Digitimes has returned to the charge to report the intention of Nvidia to launch its first GPU manufactured in 7 nm this same year 2018. However, it is not specified which market sector this new graphics card will be focused on.

Nvidia prepares at least a GPU manufactured in 7 nm for this year 2018, it could be Turing or Ampere

There has long been speculation that Nvidia has manufactured its Turing-based cores in TSMC's 12nm FinFET process, as the 7nm is not yet mature enough to think of a full-scale launch. Despite this, Nvidia still intends to launch a 7nm GPU before the end of the year. This new 7nm GPU could be based on the Ampere architecture, to succeed Volta in the HPC and artificial intelligence sector.

Another possibility is that Turing is manufactured at 7nm FinFET, something that is not totally ruled out. Jensen Huang himself said at Computex 2018 that the new GeForce are still far away, there is talk of their launch this summer, but none of this has been confirmed so we cannot rule out that these cards arrived towards the end of the year and were manufactured at 7 nm.

For now, nothing really is known about Turing, so everything is possible. The market is still full of Pascal graphics cards after the decline in the popularity of cryptocurrencies, with this Nvidia is in no hurry to put a new generation on the market, the logical thing would be to clean the Pascal stock first, and we have not seen no aggressive offer that indicates they are in a hurry.
