The top-end Ada Lovelace graphics processor, the AD102, sports a 384-bit memory interface. In combination with 21-Gbps GDDR6X memory, this nets the Geforce RTX 4090 a grand 1008 GB/second of memory bandwidth. The lower-end GPUs weren't so fortunate, though. AD103, the chip behind the RTX 4080, drops a full third of...
