Now we see HWiNFO add support to an unannounced NVIDIA Turing microarchitecture chip, the TU106. We may well see an RTX 2060 using the TU106 chip. This addition to HWiNFO is to be taken with a grain of salt, however, as they have been wrong before. Sounds reasonable to me and it makes sense.

    Aww, now hwinfo64 is becoming clickbait garbage too... great:

    Let’s not forget they added support for the 1180/GV102 preemptively as well.

    Of course, TU106 would make sense for the 2060, but they are seemingly stabbing in the dark like the rest of the clickbait pages.

    Upcoming changes in next release... so its not added yet...
     
    That said I am sure those chips do exist. But they would only be used internally in NVIDIA until they make a product out of them.
     
    I worry about what a TU106 would be, the 2080 (non ti) cant even do ray tracing above 60fps at 1080p, so would they waste the die space on a 106 for the ray tracing cores? If it does not have the cores, is it really a Turing? Perhaps a Volta would make more sense since anything AI can use tensor cores.
