NVIDIA
Architecture
Ada Lovelace is NVIDIA's fourth-generation RTX architecture, manufactured on TSMC's custom 4N process. It introduces 4th-generation Tensor Cores with FP8 support, 3rd-generation ray tracing cores, and the Shader Execution Reordering (SER) engine for improved workload scheduling.
AI Relevance
FP8 Tensor Core operations provide a significant uplift for quantized LLM inference compared to Ampere's FP16-only Tensor Cores. DLSS 3 Frame Generation demonstrates the architecture's AI processing capabilities.
