NVIDIA Next-Gen Ampere GPUs to arrive in 2020 - based on Samsung 7nm EUV process
If you have noticed the 'super teaser' from NVIDIA, and line that up against what is posted in the topic title, then it's safe to say that the SUPER graphics cards indeed will be a Turing refresh. The big news, however, is that Ampere is looking to arrive in 2020, which sounds like ages away but is next year. It'll be based on 7nm fabrication.
According to sources at Digitimes Samsung's 7-nanometer process should use EUV, making the chips easier to fab. It's not a new rumor, but the fact they have it confirmed does say a thing or two. Historically TSMC always has been NVIDIA's biggest partner, so the fact that the GPUs will be fabbed by Samsung is news as well. TSMC has been fighting on many nodes to keep up with demand though.
That's all I can report about it, next year 7nm EUV NVIDIA Ampere GPUs.

I will be more than happy if we can just do 4k 60fps with HDR in AAA games, and has HDMI 2.1 48Gbps port. Not concerned about RTX features as much.

Oh well, they're making sure there's no step up program from EVGA anymore

Well i have 1080 SLI from 2 years and i think it has more 2-3 yrs life.

Well, that's what I was expecting, so 2020 is likely gonna be my next GPU purchase, but you know what...only if it needs to be and my GTX 1070 isn't cutting it. My only reason to upgrade would be if I stop playing BF1 and progress onto a more modern competitive shooter where I'm still wanting 144fps+ (actually let's call it 177fps considering I'm running my monitor overclocked to 180Hz). Or I might get one to jump on the RTX bandwagon, but I'll see how that pans out in terms of it's visual impact on gaming - thing is I find it really difficult to get into classic single player games, it's too sedate and doesn't have the same excitement as multiplayer, and I'm thinking RTX at 144fps+ at 1080p might be a bit of a stretch for even this 7nm generation, at least if the game is gonna make full or significant use of RTX.

I expect the usual 20% generation gap.

Between which two generations was there a 20% gap?

The increase between 480 and 580 was even less than 20%... but a 20% performance increase would be very disappointing. Imo anything less than a 40% performance increase would be very disappointing.

Probably nVidia's current Turing architecture isn't amenable to TSMC's 7nm production process--or else nVidia didn't want to wait for it--or a combination of the two. nVidia is only a year or so behind AMD in terms of 7nm GPU production--but a year in tech terms is quite a bit. Should be very interesting to see what RDNA brings to the table this year and next @ 7nm with NAVI, post the 7nm RV II. Will be interesting to see what a Samsung-fabbed discrete nVidia GPU looks like, though...!

That wasn't a generational gap - that was basically a refresh. Both are Fermi.

I know, but you said generations, not architectures... and they are different gens, even if the 580 is a refresh. But speaking of new architectures, you are right that no new architecture has provided a 20% performance increase or less. The smallest increase is the 30% provided by Turing... which was also very disappointing.

So 2020 will be a fun year for GPU's. Will have big Navi, Nvidia's 7nm Ampere and Intels Xe. I think I will hold off replacing my GTX 1070 until I see how all this plays out in 2020.

Is a 2080ti 30% faster than a 1080ti? i may have misunderstood that.
Anyhow even if is a 40% gap won't give us 4k 60fps raytraced.
I just wanted to say, i do not expect so much more performance because is 7nm.

Any guessed on how much it will cost to make 21~24 Billion transistor GPU on 7nm EUV?

Not 20%, but less than 30% was the 1000-2000 switch. Which is absolutely poor.

Fingers crossed where 4K @ 60FPS with Ray-Tracing activated will finally be achieved?!..
.....and 2020 can be a great year for the graphics market, where not only Nvidia will launch Ampere, but Intel also will enter the dedicated graphics market with its Xe line, and AMD will launch the second generation of Navi with Ray-Tracing by Hardware.
Hail to consumers!
