What is probably the first tangible (and reliable) leak for Ampere GPUs after their certification almost a year ago has surfaced. Taiwan’s leading publication has confirmed that NVIDIA’s Ampere GPUs will be launching in 2020 and will be based on the Samsung 7nm EUV process. This is very very interesting news for us, not only because it tells us about NVIDIA’s roadmap but it also reveals some very pertinent details about the process.
We have previously heard of NVIDIA’s Ampere GPUs when they passed their ECC certification but nothing more came up since then. Now however, we have a tentative timeline: they will be launching in 2020. It is highly likely that NVIDIA will continue on their RTX philosophy and take that to the next level with Ampere. Right now, the Turing GPU is capable of raytracing at the 1080p 30 fps for light to moderate path tracing workloads. The Ampere GPU will be able to go further.
