A couple videos ago, I did the rundown of the rumored specs of the next generation of Nvidia Cards. I literally waited a couple of weeks before covering that because these kinds of things change a lot.

The reason why is pretty simple. Right now, nothing is really set in stone when it comes to these chips right not. I remember reading an igorlab article detailing an approximation of a GPU’s production timeline. According to him, We know the architecture, we might have an idea of the max core count for each chip from whispers in the industry, but nothing is set in stone for the RTX 4000 series.

During the first quarter of the year, we would have been in the Electrical and thermal design phase for RTX 4000. At the same time, the 3090 ti got announced and was a sort of proof of viability for the next generations' power consumption.
right now Engeneering samples , are getting shipped out to AIB’s and Design validation testing is going to happen in early to mid july. So as we get closer, and in the next month, we’ll see those leaks get more and more robust.

In fact, they changed again about a day ago. Just to highlight the changes, the RTX 4090 is currently testing at 16384 cuda cores, with 24GB of GDDR6X at 21Gbps, and a TDP of 450w.so the same as the last leak.
The RTX 4080 though was tweaked a little to 10240 cuda cores, Kopite, the leaker, is unsure of the rest of the specs but proposes 16GB of memory, all at 420w.

And lastly, theres the RTX 4070. It would sport 7168 cuda cores, that’s a lot less than the last leaks, it would also have 10GB of GDDR6, so 2GB less than the previous leaks, and all that at a 300W TDP. That 3070 spec is kind of interesting. I mean a lot of people, me included were clowning on the 3070 and 3080 for having less than 12 gb of memory, and at the time, we were kind of right, some games wouldn't even run at the highest settings because of Vram allocation. Nowadays though, things changed.
