NVIDIA to expand AD104 GPU product lineup

Wccftech reports that NVIDIA is currently working on AD104-250 and AD104-251 GPUs.

The highly anticipated “affordable” RTX 40 series is set to launch in the coming months. The specifications of the RTX 4070 and 4060 series of GPUs were revealed a few weeks ago. But as we get closer to the possible launches, now more unconfirmed specifications are being mentioned by other sources.

The RTX 4070 is said to feature an AD104-250 GPU with 5888 CUDA cores and 12GB of GDDR6X memory. This graphics card will be limited to 250W TDP. Interestingly, a new SKU has been mentioned featuring the same GPU variant but also a lower TDP. At this point, it’s not clear what name this SKU will get, or which AD104-250 spec is correct, though.

New SKUs introduced for board partners:

PG141-SKU343 – AD104-250 GPU – 200W TDP – Production Feb 2 PG141-SKU345 – AD104-251 GPU – 200W TDP – Production Mar 2

More importantly, there is a second AD104 card with a completely different board SKU number and another GPU variant. The AD104-251-equipped part will likely feature minimal changes to the specifications, possibly related to memory configuration. Another possibility is that NVIDIA is simply exploring which design would make it better for the current market.

The source provided potential mass production dates for both SKUs, with one now being planned for the second half of February while the other will follow a month later. This refers to a launch in the second quarter.

It should be noted that NVIDIA often feeds conflicting specifications to board partners (which is where we believe this rumor originated from), only to change its plans later. This rumor certainly does not provide answers but only more speculation at this point. The good news is that at least two desktop AD104 cards are planned.
