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.

If Nvidia switch to TSMC it's likely to make the capacity at TSMC even more strained than it already is.
You can't sell any cards if you can't manufacture the chips to go in them.

the fact they ordered 5nm capacity desn't mean it's for geforce cards.

If Apple's orders have switched to the 3nm process by then, it would free capacity from the 5nm production line.

leakers don't know jack a year before launch
a year before ampere they were sure it's 7n
and they didn't know about doubling shader count until reviews came out
this k7k guy is supposed to be reputable,but tell me,what has he revealed about nvidia in the last +12 months that eventually happened ?
ga103 skus,7nm refresh,double vram,super skus - where are they ?
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.
