Nvidia’s new baby is a beast of a GPU, with up to 76 billion transistors, up from Ampere’s maximum of 28 billion.
NVIDIA’S NEW GPU has landed in the form of three new 4000-series graphics cards, and they are beasts. The $1,599 RTX 4090 24GB is a triple-slot 450W monster with 16,384 CUDA cores—50 percent more than the RTX 3090. Next is the $1,199 RTX 4080 16GB with 9,728 CUDA cores, and finally, the RTX 4080 12GB at $899 with 7,680 cores. All three use different versions of the new Ada Lovelace GPU coupled to GDDR6X memory. These have fourth-generation Tensor cores, third-generation ray tracing cores, shader execution reordering, DLSS 3, and clocks over 2.5GHz. These updated technologies, along with bigger core counts and faster clocks, add up to a big performance increase over the Ampere-powered cards. Every metric has been bumped: doubled or more in many cases. Nvidia’s claims include the new cards running games between two and four times as fast as their predecessors. Anything with ray tracing is particularly blessed.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?
WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?
Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation
EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.
