Nvidia Ampere & Turing (next GeForce) rumor thread

[jpiniero]

Does make me think that nVidia is skipping TSMC 10 nm and going straight to TSMC 7 nm.

 

[Qwertilot]

For their next giant compute chip? Yes I suppose, or we'd maybe have seen it here.

A (very) decent chance we get a batch of consumer cards at 12nm still I'd think.

 

[Braznor]

In my opinion, the TItan V is more a less expensive professional card than an ultra premium gaming card. Prices may be creep further upwards, but not as drastically as you doomsayers think it might.

 

[Braznor]

Nvidia may be ruthless, but it sure ain't stupid. Nvidia knows there can be only as much blood that can be milked from a cow before it drops dead.

It would be 10FF if they release something this year. They would have released by now if they were using 12FFN.

 

[Qwertilot]

Not especially if they're releasing in a month or two & were waiting for stuff like gddr6, a fully polished process etc.

We'll see.

The Quadro GV100 is in the Nvidia Shop at $9k usd and it allowed me to put one in the shopping cart. So in the shopping cart it says shipping is 3-5 days standard and 2 days for faster delivery. WTH they're shipping? Can anyone check if this card is really available for shipping? Btw I'm not going into debt to get one. At least not until one of us tests it for fps in games.

Edit: If anyone says I'm a little dense for not realizing the card is shipping that's ok. Because since it's shipping if it is shipping then maybe one of you can buy one a little and test it a little. On games. If you do and it's 20% faster than a V or a 1080ti I'll get my dad's ok to buy one using our joint bank account.

TSMC 10FF has been available for some time now. The iPhone 8 shipped with it.

SK Hynix will have its GDDR6 go into production in 3 months... Ugh! Hopefully Samsung is quicker, because we do want Samsung, don't we boys and girls?

Meanwhile there is 0 inventory.

Oh please. You could buy a decent car for 9k. Nvidia needs to shove every one of those cards where the sun don't shine. Straight up. 18 months from now Nvidia will be saying how this card is now old and they'll be pushing their new card for probably $12,000.

 

[Chaotic42]

$9,000 isn't a terrible price for that. Depending on your workload, CUDA can be an absurd timesaver.

Big Volta Comes to Quadro: NVIDIA Announces Quadro GV100

Must be the Tensor cores...

Wonder if this is the real 1180Ti or will they release something better after?

GeForce Edge is another service that the company is introducing with the 1180 Ti and it comes in three tiers. Tier 3 unlocks the boost clock functionality of your GTX 1180 Ti, Tier 2 unlocks half the GDDR6 memory on your card while Tier 1 unlocks half of the ROPs on your card. Each tier costs $29.99 a month. Then there’s the GeForce Edge Plus subscription which unlocks all the hardware on your card and costs $69 a month.
Without GeForce Edge the GTX 1180 Ti will only have access to have its memory, half its ROPs and no boost functionality

We're laughing now, but just wait

According to GN Samsung is already cranking put GDDR6, however it is SK Hynix that is the primary next generation partner. An odd choice considering the former has faster chips.

It does seem weird that the faster and more readily available chips wouldn't be the memory of choice, but maybe pricing, exact release timing, and pre-existing contracts or agreements are dictating the situation.

If Nvidia hits their performance targets with 12-14ghz, why do they care about samsungs 16-18ghz memory?

 

[Konan]

There is also Micron too - where are they at, have they gone into mass production for GDDR6 yet?

No word on that yet AFAIK.

Yeah could be.

Nvidia is known to start with Samsung and then switch to lower spec Hynix down the road to meet demand. I want the fast Samsung tbh.

Wow that is slow!

How long after Pascal was released did we start seeing high end custom cards? If there's a launch in July/Aug, are we talking October?

I just sold my 1080ti and will use the 1080 that Gigabyte (I'll never buy another Gigabyte product) sent me as the 4th replacement for bad 1070s they keep sending out until it finally dies.

Hoping to pickup an 1180 since it should be a little bump from the 1080ti, may mine decent and will be energy efficient.
