Nvidia RTX 2060 announcement expected in the second week of January

The Nvidia RTX 2060 might be arriving sooner than we thought. Despite Nvidia admitting it has an overstock of mid-range GPUs in the channel leftover from the crypto-craze, the green team might be prepping the RTX 2060 for launch in the week following CES 2019. Word of a potential launch date sometime around the second week of January comes from Andreas Schilling, editor over at Hardwareluxx, on Twitter. Schilling confirms that marketing materials for the RTX 2060 have already started to propagate out to marketing departments at various manufacturers, and that the cards will come equipped with 6GB of GDDR6. Unfortunately that is just about all the confirmation we get on tech specs for the upcoming card. A previous leak suggests the pared down TU106 GPU within the RTX 2060 will feature 1,920 CUDA Cores within 30 SMs. Since Tensor and RT Cores, those capable of AI inference and real-time ray tracing, are inherently tied to each SM, that would suggest a total of 240 Tensor Cores and 30 RT Cores within the upcoming card.
