A ChinaTimes web resource, citing industry sources, spoke about Nvidia’s plans for GPUs on promising architectures. Ampere crystals will be manufactured on 7nm TSMC carriers, experts say, and the next-generation cores, codenamed Hopper, will be manufactured on 5nm Samsung lines with EUV lithography.
In mid-May, the speech from Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, originally scheduled for the GTC 2020 conference, will be released. It is expected to reveal the first details on the Ampere GPUs that will serve as the basis for the new GeForce RTX cards. However, the official announcement of new products should be expected no earlier than the second half of the year, probably in August-September. At this point, the current generation of GeForce RTX 2000 accelerators will be two years old.
According to ChinaTimes, among TSMC clients using 7nm process technology, Nvidia will be the largest. This is likely to affect the enhanced 7nm nodes, known as N7P (DUV lithography) or N7 + (EUV lithography). Meanwhile, Samsung and TSMC have already mastered 5nm process technology using extreme ultraviolet lithography and are ready for series production.
