There were rumors that due to higher power consumption, NVIDIA would be using parts based on previous architectures, but later on, NVIDIA confirmed that processors could not meet GeForce standards.

Unfortunately, the latest 461.72 drivers have now confirmed that the 30HX and 40HX mining processors are indeed based on an old Turing architecture which means that The CMP 40HX will be based on a custom TU106 processor while the 30HX will be based on a TU116 based GPU.
