Chinese manufacturer Shangke Group recently cited NVIDIA’s entry-level GeForce RTX 40 cards to the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC), a regulatory body in Eurasia. The next Ada Lovelace desktop SKUs of this generation, the RTX 4060 and RTX 4050, could then arrive sooner than expected, as they should arrive in less than a year. It would be something very different from the RTX 30 line, which took almost two years to have all its products in the hands of users, from the RTX 3090 to the RTX 3050 8GB.
The Chinese group owns the MaxSun and Soyo brands, which produce motherboards and video cards, and will produce, among the latest models, a GeForce RTX 4070 Ti soon. The listing names several GeForce GPU models, from the RTX 4090 to the GTX 700 series.
GPU manufacturers use these listings to file GPU model names with the government for later use, and often suggest what’s in development. Naturally, there is still a chance that SKUs will take a little longer to reach us.
We haven’t heard any rumors about an RTX 4050 or RTX 4060 desktop GPU, so performance estimates and GPU specs remain a complete mystery at the moment. Only laptop versions of these GPUs were released.

However, based on current rumors of the RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 4070, we shouldn’t expect these desktop GPUs to be as fast. Estimated specs for the RTX 4070 show us that the CUDA core count will match the previous generation RTX 3070, while also including a memory reduction from a 256-bit bus to 192-bit.
The 4060 Ti model is even inferior, with fewer CUDA cores than its 3060 Ti predecessor and a bus width limited to just 128 bits wide. But at least the 4060 Ti is rumored to have a TDP of 160W, so it will be very power efficient.
