NVIDIA RTX 3000 Ampere cards might be built on Samsung’s 8nm process instead of TSMC’s 7nm node

Tipster @kopite7kimi recently stated that NVIDIA's upcoming Ampere RTX 3000 series cards will be manufactured on Samsung's 8nm process, not TSMC's 7nm node. While this is unlikely to have performance implications this far down the line, it does mean that AMD will retain process leadership for another generation.

Extremely unfortunate for gaming laptops. Cooling isn't gonna evolve like lithography and performance almost solely relies on improved efficiency because most form factors can't squeeze any more wattage into the graphics. In that sense Nvidia would be under threat to lose the performance leadership in laptops.

The rumor originally was the higher end GPUs would be on 7nm while the 3070 and lower would be on Samsung's 8nm.

Indeed, it was reported on this very site. I come almost every day but occasionally miss articles for some reason...

In other words it's more likely that GA103 or smaller would be 8nm, slight relief.
