4080/90 taped out

Tobe honest, if Nvidia had any moxxy, they would stay ay Samsung and its N7 ; the reason? Wafers. TSMC is wafer constrained. When TSMC have said they would double annual wafer output at N5 from 50,000 to 100,000 a year by end 2021 ( Analysts Forecast TSMC To Double 5nm Output This Year | Tom's Hardware (tomshardware.com) ) , samsung have double that already and are growing . Nvidia are selling everything they can lay there hands on, so if they move to TSMC, they fight with Apple and Intel over wafers and supply gets far far worse than now.
 
Where does it say it's taped out?

Nvidia using Samsung 6nm would be a mistake, they again end up with a 30 to 40% disadvantage in transistor density to AMD
 
How many 3090 owners will scramble for these even though they paid out the nose for vram longevity? :p

Wonder how much vram the 4080 will have.

It will be the same 20-30% increase, it's Nvidia remember... Also I feel some of them specs are not right and same for the 7900XT specs.. One thing for sure is prices are going up and power use... rest well we will have to wait and see.. Remember 2080ti (4352 Cuda cores) to 3080 (8704 cuda cores) was a 2x cuda cores too.. There was no 71% gains as he puts it in his clickbait article. Scaling doesn't work that way and Nvidia and AMD are both going for brute force route next time and we all know that goes so far and only thing that will happen is the power use is insane for the real world performance increase.

We need a new way to make GPUS soon as we can't do the brute force way forever unless you want to plug your GPU and CPU directly to the mains and have an air conditioned room unless you want to be baked alive.

I'm going to beat the poo out of my 3090 until the warranty runs out. Then I'll look at Cexing it and getting the fastest 16GB card I can find with Optix support or a workable alternative. Then I'll beat the poo out of that.
 
Will the new connector work for current power supplies or will they need a whole new PSU? Only got a 1000w early this year.


Don't worry they will have you covered.

Or it will be a Nvidia ugly adapter cable with 4 x 8pin PCIE to 16pin new connector.

While the AIBS go back to this :-

Rather have 200,000 wafers than 40,000 , since they would be up against Apple and Intel for N5. Its a numbers game.

The smart move would be to put the AD102 chips on TSMC 5nm with the rest on a cheaper Samsung node.

Yep. Then charge $1999 for the FE 4090 and companies like ASUS will charge $2999 :cry::cry::cry:

I will just grab a 4070 for probably £499 which will outperform a 3090 :D
