AFTER 'UNLAUNCHING' the RTX 4080 12GB, the Ada Lovelace AD104 GPU returns in the form of the RTX 4070 Ti with the exact same specs as before but also a $100 price cut. Perhaps Nvidia hoped the price reduction would garner some goodwill, but as the generational replacement for the RTX 3070 Ti, we're also looking at a $200 increase in price. And the 3070 Ti already felt overpriced.
The good news is that you get a lot more performance from the 4070 Ti than from the 3070 Ti. It's over 50 percent faster at 4K, and just under 50 percent faster at 1440p. It's also close to the same level of performance offered by the previous generation RTX 3090, even though it has half the VRAM and half the memory interface width. That bit is impressive and shows just how much the larger L2 cache has helped performance with the Ada Lovelace architecture.
AMD accomplished the same feat with its Infinity Cache in RDNA 2, and that lives on in RDNA 3. But a 48MB L2 cache can only go so far, and relative performance drops off a bit more at 4K-the previous generation 3090 and 3080 Ti narrow the gap, thanks to their 384-bit interfaces.

Intel's crazy plan for 1nm silicon
FIVE NEW CHIP PRODUCTION NODES in four years. That was Intel’s plan to get back to technology leadership. It has now added a new 1nm lithography node to its roadmap, due in 2027. But here's the thing: in terms of products to buy, Intel has achieved little of its original plan. So, what’s going on?
