Nvidia product roadmap exposed: Ada Lovelace architecture successor to launch in 2025
At present, NVIDIA is overhauling its client product line, ushering in a new generation of GPUs based on the Ada Lovelace architecture to supersede the old products. This transition has progressed into mainstream market segments, with the GeForce RTX 4060 poised for imminent release. Considering NVIDIA’s architectural update cycle, typically every two years, a considerable amount of time remains before the launch of the next-generation gaming GPU architecture.
According to a report by HardwareLuxx, as part of the ML Commons training results announcement, NVIDIA unveiled a product roadmap in a presentation, revealing some information regarding forthcoming chip and architecture plans. It suggests that from the first half of 2024, the data center-oriented “Hopper Next” (potentially Blackwell) and BlueField-4 DPU will commence the phase-out of existing products. Meanwhile, another heavyweight, “Grace Next,” is projected for 2025, with “Ada Lovelace Next” also making its debut in 2025. This implies that there will be no new GeForce products based on a novel architecture in 2023 and 2024.
Reflecting on NVIDIA’s past several architectural updates, they usually occur just over every two years:
- Ada Lovelace – October 2022
- Ampere – May 2020
- Turing – September 2018
- Pascal – May 2016
- Maxwell – February 2014
- Kepler – April 2012
Judging by these temporal milestones, the roadmap’s projected update timeline appears reasonable. However, the roadmap provides little in the way of detailed reference material, serving merely as a rough timetable. The exact course of events will depend on NVIDIA’s internal planning. We can potentially expect more “Ti” or even “SUPER” models in the Ada Lovelace architecture GeForce graphics card line-up.
