NVIDIA is rumored to be on the verge of launching GeForce RTX 40 graphics cards, its next Ada Lovelace architecture (named after a British mathematician). While little is known yet, the next GPU series will be released under a 5nm manufacturing process (Samsung or TSMC) between late 2021 and 2022.
According to leaker Kopite, NVIDIA might delay the introduction of Hopper, a 5nm architecture for professional products, to introduce Lovelace first.
In addition, Hopper is rumored to launch with MCM (the same one used by AMD Ryzen, but with multiple graphics chips). However, it is also unknown if this architecture will reach the gaming market, as Hopper-based GPUs may only be suitable for the HPC market.
Getting back to Ada Lovelace: She can be seen in NVIDIA’s Company of Heroes. This is actually a good indicator of who could end up as the new architecture name for the company’s upcoming graphics cards RTX 40 series.
Alan Turing incorporated Lovelace’s ideas into his thinking about computing, and computer scientists have named a programming language after “Ada” in her honor, as have many projects devoted to women in science. Ada”.
The Ada programming language was developed in the early 1980s. It is used primarily in high integrity/security areas such as commercial and military aviation, air traffic control, railroad systems, and medical devices. If you are interested, you can find more information about using Ada programming online.
Lovelace was an inspiring role model for young girls and women in science, and we need to give young women more opportunities to explore the field of engineering.
