NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs and SM Counts Allegedly Leaked, Up to 18,432 CUDA Cores

The cyber attack on NVIDIA continues to be the gift that keeps on giving, as the initial lineup and select specifications of green team’s next-generation desktop GPUs for the GeForce RTX 40 Series have now seemingly leaked. As indicated in a table shared by @davideneco25320 (and corroborated by VideoCardz), there are at least five GPUs in the works, with the most powerful, the AD102, carrying 144 Streaming Multiprocessors (SM). Assuming that NVIDIA keeps the same CUDA count per SM, that figure would equate to 18,432 CUDA Cores, a significant increase over the GeForce RTX 3090, which features 10,496 CUDA cores.

I bet amd and Intel are loving this. In a fair competition way. Essentially they can't use the data they find unless someone else like these sites publish it. Then suddenly the data is no longer anti competitive to use. Kinda like stock trading. It is insider information until it is leaked or published.

I don’t think it changes much - we see leaks like this all the time. Even if this is supposedly from a direct internal source — that’s where all the leaks come from.

Just because nVidia has some documents with these specs doesn’t necessarily mean it will make a retail product like this. I’m sure they plan to, but yields, efficiencies, form factors, costs, etc. etc. can and do change plans all the time. I’m sure for each generation there are a lot of planned SKUs that never see the light of day because of various reasons.

I always just assume the “leaks” are intentional anyway — either trial balloons to gauge public interest, misleading statements to draw off competition, or market fluff to pump up (or temper down) investors for stock prices.

And again I dial back if they have talented counter hacking teams. Lets call them a cyber warfare response unit. There is a chance a lot of misinformation is seeded into whatever the 'hackers' managed to grab.

Honestly that would be a awesome way to secure data.

"You hacked the company and got copies of all of their customers."

"yes we did."

"Why are 60% of the records past disney characters, Anime Characters, and other fantasy literature names?"

"Uhhh Popular names?"

"This one here says the residence is on the BELTS OF SATURN."

"Uhhh... so not a time traveller?"

"This data is WORTHLESS because we can't discern what is fake or what isn't. Even scam call centers won't pay for this!"

"Well crap..."

"**** my computer just locked up everything is encrypted!"
