Ada Lovelace, also referred to simply as Lovelace,[1] is a graphics processing unit (GPU) microarchitecture developed by Nvidia as the successor to the Ampere architecture, officially announced on September 20, 2022. It is named after the English mathematician Ada Lovelace,[2] one of the first computer programmers. Nvidia announced the architecture along with the GeForce RTX 40 series consumer GPUs[3] and the RTX 6000 Ada Generation workstation graphics card.[4] The Lovelace architecture is fabricated on TSMC's custom 4N process which offers increased efficiency over the previous Samsung 8 nm and TSMC N7 processes used by Nvidia for its previous-generation Ampere architecture.[5]
