@Hilbert Hagedoorn: Where did you find it's made on 7nm? the reports are that it's Samsung's 8nm (10nm+). Suddenly you report it's 7nm without a valid source. I would like the see the source for this.

TW= Taiwan/TSMC 7nm ?

Some TU102/TU104 chips have "Korea" stamped on them but they are all made in TSMC, Taiwan. I think that stamp is related to packaging/assembly, not foundry.

Yeah, it's usually stamped where the package is assembled and not where the die is fabricated.

Rumors about these things are still all over the map even a week before launch. The only thing I believe is true at this point is that all of the cards at the current price points are going up by $100 USD. The 2080Ti replacement goes to $1400, the 2080 to $800, and the 2070 to $600. There is also a rumored card at the $2000 price point, and there's a lot of speculation that the card pictured above (with a fully/nearly fully unlocked die and maximum RAM) will sit at, with a version with half as much RAM and a few more blocks turned off sitting at the $1400 point, which matches the current 2080Ti and RTX Titan.
The other consistent rumor is the performance, stating a one step increase plus 35% (so a 3070 will be 35% faster than a 2080, a 3080 will be 35% faster than a 2080Ti, and a 3090 will be 65% faster than a 2080Ti), but those numbers are REALLY high and I will believe them when I see some reviews. If true, that $100 step up will probably be worthwhile, since it makes the 3070 and 3060 a bargain at their price points compared to the current cards (which isn't too hard, since the 2000 series were never a good deal for the money).

If the A100 is already a 7nm TSMC manufactured ships, that's all the more credible indeed. We'll see soon enough anyway.
Interesting Ampere info from the A100 whitepaper btw:

I wonder which games will be featured during the presentation on 1st Sept. CP2077?

This could be TSMC, and 7nm.
It could also be a Limited Edition 3090 Founders Edition 24GB, with the Freaky cooler.
Put Limited Edition on something, and it will sell, even at $1400 w/o Tax.
GA104 could be Samsung, ie : The Majority of the Sales.

with all the rumours flying all over the place i would not be surprised if they use a variety of nodes to make the next gen cards maybe even still 12nm for the low end cards 8nm for the mid-range and 7nm for the top tier cards. In the end its the performance vs cost that matters.

Anybody have a guess on die size? 680mm² to 700mm² ?
I'm not sure why they need that new power connector (if this model has it) , i'm seeing this as a 300W TDP card.
Maybe when the RT cores are active they use an extra 100W?
pharma
A100 is 826mm².

I dont think the image is real, the white writing looks superimposed.

Not entirely certain why people think this. There's nothing funky about it at all, and gpu model numbers have been white in the past.
