put into production this quarter, and NVIDIA may launch the GeForce RTX 30 SUPER series in the first quarter of 2022. The release time may be similar to Alchemist, the first product of Intel’s new high-performance gaming graphics card brand Intel Arc. As for the price, you can’t expect too much. GeForce RTX 3090 SUPER will not be cheaper than GeForce RTX 3090. Although Nvidia may lower the official suggested retail price of the old graphics card before the release, the graphics card market now has a serious premium, even if it does so, it is difficult to buy this graphic card at the official suggested retail price.
