Gigabyte Registers Four NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 12 GB Graphics Cards With the EEC
The on-again, off-again relationship between NVIDIA and its Turing-based RTX 2060 graphics seems to be heading towards a new tipping point. As previously reported, NVIDIA is expected to be preparing another release cycle for its RTX 2060 graphics card - this time, paired with an as puzzling as it is gargantuan (for its shader performance) 12 GB of GDDR6 memory. Gigabyte has given us yet another tip at the card's expected launch by the end of this year or early 2022 by registering four different card models with the EEC (Eurasian Economic Commission). Gigabyte's four registered cards carry the model numbers GV-N2060OC-12GD, GV-N2060D6-12GD, GV-N2060WF2OC-12GD, and GV-N2060WF2-12GD. Do however remember that not all registered graphics cards actually make it to market.
NVIDIA's revival of the RTX 2060 towards the current market conditions speaks in volumes. While NVIDIA is producing as many 8 nm cards as it can with foundry partner Samsung, the current state of the graphics card pricing market leaves no doubts as to how successfully NVIDIA has been able to cope with both the logistics and materials constraints currently experienced by the semiconductor market. The 12 nm manufacturing process certainly has more available capacity than Samsung's 8 nm; at the same time, the RTX 2060's mining capabilities have been overtaken by graphics cards from the Ampere family, meaning that miners most likely will not look at these as viable options for mining, thus improving availability for consumers as well. If the card does keep close to its expected $300 price-point upon release, of course.

"In 2019, before the full launch of the 7nm process at AMD, Intel was an even bigger customer than that, with a 5.2% revenue share. Last year, in 2020, it accounted for 6.0% of sales, so AMD has already outgrown it with 7.3%. However, Intel will also increase the amount of money spent at TSMC, this year in 2021 it should make 8.2%. That’s just over Broadcom, and if that order really comes true, Intel would paradoxically be the third largest client after Apple and AMD…"

One example, the consoles will stay on a older version and AMD will have a higher % there, but not on the best version for the newest CPU's.
Intel is actually the one ramping up on TSMC in a big way, that's a 70% increase in Intel's share of their wafer production and those are 2021 numbers.
