Next Generation NVIDIA Ampere reportedly to offer 50% more perf at half the power

Next Generation NVIDIA Ampere reportedly to offer 50% more perf at half the power

An interesting set of quotes have been made in the Taipei Times. This year we expect the NVIDIA Ampere series GPUs to land, and with increased competition from AMD and maybe Intel, they might be beefing up their product performance.

NVIDIA is to launch its new Ampere-based GPU in the second half of this year, leading to a rebound in demand for gaming GPUs and notebook computers after weaker-than-expected sales in the sector last year due to Nvidia digesting inventory. According to Taipei Times, the new GPU based on the Ampere architecture would use 7-nanometer chips, which would boost performance by 50% and halve power consumption. 

It is not exactly clear as to how they came to that math, but we'll happily take it for granted as an expectation. 7-nanometer technology, which would lead to a 50 percent increase in graphics performance while halving power consumption, they said.

Perhaps they figure that slicing the production fabrication in half can double up transistors and this here is where that 50% perf is coming from. 

Accordingly, Nvidia's in-house GTC (GPU Technology Conference, March 22-26, 2020) will initially feature data center GPUs, such as ampere-based Tesla accelerator cards with a focus on scientific computation and artificial intelligence algorithms. This means around Computex in June 2020 the first consumer variants with Ampere chips would see the light of day.

I though 50% more expensive. My bad... :D

Hmm could be, 7nm and a different node than how AMD's doing it (Well did for Navi10 at least.) so lower power requirement seems possible, performance eh well it doesn't seem entirely unreasonable though 50% more than what the 2080 Ti ?
(Well it's probably Turing -> Ampere not specific GPU's though it'll be interesting to see how these stack up once benchmarked whenever they're available.)

EDIT: ...And well that and AMD doing this thing with 3 - 5% performance and some 200mv extra GPU core voltage and yeah.

That's going to be tough to compete at too won't it if NVIDIA is also moving to a more efficient 7nm node now with Amp here.
Well they're already having a bit of a time against Turing so well probably stating the obvious here far as this little metric goes at least. Performance-per-watt or hows it called?

Anyways will be fun to see how things go between Ampy and Navy whenever AMD's and NVIDIA's next GPU's are on the market. :)

There's no benefit for Nvidia to go for 50% more performance just like that. AMD can barely put up a fight, so Nvidia isn't threatened by the market situation, unlike Intel. If the performance really goes up by 50% throughout the product line, the already high prices will also jump majorly. If 3080 Ti really is 50% better than 2080 Ti, I guess it will cost full 2000 euros. Anything below the flagship, I'll be really surprised if they get the 50% muscle increase even if Nvidia could do it.

They compete only with themselves, that they beat AMD is a side benefit of competing with themselves.

They will go for whatever more performance that they can get without concerns of 'too much' or 'too little'.

the 8800 was 100% faster than the 7800 in some cases.
