Considering NVIDIA has announced the product and indicated it would become available later this month, and gas shared all specs, it's not surprising to see a bit more leak here and there. However, new is a die photo of the GPU that will empower products in the GeForce RTX 3050 and 3060 range.
Below the photos, the GA106 GPU will likely be used on several products, but as always, reconfigured to meet the performance level. We would not be surprised to see, say, an RTX 3050 Ti or something down the lines. The GPUS is estimated to have a die-area of 272 mm², similar to the "GA104." GA106, when fully enabled, holds 3840 shading cores, 120 3rd Gen Tensor cores, and 30 2nd Gen RT cores. This is GS106-400; the GA106-300 will be used in the 3060, that one gets 3584 Active shading cores.
