Nvidia's Ada Lovelace GPUs are manufactured on TSMC's 5nm process rather than Samsung's.
Kopite7Kimi, a well-known Nvidia GPU enthusiast follower, has shared an interesting detail on the future Ada Lovelace GPUs. The entirely new architecture would be based on TSMC's 5nm fabrication technology.
Previously, the tweeter acknowledged that the Ada Lovelace design will be constructed using the 5nm technology, but it was expected that Samsung would produce it. If the report is right, Nvidia will return to TSMC for their 5nm process, which will almost certainly result in the production of at least one high-end GPU series.
Additionally, Kopite7kimi indicated that Ada Lovelace GPUs would come earlier than planned, though no specific date has been provided as the timeframe is still unknown. According to reports, the upcoming GPU series is expected to launch between the second and fourth quarters of 2022. Nvidia may have an earlier than projected mass production start date, therefore the launch could occur in the second quarter of 2020.

Their strategy is to throw as much random crap at the wall, until something sticks.
Then they will make an article or a video, saying they were right. And people not paying attention, will ignore all the thousands of things they said wrong.
It's no longer about reporting news. It's about creating news and pretending they will become real.
I cant blame them they make a decent living from doing this. For us its about knowing what is real or isn't.

if true i wouldn't be surprised as TSMC has greater yield and density @5n
but i'm more than a bit skeptical especially as as far as gpu is concerned, as Samsung has far greater availability @5n earlier in the production queue.
at 5n Sammy is just making Exynos (which still isn't as good as Qualcomm Snapdragon) and custom memory when Sammy thought it would have a deeper production queue. Sammy needs high profile customers like Nvidia just to prove they can compete while being a distant third ('tho 2nd @ node) fab

priced "reasonably"
yeah, that is gone with the wind, once a company realizes it can sell you a card that was pretty profitable at ~500$ for 2000$, there is no economical logic to go back to selling it at previous prices... we are in this room now and we aint getting out. :/

With Intel entering the game, theoretically prices could drop somewhat. AMD seems happy with its 20% market share and not overly eager to try to gain more, but Intel will start from 0%, which it obviously needs to raise. Price would be the primary attraction, unless Intel does intels and bribes all the OEMs to include primarily Intel video cards in pre-builts. That would be quite a market right off the bat. How realistic that would be? Who knows.

For over a decade now, all of nVidia's architectures use the name of a scientist.
Ada Lovelace is now in the list.
