Rumor: NVIDIA GeForce Ampere to be fabbed at 10nm, all cards RTX ?

Rumor: NVIDIA GeForce Ampere to be fabbed at 10nm, all cards RTX ?

We'll probably go back and forth a bit when it comes to the topic of Ampere until NVIDIA lifts all mystery, expected was that NVIDIA's upcoming GPUs would be fabbed at 7nm. However, that fabrication node is over-utilized. NVIDIA could be reverting towards 10nm baked by Samsung.

It's once again Twitter user KittyCorgy (who has a bit of a questionable reputation for these things as never ever he explains how he obtained the info) claims to have information about Ampere GPUs. Remember, it's just some guy posting some stuff, unvalidated with a Twitter account created in January. Anyhow, all cards would support ray tracing and thus be fabricated using a different process than expected, 10nm. We do hope to see some announcements at an NVIDIA GDC live stream presentation from mister leather jacket himself, as yeah .. it's about time eh? We kind of expect an announcement on the GA102 GPU, let's call it GeForce RTX 3080 Ti for now.

Rumored for the consumer products would be a GPU with 84 shader units resulting in 5376 shader cores paired with 12 GB graphics memory and a bus width of 384-bits. based on that bus width we can declare the memory type, that's GDDR6. KittyCorgi also mentioned the GA102 is the only Multi-GPU compatible product and mentioned that at best a 40% uplift in performance can be expected.

It is suggested the biggest improvement would be ray tracing performance, as granted that was the Achilles heel of the current RTX 2000 generation cards. As far as validity and credibility go, all this need to be taken with a grain of salt and then some extra, and then some huge disclaimers in mind, but yeah here it is:

I don't get it. This guy comes out of no where and just starts posting this stuff on twitter and we believe him, why?

You write:
(who has a bit of a reputation for these things)
but what reputation does he have? He has no prior leak history, let alone one that's been shown to be accurate. His account was just created in January. His opinion should weigh just about as much as anyone else on any forum. Why are all the sites looking at this guys post with credibility?

I'm not saying he's wrong or right, I just don't get why every single tech news site is looking at this guy like he's god's gift to leaks. And while I think it's fine to post it as a rumor because others are and I understand the need to want to capture that audience - I think at least part of the post should explain why this is just a rumor and not verifying his credibility when as far as I can tell he has none.

3. Ignores the reality of how RTX works, you can't scale RTX up without scaling up raster too.

According to this 3060 would have the exact same amount of CUDA cores as 2060 (non-super) and even the same 6GB of memory. I hope these particular rumours aren't the truth.

I'm not sure that's entirely accurate. Surely you can scale it that way but you can't tell me there is zero way for them to improve the implementation without increasing the number of RT/SMs. RT seems to touch multiple parts of the chip - there has to be room for optimizations outside of just increasing the number of cores.

Actually I was still editing this story and included precisely that.
