Nvidia Ampere Samsung

Rather than tsmc s 7 nm process according to kopite7kimi a source with a high hit rate with nvidia rumors in the past.

Nvidia ampere samsung. The information comes from kopite7kimi on twitter. Samsung bags nvidia s 7nm ampere gpus after aggressively undercutting tsmc nvidia s status as one of samsung s 7nm euv launch partners has once more been reaffirmed by a new report. Samsung is nvidia s current partner for the production of the latter s latest 30 series ampere gpus but as consumers have seen uncertainty surrounding the former s ability to improve. Samsung s old 8nm tech at the heart of nvidia s monstrous ampere cards technology giant nvidia today announced its highly anticipated geforce rtx 30 series of gpus based on the company s latest ampere architecture which deliver consistently remarkable improvements over the 2018 rtx 20 range in virtually every aspect including cost effectiveness.

Digitimes is reporting. Nvidia has confirmed that its ampere second gen rtx cards are all built using the samsung 8n node as opposed to the tsmc 7nm production process used for its initial ampere ga100 gpu. Samsung might actually be the sole manufacturer of nvidia s ampere gpus. Nivida picks samsung as sole manufacturer for its ampere gpus.

Samsung gaining nvidia at tsmc s expense is a big power play. One thing is clear samsung can t produce the ampere based gpus quick enough or in enough volume so from the looks of things nvidia will be moving a large chunk of wafer fabrication to tsmc. That means the company could convince nvidia to fab ampere on samsung s own process rather than the process of its foremost competitor. Clearly the a100 is the price doesn t even matter market segment.

Nvidia is currently making its ampere gpus on samsung s new 8nm node but according to the latest reports the company will be shifting over most production to tsmc in 2021.
