Geforce rtx 2060: hwinfo reveals existence of the tu106 chip

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 'Turing' graphics cards are just around the corner, and initially the GTX 2080 and GTX 2080 Ti would come out, but we still don't know anything about the hypothetical RTX 2060 (or GTX 2060), well, from the latter it seems that some information is coming from HWiNFO .

RTX 2060 could reach the end of the fourth quarter

HWiNFO is adding support for an unannounced Nvidia Turing chip, the TU106. What we know so far, is that the first officially announced models of the RTX series are based on TU102 (RTX 2080 Ti), and TU104 (RTX 2080, RTX 2070). Well, it seems that the RTX 2060 (or GTX 2060) used a new chip called TU106, naturally more modest than TU102 and TU104.

This addition of HWiNFO should be taken with tweezers, as they had recently added support for what, at the time, was speculated to be NVIDIA's Volta microarchitecture, which we now know as Turing. This has not stopped others from speculating further, such as the case of 3DCenter , which gives its best estimates of what the TU106 might look like in terms of array size, shaders, TMUs, and more.

Since TSMC's 7nm node will likely be concerned with Apple iPhone production until later this year, NVIDIA may be using the same 12nm FinFET process that TU102 and TU104 are being manufactured with. This segment of the GPU is the basis of NVIDIA's gross revenue, so it is possible that at the end of the fourth quarter of 2018 we will see an announcement of availability of these cards.
