You can see many GA104 GPUs seen on a tray waiting for validation. The test program reveals that the GPUs are being validated to the 300 spec, which means GA104-300 GPU and GeForce RTX 3070 series, as posted on twitter.
This particular lines capacity output is ~1,000 per day. Inspections completed and started a few days ago. Validation results are 'excellent', 'qualified' & 'unqualified' the unqualified go back to be re-tested. Also - "tens of thousands" of GA102 coming through.

I really hope AMD knocks it out of the park with their pre release event and then a proper release, it'll be a coup for them if they can get their stuff out before Nvidia supply picks up because how this 'release' has been is a complete sham. Pretty clear its a supply issue more than a demand issue

Yeah. Someone sees a box of chips "here there is stock for all".... Not enough for a single store in reality :p

I think a lot of us want that, but I fear AMD won't fair any better. They have both consoles and also the RyZen 3 processors to share wafers with. That will stretch TSMC output a bit.

Never seen Nvidia try so hard to keep its products in the news, its "oh look dont worry we have plenty of stock to come" which is a bit strange as those chips say Qual sample is that therefore a production run or just a sample run before full scale production?
Rumours of poor yield from Samsung may well be true hence the delay, however I suspect thats to allow Nvidia to release the 3070 at the right price after AMD releases its new cards
