Next Generation NVIDIA Ampere reportedly to offer 50% more perf at half the power

Next Generation NVIDIA Ampere reportedly to offer 50% more perf at half the power

An interesting set of quotes have been made in the Taipei Times. This year we expect the NVIDIA Ampere series GPUs to land, and with increased competition from AMD and maybe Intel, they might be beefing up their product performance.

NVIDIA is to launch its new Ampere-based GPU in the second half of this year, leading to a rebound in demand for gaming GPUs and notebook computers after weaker-than-expected sales in the sector last year due to Nvidia digesting inventory. According to Taipei Times, the new GPU based on the Ampere architecture would use 7-nanometer chips, which would boost performance by 50% and halve power consumption. 

It is not exactly clear as to how they came to that math, but we'll happily take it for granted as an expectation. 7-nanometer technology, which would lead to a 50 percent increase in graphics performance while halving power consumption, they said.

Perhaps they figure that slicing the production fabrication in half can double up transistors and this here is where that 50% perf is coming from. 

Accordingly, Nvidia's in-house GTC (GPU Technology Conference, March 22-26, 2020) will initially feature data center GPUs, such as ampere-based Tesla accelerator cards with a focus on scientific computation and artificial intelligence algorithms. This means around Computex in June 2020 the first consumer variants with Ampere chips would see the light of day.

There is nothing wrong with that, thats how it used to work. Every generation the bar jumps up one slot. The new x70 beats the old x80, the new x80 beats the old x80 Ti.
The 1080 destroyed the 980 Ti, and the world was happy.


You're right and I would be happy if that happened, but last gen showed us some bad signs from both Nvidia and Amd...
They're saying... we're closing to the edge of what we can do with perf increase because of limits of silicon... and we will swallow it... though ofcourse most of us won't see a big need to upgrade our tech then and they might lose profits.
Anyway I hope that Turing was just a scare after "Mining Hell".

They just doubled RTX cores which is the most underwhelming step possible. Price will be x 1.25
Enjoy

50% increase is not unheard of, Pascal for example was about 50% faster then Maxwell, ie. a 1070 vs 970 (usually > 50% even), or a 1080 vs 980 (slightly below 50%). And real competition (on the high-end, not value market) hasn't been seen here for a while.
In fact, when the 20-series launched, people complained rather loudly how the increase was not the 50% they got with Pascal.

Even a 2080 Ti isn't enough to run 4K on max quality and at decent speeds, nevermind with RTX, the 50% increase is needed to make that a reality, and NVIDIA knows this. If they want to push RTX forward, they need to make it faster, so it makes sense for them to push as far as they can, and by the time the 30-series comes out, it will have been almost 2 years.

Yeah, if the 50% is for RTX specifically, they would definitely do it if they can. As it is currently, I don't believe RTX card owners are too happy with the RTX performance.

I should have said I was only considering the traditional performance. Perhaps I was too negative there as well. Who knows.

I want 100% more power, even if it's 300w tdp. Cooling GPU's is easy :D
The old Evga 780ti classified could draw 650w with Evbot. Was possible to cool with cold water :p

And maybe half the price :D
