NVIDIA seems to be working on a brand new Ada graphics card for the workstation lineup known as the RTX 5000 Ada.
NVIDIA's RTX 5000 Ada Workstation Graphics Card Most Likely To Utilize Cut-Down AD102 GPU With 15360 Cores & 32 GB Memory
Yesterday, at GTC 2023, NVIDIA unveiled its latest addition to the Ada desktop workstation family, the RTX 4000. The RTX 4000 Ada is an extremely efficient card that features the AD104 GPU with an operating TDP of 70W, requiring no power connectors to boot, and comes with an SFF design. The next card from NVIDIA is going to be crammed between the flagship RTX 6000 Ada and RTX 4000 Ada GPUs.
According to leaker, Kopite7kimi, NVIDIA is prepping the RTX 5000 Ada which he expects to use the AD102 GPU die. The reason why the AD102 GPU is used is that the core count of the said GPU is said to be 15,360 and the only chip that can accommodate that many cores are the flagship die. The GPU is already being used by the top RTX 6000 Ada GPU but even that isn't its final form as there is room for further enablement since the chip houses 144 SMs for a total of 18,432 cores.
I forgot to tell you about RTX 4000 SFF.
Maybe RTX 5000 Ada Generation has 15360FP32 and 32GB GDDR6.

With that said the NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada will feature a very cut-down die and feature 32 GB of standard GDDR6 memory running across a 256-bit bus interface. Considering that NVIDIA uses a similar DRAM spec as the RTX 6000 Ada, we can expect up to 640 GB/s of bandwidth.
As for TDP, NVIDIA can optimize the card anywhere between 200-250W but even with such a specification, the green team will definitely have a large room to fill in terms of SKUs. It is possible that we can see future refreshes in the form of the RTX *500 series with higher VRAM and more cores launch but for now, the RTX 5000 and RTX 4000 Ada GPUs leave a huge empty room that's waiting to be filled. The new card is also likely going to cost around $3000-$4500 US but the final MSRP is for NVIDIA to decide.
