Nvidia Claims to Work with Samsung on AMPERE Cards

The basis of the competition in the computer components market in recent years was new architectures and new production techniques. Smaller silicone structures It enabled the production of faster and more efficient models.

NVIDIA's TMSC's new generation GeForce Ampere family cards 7nm It was expected to use the structure. kopite7, a source that was not wrong about NVIDIA before, reported that the company 8nm Samsung He claimed that he would use silicones.

Samsung nodes are shrinking

Nodes Samsung has used before to 10 nm size Although it has the size of the new system, its size will be reduced by 20 percent and down to 8 nm. different in design significant changes will also be carried out. 

The layer height determined by Samsung for both nodes is the same. door height reducing by 6% The company thus manages to increase the transistor density to over 61 million per square millimeter. apparently NVIDIA, in new generation graphics cards, including the top group called premium Samsung 8LPP will use.

On the other hand, the possibility of using different structures on different cards is not off the table yet. GA100 model TMSC 7nm While it was produced with Samsung 8LPP may have been preferred for GA 102. There is not much difference between the transistor density of TMSC and the density of 8LPP. 

Electrical properties unknown

In determining the properties of the cards electricity consumption and infrastructures also play an important role. Infrastructure that is not adequately and properly nourished cannot perform at full performance, no matter how good it is. So which structure it will be better It's hard to say right now. 

If NVIDIA manages to close the gap with AMD a little more Intel's It can also increase competitiveness in the processor market. This will help us see more affordable high-end hardware in the future. GeForce Ampere It seems like we will definitely see information about it in the not too distant future.
