Nvidia ensures that tsmc will be its main provider of gpus in 7 nm

During the GTC 2019 celebration in Suzhou, China, the CEO of NVIDIA responded to the press that the latest generation 7nm GPUs will be managed by TSMC and that Samsung will only play a lesser role than previously reported.
NVIDIA ensures that TSMC will be its main provider of GPUs in 7 nm, Samsung will have a secondary role
The information comes directly from the NVIDIA CEO, who during the media Q&A stated that they will primarily select TSMC for most of their orders for next-generation 7nm GPUs, while Samsung will only receive a smaller number. of orders.
NVIDIA has also stated that its company has had close relationships with TSMC in the past, as TSMC manufactured its previous 16nm (Pascal) and 12nm (Volta / Turing) GPUs. NVIDIA has also highlighted its Turing GPU architecture, which is based on TSMC's 12nm process node and offers greater efficiency and performance than that of 7nm process-based products. The NVIDIA CEO has also pointed out that without the help of TSMC and its advanced processing technologies, they would not have been as successful, so this collaboration with TSMC is very important to them.
This belies previous claims that NVIDIA was leveraging Samsung's 7nm EUV process node for development of its next-generation GPU, but not entirely. Jensen does say that Samsung would continue to receive an order, albeit in lesser numbers than that granted to TSMC.

In the past, Pascal generation GP107 GPUs have been produced by Samsung, while the rest of the Pascal line has been managed by TSMC. Turing's product line was entirely based on TSMC's 12nm FinFET process node, but since NVIDIA's Jen-Hsun Huang has claimed that Samsung would get a small order, we can expect these to be either core products or some custom chip AI / DNN specific like the SOC Orion, which also has a state-of-the-art 7nm GPU built into it.
As the CES 2020 celebration draws near, we might have an idea of what NVIDIA has in its pocket for 2020. We will keep you informed.
