Hmm, so N43 and N44 going to be 8000M series ?????? Navi4 is not 7000 series.
It's going to be very hard to align the two exposures well.there is an option, once we get to high NA EUV, of using stitching to make dice with the same reticle limit that we have today. One half of each die will be exposed with one mask, and the other half, across all dice, will be exposed with a second mask.
The Super has always been the replacement version. So Nvidia would then stop making/selling the regular 4070.RTX4070S is the topic I questioned: if NV does release Super version, then there are going to have 3 SKUs with AD104 with difference only in 46, 52 and 60 SM...
Very hard I would think - AMSL has developed the technology - we'll have to wait and see if any customers as TSMC to implement it.It's going to be very hard to align the two exposures well.
The Super models are probably just faster GDDR6? The 4070 Ti is the full AD104 die and the 4080 is only a small cut on AD103.
I think this is bullshit. This would mean Consumer Blackwell would be 9-12 months out. NV has no need for interim parts to compete against RDNA4.NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER rumored to feature 16GB memory and AD103 GPU - VideoCardz.com
NVIDIA planning new RTX 4070 (SUPER) models NVIDIA might incorporate the AD103 GPU into the series. As per information from MEGAsizeGPU, the upcoming RTX 4070 SUPER variant is rumored to be equipped with the AD103 GPU and boast 16GB of 256-bit memory. This might be a substantial upgrade in...videocardz.com
Hmm, based upon this (ignore the headline) is that the products might actually be:
1. The 4080 Ti
2. A further cut down AD103 which replaces the 4080 at $999 or a bit lower (and the 4080 goes away)
3. A further cut down AD104 with slower GDDR6 which replaces the 4060 Ti 16 GB at $499 (and the 16 GB goes away)
I think this is bullshit. This would mean Consumer Blackwell would be 9-12 months out.
Only in a world where they don't like making money. Especially Nvidia who might be the most competitive company in the entire industry.NV has no need for interim parts to compete against RDNA4.
They are making money hand over fist. Their current line-up an pretty easily dust off the upcoming RDNA4 GPUs. NV may have to adjust pricing a bit where the new AMD cards land in terms of performance. I mean, if the leaks are true, AMD doesn't even have a 60 CU product in the lineup (I honestly hope there is a high performance product above what has been leaked). So, NV can just stick with it schedule as planned.Only in a world where they don't like making money.
A: their schedule is to remain competitive, and B: they like getting repeat sales from people who just bought a previous generation card. You really don't even have to consider what AMD actually delivers, that's not how it works for Nvidia's strategy.So, NV can just stick with it schedule as planned.
Fine. I'll just have to wait and see.A: their schedule is to remain competitive, and B: they like getting repeat sales from people who just bought a previous generation card. You really don't even have to consider what AMD actually delivers, that's not how it works for Nvidia's strategy.
Except NV has to think about Blackwell GPUs are supposed to launch end of next year. That's mean NV has to leave headroom for future RTX-5000 series. NV won't launch new 4000 models with bigger memory that will jeopardize RTX5000 series...A: their schedule is to remain competitive, and B: they like getting repeat sales from people who just bought a previous generation card.

No rumors of a 75W RTX 4050 desktop part yet?
You keep missing the point made by the other posters. Nvidia isn't just competing against AMD, but also against the 2nd hand market and people not upgrading at all.We live in the world where the RTX 3050 handily outsold the cheaper RX 6600 that significantly outperformed it.
NVidia need do nothing to keep making money hand over fist vs RX 7000 cards.

Super refreshes were generally small adjustments, meant to better to compete with new competition.
I would say it's more about spicing things up. It appears that 24 gbps GDDR6X is now available and updating the higher end products to use it makes sense.
