Hardware leaker named Harukaze5719 has shared alleged Ada Lovelace dies which will power Nvidia’s next-gen RTX 40-series Mobile GPUs along with their associated power targets. As per the leak, Nvidia could prepare a GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile, and this is for the first time this model number has come up in the mobile segment.  

The leak discloses five GeForce RTX 40-series Mobile GPUs in total, consisting of GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile, GeForce RTX 4080 Ti Mobile, GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile, GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Mobile, and GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile. Reportedly, the mobile variant of the GeForce RTX 4090 will utilize the AD103 die, whereas the GeForce RTX 4080 Ti will depend on the AD104 die, on the other hand, the AD106 silicon will serve the GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile. Finally, the GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile models could sport the AD107 die. 

Power consumption for the GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile and GeForce RTX4080 Ti Mobile allegedly peak at 175W, and the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Mobile tops out at 140W.  

But we haven’t received any TDP for the GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile and GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Mobile SKUs. If these are the accurate figures, then the GeForce RTX 4090 should be a huge upgrade in the mobile space, providing desktop GeForce RTX 3090 or GeForce RTX 3080-like performance just at 175W. In order to keep the performance up at these lower TDPs, Nvidia have to unlock all cores on the AD103 for maximum performance and efficiency as compared to the desktop GeForce RTX 4080 16GB that will have a slightly neutered AD103 die. 

For the GeForce RTX 4080 Ti Mobile, we should expect this GPU to be a very important downgrade in overall performance compared to the GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile because of the rumored die change from AD103 to AD104. As AD104 features an almost 40% reduction in core count, the GeForce RTX 4080 Ti Mobile will be the mobile variant of the now deleted GeForce RTX 4080 12GB SKU. As clock speeds have a chance to fluctuate due to the lower TDPs needed on mobile SKUs, thus the performance will be dictated by clock speed in the mobile segment. With a 40% reduction in core count on AD103, there is a little chance we will see higher clock speeds on the GeForce RTX 4080 Ti Mobile compared to the GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile. 

We still do not have much information on AD106 or AD107 to know how fast or slow the GeForce RTX 4060 (Ti) Mobile and GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile will be. But we expect a performance upgrade over their GeForce RTX 30-series counterparts. It is quite interesting to see the introduction of the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Mobile so early in the mobile pipeline, along with GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile and Ti variant GPUs using the entry-level AD107 die in the place of AD106. It is different from 30 series models, where the xx60 series cards operated on the GA106 die. 

It can be said that AD107 will be a powerful die on Ada Lovelace. It is still doubtful whether this die change is only because of GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile being introduced to the product stack, forcing other models to go down a notch in core count and GPU dies. 

Overall, Ada Lovelace's mobile is looking strong based on the power consumption targets and die models suggested in the leaks. GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile and higher SKUs will feature boosted power targets over GeForce RTX 30-series GPUs, along with the GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile having a chance to match the desktop GeForce RTX 3090 or GeForce RTX 3080 gaming performance. But we need to wait and see the spacing between these GPUs once Nvidia releases them. Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 40-series Mobile GPUs still have a 50% effective nerf to power targets over RTX 30-series desktop GPUs, which can hugely have an impact on the performance. It is all down to Ada Lovelace’s efficiency on the TSMC 4n node at these “very low” power targets.
