The possibility of upgrading the GA107 chipset to AD106 and AD107 in laptops

According to recent news, Nvidia no longer produces test equipment for flagship graphics cards. Undoubtedly, the first RTX 40 Ada Lovelace graphics cards are high-end models equipped with AD103, AD102 and AD104 processors, but it seems that Nvidia is also preparing desktop and laptop versions of AD106 and AD107 silicons.

AD106 and AD107 chipsets, ready to be delivered to companies

According to the new news published by Kopite7kimi’s Twitter account, Nvidia has prepared test boards for processors AD103 (RTX 4080 graphics card), AD104 (RTX 4070 graphics card), AD106 (RTX 4060 graphics card) and AD107 (probably RTX 3050 graphics card). Is. This means that the company’s business partners and custom graphics card developers will soon have access to all Ada Lovelace graphics cards, and we will also see the release of news and accurate and reliable details about them.

It is worth mentioning that a few months ago, during a cyber attack, a lot of information was leaked from Ada Lovelace’s graphics cards. This information not only included the number of CUDA cores of the new processors, but also reported a multiple increase in the L2 cache memory capacity in these processors. For example, this AD102 processor has a cache of 96 MB, which is 16 times the cache of the GA102. In fact, since that time, we knew some specifications of each Ada processor. But what version (and with what power) each graphics card will be equipped with each processor is the decision of Nvidia and we have to wait until the release of each graphics card to find out.

Possible similarities between GA107 and AD106 and AD107 chipsets

Another interesting point is that Twitter account Kopite7kimi announced that laptops equipped with GA107 processors can be easily upgraded to AD106 or AD107 processors, and this upgrade does not require major changes to the board of these laptops. This issue can be examined from several aspects: the arrangement of pins and their compatibility, the same size of chipsets, or the amount of energy consumption and heat produced by them.

Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 40 graphics cards are based on the Ada Lovelace architecture, and that being said, the GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card is the first Ada Lovelace graphics card we’ve come across. The date of introduction of this graphics card will probably be sometime in September or October of this year.
