Nvidia volta will also be manufactured at 16nm
Table of contents:
Nvidia has been released with the manufacturing process at 16 nm with its Pascal graphics architecture in a very successful way with the GeForce GTX 1080 and GTX1070, some rumors pointed out that its successor, Nvidia Volta, would make the jump to a more manufacturing node advanced but ultimately it will not be.
Nvidia Volta will focus on improving and optimizing architecture without a nm jump
Some rumors pointed out that Nvidia Volta would arrive based on the process at 10 nm TSMC but finally they will do it with the same 16 nm Pascal so all the effort will be focused on improving and optimizing the architecture. With this we are facing a situation very similar to the one we experienced with the jump from Kepler to Maxwell and with which Nvidia managed to achieve an impressive level of energy efficiency.
Pascal has already shown itself as a very solid architecture manufactured in 16 nm and capable of reaching very high operating frequencies without hardly increasing energy consumption, something that allows its graphics cards to easily exceed 2 GHz and that would be even more if not had the voltage blocked. With further optimization , Volta's energy consumption will be even lower, so we could be talking about chips that approach 3 GHz in operation, although this is already speculation.
Nvidia Volta will be the new architecture of the company that will arrive to compete with AMD and its new VEGA chips manufactured in 14 nm FinFET by Global Foundries and that will make use of the new stacked memory technology HBM2, supposedly Nvidia Volta will also use this same technology of memory.
Volta will not arrive until 2017 so we will still have to wait to see what the new Nvidia architecture is capable of.
