NVIDIA GeForce "Ampere" GPUs Built on Samsung 8nm Instead of TSMC 7nm?
NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce "Ampere" family of GPUs will be built almost entirely on Samsung's 8 nanometer silicon fabrication process that's derived from its 10 nm node; rather than TSMC's 7 nm process, according to kopite7kimi, a source with a high hit-rate with NVIDIA rumors in the past. The 8LPP silicon fabrication node by Samsung is an extension of the company's 10LPP (10 nm) node. Both have the same fin pitch, but reductions are made in the areas of gate pitch (down by 6%) resulting in a transistor density of over 61 million/mm². Apparently NVIDIA's entire high-end product stack, including the GA102 silicon that powers at least three high-end consumer SKUs, are expected to be based on Samsung 8LPP.

The 6900K consistently edges out the 1800X most of the time from rendering to gaming.
Why don't you compare with Core i7-6700K or Core i7-7700K, or with Ryzen Threadripper 1950X?
You choose.
No reviewer I saw said the 1800X beat intel In Game's.
Games do not work well on Core i7-6900K since it's not with ring bus.
I don't know why you would repeat gaming when it's not useful unless in niche gaming market.
No one with the right mind buys LGA-2011v3 to play games on it.
And your on crack if you think no benchmark useful, as an engineer and ATM a test engineer, that's the biggest load of balls you ever stated, not that I am or would bother tracking your nonsense.
And game's run fine, you are just leaning on one data point, I'm not.
You're a meme dude.
Comparing AM4 with LGA 2011-v3 and claiming AM4 loses is like comparing VW Golf with Mercedes S Maybach and claiming the Mercedes is better which is nonsense because they have very different purposes to begin with.
I lie, I said none of that.
you're comparing CPU in a thread about GPU with one shit benchmark, that's what I commented on.
Call me a lier , What.
How's about we skip this tat and get back on topic.
8nm Ampere or 7nm on Tsmc, given Nvidia tried to low ball Tsmc I think this could be valid, and could possibly have ramifications.
The point is and still stands - AMD needs a real product in order to compete, something that AMD doesn't have currently.
Their financial situation was so dire that 3 years ago they were almost bankrupt, their stock was $2.
Now, it's higher than $50.
Because of the halo created by the superior to Intel's microarchitectures Zen architecture.
Everything else argues by you and the other guy is pure trolling.
Halo , ill go with that, still effin off topic nonsense.
He started with the claim that companies don't need "best" products in order to make money. Which isn't and can never be true.
Deeply sorry, I take it all back.
Anyway, despite the off-topic nature, a few interesting points were made.
And it isn't like AMD isn't without their overpriced halo products. $1,500 Radeon Pro Duo ring any bells?
Nevermind, I just discovered the "ignore" feature, pure gold :cool:
