TSMC retreives substantial orders from NVIDIA for 5nm and 7nm GPUs
This round its Digitimes that spreads the word that TSMC obtained major orders from Nvidia for their next-gen 7nm and 5nm GPUs, sources claim that is.
Speculation is circulating that Samsung Electronics' 5nm EUV process has attracted orders from Nvidia for its next-generation graphics processor series, but sources familiar with the matter believe TSMC will remain the major foundry partner of the chip produces says TSMC.
That's a good signal for the availability of the new GPUs really, as the production tarts then indeed Q3/Q4 2020 seems viable for new graphics cards. Considering what is and has been going on in the world, that is plausible. NVIDIA is expected to reveal a few words on their next-gen graphics architecture at the GTC 2020 online event held in about two weeks from now, Nvidia would have their chips fabricated at both Samsung and thus TSMC.

I can see gpus becoming a special case as well, especially when it comes to nvidia. Remember the time when Titan cards ware 1,000$? We though that was so expensive.
The CPU's are special case and the GPU is a Titan RTX card.

Pro Tip, stay at 1080p or 1440p @ 60 FPS so you only have to a buy a 3060/3070.
No need for a $1500-1800 GPU to have a good experience.

not going out and eating canned foods helped me spare the probable 3000$ that the 3080Ti will cost
still buying one anyway
my 1080Ti is getting 98% usage in most of the games I play that's not good insane heat generation in my case from a 300Watts videocard (117% power limit)
as a car owner I also understand that driving at the rev limiter all the time is bad for fuel economy and performance (kinda like modern cpu/gpu if it gets hot it reduces performance to prevent damage)
Same here :p, ever since I got my 3900X platform upgrade last year, in every modern game my 1080Ti sits at 98-99% usage, even see the "100%" in games like Shadow of Tomb Raider or Jedi Fallen Order. But yeah, g-sync and max eye candy @1440p does that to GPUs I guess.I like that I can squeeze it so hard over 3 years after purchase, OCed since day 1 too. But yeah, it does feel a bit like driving over the speed limit 24/7, lol.

As long as this order does not effect the order that AMD already has in and is or will be producing, I am happy with this.
I reckon from everything I read that the AMD CPU line should be just fine, regardless of how much Nvidia has ordered. They didn't just blindside TSMC with this, it's been a long time coming. Otherwise, Nvidia wouldn't be in a very good spot (nor AMD) if no one could produce the chips they need, when they need it.
Haha the prices you guys talking about here
If they come with anything near that, its dead on arrival. Sorry to break it to you, but we are at the start of the biggest economy recession and lots of ppl will think really well if 1000 usd, 500 usd or 400 usd is something they are willing to dish at the uncertain times like that.
Ofc, if you save 3k usd just by doing nothing, than yea, get 3080ti... all 10 of you.
And I wish you that success, dont get me wrong, Im happy you have the money.
Right now, for the folks that DO have the money, will hoard that cash like no tomorrow - then you put it on stock when the market is down and stocks not worth much.
You certainly wouldn't want to blow it on tech that depreciates as fast as a car. I have some long-term investments that aren't doing too well right now, though I wouldn't say bad. I can surely say they're doing a whole lot better than if I squandered it all on fancy PC parts like 1500$ video cards or 1000$ motherboards (that's really out of line for both). Maybe if we do get a recession or depression out of this, it'll bring these companies back into reality with pricing a bit as may the competition, as prices have gone a wee bit out of control.
