Nvidia GA106 GPU core photo leaked, equipped with 6 pieces of 2GB GDDR6 memory

Nvidia launched the RTX 3060 graphics card in January this year, but the stock will not be available until the end of February this year. This graphics card will be furnished with a GA106 GPU core, 3584 stream processors, and 12GB of video memory.

According to the news, real shot images of the GA106-400 core. It can be seen that the chip area is smaller than that of the GA104-300 of the RTX 3060 Ti.

As per the information, previously obtained from graphics card producers, the core code name of the RTX 3060 graphics card is GA106-300. Therefore, it can be inferred that the GA106-400 in the photo may be an early engineering version, or RTX 3050Ti.

As can be seen in the picture, the graphics card is equipped with 6 pieces of 2GB GDDR6 memory, produced by Samsung, and there are two empty solder joints. For the RTX 3060 graphics card, despite having 8GB of video memory, the GPU core limits the capacity of each video memory to 1GB, so 8 chips of 1GB video memory are required.

GA106-400 has an area of ​​276mm2, and GA104 has a core area of ​​392mm2. the cores of Nvidia’s RTX 30 series GPUs are all Samsung foundry, using an 8nm process. The RTX 3060 graphics card has a core frequency of 1.78GHz and a memory width of 192bit. The official price is 2,499 yuan.
