NVIDIA 4090s Nerfed to Half Speed
NVIDIA is so far ahead that all the 4090s are nerfed to half speed. There's an eFuse blown on the AD102 die to halve the perf of FP16 with FP32 accumulate. RTX 6000 Ada is the same die w/o the blown fuse. This is not binning, it's segmentation. Wish there was competition.
George Hotz claims that NVIDIA deliberately limits the RTX 4090 by blowing an eFuse, reducing its FP16 performance compared with the RTX 6000 Ada, which uses the same die without that limitation. The joke is a sarcastic criticism of NVIDIA’s market segmentation and the lack of competition, illustrated by performance figures in the attached screenshots.
