Team Green looks like it could push hard for some big upgrades with next-gen GPUs to fend off AMD, and Intel.
Nvidia’s next-gen GeForce graphics cards, presumably RTX 4000 models, are codenamed ‘Lovelace’ (we’ve heard that name before, of course) and have now been finalized, according to the rumor mill. This comes from leaker Greymon on Twitter, who also reckons that the GPUs will be built by TSMC on 5nm – and in a further tweet, the leaker explains that Lovelace products could be made using either TSMC’s straight 5nm process, or perhaps ‘N5P’ (theoretically an enhanced 5nm with better performance). Greymon isn’t sure yet which of these routes Nvidia might travel, and of course, we have to take everything shared here with a good deal of caution, as with anything from the grapevine. There has been some confusion about whether Nvidia might tailor its next-gen graphics cards in reaction to AMD’s RDNA 3 efforts, as VideoCardz, which spotted the above tweet, points out. Renown leaker Kopite7kimi has suggested Nvidia could switch tack, from Lovelace to Hopper GPUs – or AD102 to GH202 respectively – depending on how AMD’s MCM architecture shapes up (remember, the rumor mill has suggested it’s going to be employed with RDNA 3 products).
