It makes sense, 144 SMs to 192 SMs and 24 GB to 32 GB for the GB202 vs. the AD102. A neat 33% increase on both counts.
I wonder if we'll have a 5090 with ~160 SMs and a 5090 Ti with ~184 SMs instead of just a 5090 with ~170 enabled SMs. The gap to the next tier is too big right now, but maybe the GB203 will be comparatively bigger vs. the AD103. Maybe even 128 SMs for the full chip to match the 4090 (though such a step up in the same tier seems uncharacteristic of Nvidia as of late).
Also, finally bought the GPU today, felt my soul being sucked out of my body due to the price, but otherwise all is well and accounted for now.
