Yeah so the rumors of this year's core refresh being basically cancelled absolutely reminds me of the first 10nm chips that intel demo'd as ultra lower power mobile chips only. Well look what we are seeing now several years later: Alder Lake-S cancelled
Now why would Intel be cancelling a much...
Damn. Remember $250 got you a solid mid range card and $600 got you basically the best? and then the $1,000 Titan was for the LOLzfanboiz 1137hax0rz.
Now $1300-1500 get's Tier 2 performance.
This is total BS. Tons of other sites have in depth reviews. The fact is the main website is in the gutter. They’ve lost most of their writing talent, the guys that wrote those good reviews are long gone. So now it’s server power supplies and ram reviews.. how exciting.
Exactly. For ANYONE playing competitive online games, you don't go higher than 1080p + 240hz. I suppose dudes playing single-player games want to sit there and stare at 4k with maximum effects but yes - we are at the point of diminishing returns. You can scoop up a vanilla 3080 and be set for...
Ampere production on Samsung 8nm is continuing. They aren't going top "sell out" of Ampere anytime soon. Total guess but I see Ampere production continuing well into 2023 and likely until 4N is the new "value" node which would be 2024 when 3nm is beginning to start production on PC parts.
Not to mention that Samsung 8nm has huge capacity and is still producing cards. So why not even keep them in production as Samsung sells its 8nm wafers at a massive discount versus TSMC 4N. TSMC 4N is likely capacity constrained so this feels like production and fab capacity optimization versus...
So its clear they DID get major power savings by going from Samsung 8nm to TSMC 4N, but these top end models have cranked the power to maximize gains. Looking at their power graph
We don't have a Y axis but if you walk it back a but, a 3080 level of performance looks to be possible at 180-200...
What the hell is this presentation? It feels like an investor slide deck. Literally 4 minutes spent on new video cards as they pertain to video games and its been over 50 minutes on robotics/datacenter/car computers and other abstract things. Am I missing something or am I crazy?
Yep my thoughts exactly and don't forget nvidia is effectively doing their own version of infinity cache. The 4070 has 12x the cache of the 3070 so that smaller memory interface likely won't matter too much sub 4k.
Actually, given the rumored power draw and a full 2 node leap we could see 2x performance and it not be that crazy. Not saying its a sure thing, but going from Samsung's 8nm (rebranded 10nm, itself a half node) all the way to TSMC 5nm is a massive jump. If you go back all the way to 180um in the...
Right. Effectively doing their own infinity cache. For people (like me) that play at 1080p240hz it's ideal. For people looking to play at 4k it can and will likely perform worse versus an alternative with higher bandwidth. However, given both AMD and NV went this route it's rather a moot point...
I expect fairly strong perf/$ gains this gen. Nvidia is making a massive leap, basically two node jump and crypto demand will be at a multi year low.
If NVIDIA is slashing orders from tsmc we can also hope that pricing will be more aggressive...
