A tweet from The Videocard Give the alarm: NVIDIA will launch a new GPU in the second quarter, when BIG Navi will land near Computex.
If the filtered data is correct, as seen from meetings held between investors and AIB in recent days, the new NVIDIA would not be the art of a new build, but as the tweet said, a new graphics card.
What if NVIDIA came after AMD on purpose?
Plans are currently being implemented in both areas. New rumors about Samsung favor the seemingly distant flame. And it looks like the semiconductor giant is facing bigger problems than expected with the implementation of its 7 nm lithographic system with EUV.
Apparently, Samsung and NVIDIA will have an informal agreement on the lithographic process for months, when the launch and distribution date is over, so NVIDIA would have problems with the number of chips provided enough to give life to its new build.
If we add to this the lack of production of Huang's beloved partner, TSMC, we have a restaurant ready to explode and where AMD is in a great place to live, because the limited supply of wafers is guaranteed by the contract 7 nm.
Therefore, the palliative of NVIDIA will go through two options according to the latest rumor: GPU engineering at 7 nm with Samsung under Ampere / Hooper as an architectural presentation or more than obvious Testing the GPU at 7 nm which may have been the case a few months ago RTX 2080 Ti SUPER and new TITAN RTX.
Rands until September
We also reported that the latest leak was that until September we would not see the cards for sale, which is a good time (6 months) from the presentation to the launch.
The rumors discussed today leave behind a very real and clever scenario: the introduction of a new graphics card in March that could compete with AMD and BIG Navi nanometers are the same as new construction after summer to maintain its current state by updating its structures and models.
In addition, this will ensure the highest availability of wafer / chip for Samsung and TSMC, allowing a large number of graphics cards to be provided to all integrators and manufacturers.
This strategy will not impose the establishment of BIG Navi, but questioned the effectiveness of this, as NVIDIA's design could, in theory, match or surpass AMD in the same lithographic process and could lower the price of its graphics cards to compete with you, since it's a more mature and more profitable structure.
