The battle between AMD and NVIDIA will take its toll on air travel for a few months, but far from it they leave swords on the ground, everything is up. A leak comes out with a dropper and after a presentation that results in a buildup RDNA 2, in NVIDIA some alarms may have been caused.
AMD is expected to come with two types of memory on the market
The fact is that we don't know much about what AMD graphics cards will be in the game market. Leaks or rumors are rarely concrete, some fail and some achieve what they were promised, but if everything goes right, AMD will introduce two different alternatives to the top market Navi 2X
These alternatives can come from the hand of two types of memory that are already known: GDDR6 and HBM2E, where the latter will be Lisa Su's most powerful report, as has been the case since the introduction of this kind of memory and incloser.
If this eventually happens, NVIDIA faces a number of problems. In the first place, it would be behind the bandwidth and bus, which would add 50% efficiency increase per watt AMD, currently enter the green team obviously.
Although we have seen that an increase in performance will occur 40%This may not be enough for 4K and higher hertz prices compared to the new AMD card muscle.
The NVIDIA-Samsung agreement will outperform GPUs
Recent rumors, if you've followed them closely, mention that NVIDIA almost completely left TSMC in favor of Samsung, since Koreans may have a high-performance lithographic process that is very similar to that introduced by TSMC but at a lower price.
There is talk of a process called 10 nm, but that too with the actual densities, deceleration gate and corrosion of the transistors is actually 8 LPP. The agreement between the two companies looks like it will move on, because today the news of the latest GDDR6 graphics card upgrades for Ampere graphics is shocking.
What does this mean? Yes, NVIDIA can have it GDDR6 18 Gbps GA102That is, Huang will have the latest GDDR6 at 10nm at this speed Original 2.25 GHz.
If the details are true, as these modules have been in development and production for some months according to Samsung itself, NVIDIA may have full bandwidth below 384 bit 864 GB / s bus in its marketing, the speed is much closer to what AMD would accomplish with its HBM2E, thus closing the GAP between them at this time.
The problem, logically, is that it will not be cheap to do and this and the fact that death will be the biggest factor makes us think that we will see much higher prices in the NVIDIA option, something that AMD does not seem to be able to produce for the same reasons.
Maybe we're dealing with the first GPUs in history that can move celebrities 4K @ 144 Hz, but to assure you, we'll have to wait, at least, until the end of August.
