AMD's first 7nm process Vega graphics card NVIDIA will also push 7nm GPU next year

  Two days ago, AMD announced the 7nm process Zen 2 architecture Roman processor and 7nm process Vega 20 core Radeon graphics card at the New Horizon conference. It has already led Intel and NVIDIA in the next generation process.

For gamers, Vega 20 has little to do with everyone. After all, the new technology plus 32GB HBM2 memory memory leads to high cost, and it is impossible to use it for game cards in a short time. AMD's next-generation game card is Navi architecture. Released in 2019, if there is a news, there will be news at CES next year. NVIDIA this year launched a 12-nm Turing GPU, next year will also be 7nm process, a new generation of GPU is reported to be code-named Ampere.

In the report that TSMC's 7nm process won many important customers, Digitimes mentioned that their 7nm process will meet NVIDIA, AMD, Xilinx and 2019 in addition to a large number of orders from Apple, Qualcomm and Huawei/His. Orders from other AI chip suppliers. In short, it is indirectly confirmed that NVIDIA will also have 7nm GPU chip orders next year.

NVIDIA launched the Turing GPU with 12nm technology this year. It mainly has three cores: TU-102, TU-104 and TU106. It has introduced three RTX 2080 Ti, RTX 2080 and RTX 2070 graphics cards, but the Turing graphics card is quite high-end, RTX. 2070 graphics cards are all 3999 yuan and above, the new card price limit also exceeded 10,000 yuan, in short, Turing graphics card is not for the mainstream market.

Despite the rumors of the RTX 2060 graphics card, the RTX 2060 graphics card is still a legend so far, and there is still a lot of uncertainty.

Considering the upgrade cycle, the RTX 2080 Ti, RTX 2080 and RTX 2070 will theoretically be replaced by the end of next year, but mid-to-high-end graphics cards may be the first to use the future 7nm process Ampere architecture. From the progress of TSMC, Once the peak of the mobile processor at the end of this year, there will be more capacity for the 7nm HPC process, and AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards will use this high-performance 7nm process.

In the past few years, AMD and NVIDIA have also experienced the use of a new generation of technology to test water on low-end and mid-range graphics cards. However, in recent years, both upgrades have started from high-end products and then spread to low-end graphics cards.
