The next flagship processor in the RTX 4000 series will become power hungry. The TBP is rumored to be 800 watts for the card design. Please note that this is not the actual power consumption of the GPU, but the maximum power a card can handle.

Kopite7kimi mentions that the new SKUs for the new RTX 40-series GPUs will be AD102, AD103, AD104, and AD106. Apart from the top AD102, every SKU will be available in the consumer segment. The first in line, AD102, is the most power-hungry SKU, with a maximum TBP of 800 watts. Previously, the AD103 GPU was rumored to be limited to 450 Watts on desktop and 175 Watts on mobile. The desktop version of the AD104 processor would be limited to 400 Watts, the mobile version is still limited to 175 Watts. Additionally, the AD106 SKU has a desktop power limit of 260 watts and a mobile power limit of 140 watts.

In times of rising energy bills and power shortages, we wonder if this is the trend NVIDIA should follow. I cannot stress enough that the TBP is not the TGP, the total power of graphcuis. The values ​​will therefore be much lower, but everything indicates that these cards will probably be amplified.
