As we are well aware, Intel is gathering time, resources and units from its new GPUs for gaming and it looks like NVIDIA has clear plans for the blue giant. It looks like a full-scale offensive in a great presentation that will rock the industry, so much so that Huang would move a tab into a key sales area like laptops and have two new GPUs ready: RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti Mobile.
A rumor has been going around for several days and although it is not strong enough to make the news due to its limited base, it has today taken a new course and arguments to give it at least partial credibility. There was talk of the supposed new RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti, but the specs, chips, and approach didn’t seem to be combined and of course it was impossible from a PC perspective that they matched, mainly because that they don’t. go for this sector, but for gaming laptops.
ID unveils RTX 3070 Ti and RTX 3080 Ti for laptops
– Tohsaka Komachi @Komachi (@KOMACHI_ENSAKA) November 2, 2021
AMD and NVIDIA fear Intel, they don’t take him as an actor who comes to compete at the bottom, but that he can give the bell to the point that he has already “eaten the toast” to those of Lisa Su in iGPU and the red team must now respond. Quiet and no-fuss and great presentations in style, but with an eye on every competitor, Intel’s low, mid, and high-end graphics options will reach laptops.
Why do we know this? For Komachi’s tweet with the DEV Xe Graphics models disclosed with internal nomenclature DG2, where at the moment we do not know which corresponds. This leak was already on NVIDIA’s roadmap, because at the same time Intel’s DEVs were leaking, a new Green Team ID was leaking with surprise under its belt.
This ID is 10DE: 24A0, which according to PCI Device DB corresponds to a new GPU with a GA104 chip which would correspond to the RTX 3070 Ti for Laptop and whose code name is encrypted in GN20-E6. Date added is from October 13, so NVIDIA had already for months had its direct answer to the Intel Xe for the industry, which outperforms the desktop PC 3 to 1.
Rumors of a double whammy for Intel and AMD
The blow can be masterful, since on the desktop NVIDIA is pale in VRAM compared to AMD and in Intel laptops it would be very strong for its performance / watt. On the desktop we could see two versions of RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti
Most likely, NVIDIA will keep the amount of VRAM on these GPUs and increase the number of shaders. Here we are entering the realm of speculation on our part, but we could talk about 7.680 (60 SM) for RTX 3080 Ti and 5.632 Shaders (44 SM) for the RTX 3070 Ti. While these numbers may vary, they won’t be far (if we don’t do it right) in what NVIDIA would have prepared, as they cover the range in a better way and for efficiency and performance they would be. a better option.
We must not forget the rumors that place the Intel DG2-512EU up to the GA102 chip. NVIDIA could deal a double blow to its competitors by covering the ground it left at the time, the question is whether it will succeed and most importantly, at what price they will arrive in the market.
