Geforce gtx 2080 and gtx 2070 will arrive in April with ampere at 7 nm [rumor]

It is almost two years since Nvidia launched its first gaming graphics cards based on the Pascal architecture, the GeForce GTX 1080 and the GeForce GTX 107. Now, new information indicates that their replacements will arrive in April in the form of the GeForce GTX 2080 and GTX 2070 will arrive soon based on a new architecture.

GeForce GTX 2080 and GTX 2070 are coming very soon, they will be based on Ampere and not Volta

The GeForce GTX 2080 and GTX 2070 would hit the market sometime in April, these would be announced sometime in March, and will be the first cards to be based on the new gaming-focused Nvidia architecture, Ampere, which will be manufactured in a process to 7 nm 14 FinFET to offer a leap in energy efficiency and performance compared to Pascal. These two cards will be based on GA204 silicon and will be followed by those based on GA206, GA202, GA207 and GA208 silicon throughout the following months.

Initially, the arrival of Ampere was expected to occur in the month of May, but Nvidia would have decided to advance its launch. This would be linked to the alteration in the production of the GP102 silicon, which has already passed an end of life phase, so it is time to think about its replacement, which will be the GA204 that we will find in the GeForce GTX 2080 and GTX 2070.

The arrival of Ampere means that Volta will never reach the gaming market, of course, Ampere could be a simplified version of Volta, without the elements intended for artificial intelligence such as the Tensor Core, which are useless in games. Another advantage of Ampere will be its manufacturing process at 7 nm vs. Volta's 12 nm, making it more energy efficient and cheaper to manufacture. For now, all this is still a rumor without official confirmation, so you have to take the data with caution.
