Nvidia unveiled the China-exclusive GeForce RTX 4090D, which meets US export laws
A 384-bit wide memory interface, 14,592 CUDA cores, 24GB of GDDR6X memory, and 425W power consumption characterize the new GPU
RTX 4090D has less CUDA cores and power draw than the 4090. CUDA cores dropped 12.8% to 14,592 (128 SMs to 114 SMs) and power draw down 5.9% to 425W from 450W in the RTX 4090D
Nvidia stopped selling the conventional RTX 4090 and other AI/HPC-focused GPUs to China, prompting the new consumer RTX 40 series GPU
Nvidia and its AIB partners have not released direct performance comparisons between the 4090D and 4090, but it is a given that the new RTX 4090D has a TPP rating of precisely 4,800 or lower, allowing it to be marketed in China
RTX 4090 landed up on the ban list since it just so occurred that its performance level in this benchmark is 10% greater (5,286) than the regulation limit
