No he is being sarcastic, after all there is always a new graphics faster card to be launched later on and with the absence of hard facts rumour are easy to spread.

We supposed to be getting immortality this century, hope we don't have to wait that long for it.. If we don't blow ourselves up first.

So exactly what I have been saying for about a year now then
Not long now then, June will be here in no time. Shame it is not April though.

"According to Raymond James analyst Chris Caso, NVIDIA's 7nm Ampere GPU has actually been delayed for a few months, but he did not give specific reasons for the 7nm GPU to come later"
A whole bunch of tech stats dropped today - take with salt, though it's a lot of data
While not mentioned, if the memory bit rate and type is true it translates to 48GB of memory
- Nvidia GA100 (HPC)
- HPC / professional solution of the Ampere generation
- 6144 Bit HBM2 interface
- 8 Graphics Processing Cluster (GPC) with each 16 Streaming Multiprocessors (SM) and each 8 Texture Processing Clusters (TPC)
- each SM contains 64 CUDA cores (CU) with 4 Texture Mapping Units (TMU), but 16 Tensor cores
- Total of 128 Streaming Multiprocessors, which contain a total of 8192 CUDA cores, 512 TMUs and 2048 Tensor cores
- PCI Express 4.0
- 7nm+ (EUV) from TSMC
- Launch first half 2020
- Nvidia Ampere Gaming
- 5 gaming chips, all at Samsung 7nm (with EUV)

That would be the HPC boards though - gaming cards would be quite a bit less - nVidia have kind of said they are going to significantly increase VRAM amounts next generation though.
Is it really going to use the pci 4.0 bandwidth or are we just looking at "extra special writeup goodness" here?

GDDR6 or 6+ do not see them using HBM type Memory on gaming cards for various reasons seen before.

March to June for consumer GPU's sounds about right, They have no competitor passed the 2070 Super so releasing anything soon'ish would be pointless, June enables them to squash anything AMD releases around the same time.

Lets hope they are gaming and not just compute cards.

True, be nice to see some more competition and hopefully prices normalised.
Well that shows us what sort of size and core count the mainstream cards could have. potentially 8192 cuda cores on the big boy Titan card would be very powerful
In theory a 3070 could be looking at about 4500 cuda cores which would be between a Titan RTX and 2080ti in core count.
This could be monstrous in performance, without taking into account any improvements in the architecture itself.
Ok now I'm definitely looking forward to it.

haha definitely. I didnt post it, but there was also some guestimation for the gaming cards based on the HPC specs and you're in the right range with the 3080 estimated to be around 6000-6500 cuda cores.
Due to the bump in tensor and assuming RT cores gets the same type of bump - it was also estimated ray tracing could be up to 3 times faster than the RTX2000 cards when comparing something like a theoretical Ampere Titan to the 2080ti.
As long as prices don't go up for the 3070, then getting 2080ti performance raster performance and increased ray tracing performance for 2070 prices ($500usd) would be very good.
What is really written there is:
"I'm trying to recapitulate his deleted posts to Ampere:
Since he had posted that HPC Ampere consists of 2 chips:
GA100 with 6 HBM stacks, 6072Bit, double the number of tensor cores per SM.
GA101 with 3 HBM stacks, half GA100, was canceled according to him.
The further info he had marked as not safe, but I'll post it anyway for discussion:
GA100 8GPCx8TPC = 8192 shaders
GA101 and GA101 at TSMC with EUV
Gaming were five chips completely at Samsung with EUV according to him, but also uncertain.
Now, Samsung really does not know what their EUV process really is. But after David Schor posted the other day that 1 main customer is now turning his back on Samsung (Can only be Nvidia or QC, otherwise there are not any big ones anymore, tap on QC) it does not sound good. Ne 2080 TI Super in Q1 would definitely indicate a shift in amps and I guess that could be due to Samsung's process.
Oh, and finally, the ampere successor is called "Hopper" according to him and is no longer monolithic in the HPC area."
