Architecture

Turing

Turing is NVIDIA's first-generation RTX architecture, introducing dedicated RT and Tensor Cores to consumer GPUs for the first time. Built on TSMC's 12nm FinFET process.

AI Relevance

The first consumer architecture with Tensor Cores, enabling meaningful acceleration for INT8 and FP16 inference. However, limited VRAM (typically 6-11 GB) restricts modern LLM model sizes.

Process: TSMC 12nmPlatform: CUDATensor Cores: Gen 2Precisions: FP32, FP16, INT8, INT4
