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 19th century 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]
