NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

sorry mate i need to rephrase that for you,

"I know its going to be over £1000 but i hope they aren't gonna charge over £2000 for these new cards. "


if they are 50% faster than 2080Ti, you can bet nvidia will hit us with the bill plus service charge. :D

Maybe I am mistaken but I thought NV had said ampere would be similar to Turing but $50-100 CHEAPER at the top end?

You would only see big deals if they have a huge stock of them. Plus after a new series is released they normally take around 2 or 3 months to get up to stock

(There was hardly any good deals on the 1080ti about the cheapest ones I remember was £600 and then the prices went up)

Didn't Gibbo have a Gigabyte black special deal on at the time?
 
RTX3080ti/Titan RTX v2 specs

* 320bit bus with 20GB GDDR6 RAM
* 60SM units giving 7680 Cuda cores
* RTX has been replaced with "RTX Advanced" architecture providing double RTX and Tensor core depth
* INT32 Unit remains unchanged.
* Enhanced L1 Data Cache for more comprehensive functions.

New SM unit architecture with RTX Advanced

Yep. This thing cannot be made at 7nm by either Samsung or TMSC as monolithic die. And even at 12nm is going to be very expensive due to the very low yields. Let alone power consumption. 3 fan model would be probably not enough.

So either sht article or get ready to give your eyes, as you have already gave the kidneys for the RTX2080ti. :D

if it is on 7nm and that die size the gpu would be more than Double the performance of the 2080ti in every area.

Can't see Nvidia trying to deliver double or even more performance in a single generation especially with no competition.

so if the rumour is even remotely true it would mean a 12nm die.

But then how do they only add 100mm2 to the 2080ti but double the Tensor and RT core count and nearly double the CUDA core count.

After rereading at it the specs don't make sense. There is no way to fit that many cores into that die size on 12nm and while the specs on 7nm do work, the performance would be utterly insane and there is no way Nvidia would want to deliver that and as others mentioned that die size on 7nm is too expensive to manufacture, although it is technically possible.

We've already had performance indications from far more reliable sources like the university who has preordered Ampere gpus and were told they will get 75% more performance than the older Volta cards they had. These new "leaked" specs would far exceed the performance that we heard from that University interview

Could it be specs for a new £2500 Titan card ?

Yep. Another hype clickbait article tbh.
When TSMC says max 500mm2 for 7nm+ going to 900mm2 is too big even if they use special lenses etc. There are going to be only a handful working chips per waffer with that size. And that applies to the 12nm waffer also.

However if the die design image is correct, we see already what wrote a month back. NVidia going the AMD route for next year MCM designs as they have split and stuck the Tensor cores with the CUDA and not the whole lot separetly like on Turing. Still this design would be ineffective to cut small, but can be small enough to have multiple of these in a MCM substrate.

We shall see. 2020 is a weird year for GPUs and I will hold before buying anything.
Waiting to see how AMD handles the MI100 to see how far the 7nm can be pushed in size or if has some radical design difference.

Also I won't be surprised if AMD brings a cut down MI card for gamers from the failed chips. And that would be interesting if the new Vega design (Arcturus) is as good as the new Vega found in the 4000 laptop chips.

Yeah a reputation for making **** up, linking to it and then presenting as news :D pls no more Wccftech links I canne take any moar

Wccftech is a tabloid tech news site and like any tabloid news site has some good articles and gets some stuff right and some bad articles where it gets stuff wrong. To ignore it is just silly and counter-productive.
