Nvidia ampere, the successor of turing would arrive within 9 months
Table of contents:
Nvidia has been very quiet since the end of 2018, with the launch of its RTX series, but it seems that the time has finally come for the company to abandon the 12nm process of the Turing series to make the jump to 7nm with Ampere.
Nvidia Ampere aims to be the successor to Turing graphics cards
According to an analyst at Susquehanna Financial Group, the company plans to switch to 7nm within 9 months from today. This means you can expect to launch a 7nm graphics card for the second half of 2020, a timeline that has already been leaked at least 4 times before.
It looks like NVIDIA has finally decided to catch up and will go on to have its own 7nm chips in 2020. Based on what we've heard so far, this will be Samsung's 7nm EUV process and should offer a significant boost in performance from the previous generations (including the 7nm non-TSMC process). 9 months is about 3 quarters, and with a launch in 2020, you will start to feel the impact on third quarter earnings (exactly one year from now). In other words, NVIDIA is working slowly but surely to get Jensen to his coveted record-breaking quarters.
We had already heard of Nvidia Ampere GPUs when they passed EEC certification, but nothing else has come up since then. Now, however, we have a tentative schedule - they will launch in 2020. Nvidia will most likely continue its RTX philosophy and take it to the next level with Ampere. Right now, the Turing GPU is capable of using 1080p 30fps Ray Tracing for light and moderate workloads. The Ampere GPU could go further in this regard, improving the performance of Ray Tracing.

With the step at 7nm, you should see 50% improvements around performance per watt, they estimate. We will keep you informed.
Wccftech fontAmpere will be the successor architecture of turing that will arrive this year
Fudzilla claims he has had access to secret information, and says that Ampere will be the Nvidia architecture to succeed Turing, which will arrive this year.
The nvidia gtx 2080 and 2070 would be based on ampere and not on turing
The GeForce GTX 2080 and 2070 GPUs have just received ECC certification (via KOMACHI). It would be based on Ampere architecture.
Nvidia ampere would be 50% faster than turing with half the consumption
According to the firm, Ampere is supposed to offer up to 50% more performance than the current Turing GPU at half the power consumption.
