The next nvidia 'ampere' graphics cards at 7nm will arrive in 2020

News had already emerged about Nvidia's Ampere architecture, which would arrive after Turing. This was discussed in April, and new information from TweakTown suggests the same roadmap again.

NVIDIA 'Ampere' GPU at 7nm will arrive in 2020

The new generation of Ampere graphics cards is already being developed by Nvidia, as successors to the Turing architecture that have been launched a few months ago. This new architecture will only come out next year (2020) with a 7 nm process node. The new Ampere graphics cards could be manufactured by Samsung with its 7nm EUV node, according to the latest information.

Nvidia would use Samsung's new 7nm extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography process, which uses a plasma laser to drive the silicon material to 7nm transistor structures. The new GeForce RTX and Quadro RTX graphics cards are manufactured with a 12nm process thanks to TSMC, and Nvidia is no stranger to working with Samsung for the production of GPUs. AMD will feature the world's first 7nm GPU ahead of Nvidia, with the launch of its new Navi GPU in mid-2019, according to industry sources. NVIDIA's new 7nm GPU architecture could end up being Ampere, which will replace the current Turing GPU architecture within the new RTX cards.

The year 2019 should be calmer for Nvidia, which is trying to launch all the possible GPU variants of the Turing architecture in the mid and low range, which are the ones that are missing. On the other hand, AMD should animate this segment with its Navi architecture, which we hope can compete with Turing.
