Nvidia ampere would be 50% faster than turing with half the consumption

Chinese firm Yuanta Securities Investment Consulting has some very juicy details about Nvidia's next-generation code-named Ampere GeForce graphics cards. According to the firm, Ampere is supposed to offer up to 50% more performance than the current Turing GPU at half the power consumption.
Nvidia Ampere is the new generation of Nvidia GPUs for 2020
It is no secret that Ampere will come out of the oven with a 7nm node. Unlike AMD, which remains loyal to TSMC, Nvidia will use TSMC and Samsung factories to produce the company's 7nm graphics cards.
Nvidia is currently one step behind AMD in terms of process nodes. Turing is based on TSMC's 12nm FinFET manufacturing process, while rival Navi is already reaping the rewards of the 7nm node. However, Nvidia will reach parity with AMD in the second half of this year, as that is when the arrival of the Ampere is planned, according to Yuanta. AMD has yet to launch its high-end Navi GPU, but if Ampere performs as Yuanta says, the Red Team is going to have a big problem on their hands.
Ampere fits within Nvidia's two-year deadline for the launch of a new GPU microarchitecture. If Yuanta's deadline is exact, Nvidia will likely announce Ampere at the annual SIGGRAPH conference, held in August. Nvidia had previously announced that Turing would be featured at SIGGRAPH, so it stands to reason that his successor will be featured at the same location.
Sales of gaming graphics cards and laptops are expected to increase when Ampere arrives. Of the many Nvidia partners, MSI should benefit the most, as 60% of the company's sales originate from the video game sector. According to data collected by Yuanta, MSI has most of the pie in the gaming sector, ahead of other major manufacturers, such as Asus, Dell, Lenovo and Acer.

On a smaller scale, Asus and Gigabyte will likely also benefit from Nvidia's future Ampere offerings. Both brands get up to 30% of their income from video game products.
It seems that we will have a hectic 2020, with a new generation of high-end graphics cards, both from AMD and Nvidia. We will keep you informed.
