It has 3,584 CUDA cores and CUDA 11.x can run on it.
The 3060 uses the Ampere architecture.
"Computer Capability" (CC) for the 3060 is 8.6. This is explained in detail here:
Pulling information from tables in the above, we find that:Each SM (streaming multiprocessor) has:
128 FP32 cores 64 (?) FP64 cores 64 INT32 cores 4 3rd generation Tensor cores 16 special function units for FP32 transcendentals 4 warp schedulers read only constant cache unified data cache and shared memory 128KDigging into other sources we learn this about the RTX 3060.
13.25 billion transistors 28 SM 3584 CUDA cores 28 RT cores (ray tracing) 112 tensor cores runs at 1320 Mhz 3M of L2 cacheWikipedia shows the Core config as 3584 112:48:28:112. What the heck does that mean? This counts shaders-texture:render:RT:tensor.
They say the RTX 3060 has a 192 bit memory path, compared to a 256 path in the 3060-Ti and 3070. So 6 chips with 32 bit path yield 192 width. Each chip is 2G so we get 12G.
