NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40-series Arriving This July?
The next-generation NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40-series "Ada Lovelace" graphics cards could launch as early as July, according to a credible rumor by kopite7kimi. They mention the series debut in "Q3 early," (which implies July). A July debut could mean NVIDIA starts marketing these in earnest by later this month (Computex 2022). The company is expected to launch high-end SKUs first, followed by increasingly higher-volume SKUs in the performance and mid-range segments. A high-end debut could mean the launch of SKUs succeeding the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 just two months from now.

It will mean some happy miners or some sad gamers.
But thats prolly asking too much.:shadedshu:

Here in the EU i see no signs of anything close to MSRP. I paid 650€ (great price at the time btw) for mine and they are now around the same price. Not great for a card that has some time in the market now.
edit: i actually looked now, and it's more like 700€ and more for models with better cooling.
:D :D :D I dont expect newegg will drop as fast as other etailers, they will hang on as long as they can above the average price.
Also, blue valkyrie is about to die!
What this really means is that Intel's launch of the Arc Alchemist series is going to go down like a lead zeppelin.
You barely ever post except for some of this fanboy shit.
Nvidia really doesn't need these things, they seem perfectly capable of creating their own issues :D
And neither does AMD, because they went MCM without your help.
These companies move in wild directions with or without all the nonsense people post about them. Nvidia, AMD, Intel.... same shit different colors.
So these shitlists are pointless. In every time of chip development there is a design win and a design that is yesterday's news. That goes for Intel's Quad that first dominated AMD's pseudo octa's and then got sundered by Ryzen's chiplets. It goes for CUDA that swallowed anything AMD in the GPU department whole and now RTX where Nvidia has a headstart on doing a similar move in gaming, albeit on monolithic dies while again the Zen treatment is moving to GPU. There is an actual choice now in GPU land, its pretty unique really and companies can lie all they want, the results count now and consumers can see it because certain tech will simply work or not work proper.
ALL companies manipulate however they can and try to get away with it, because you can't win every design round. Let's consider AMD's control over console and therefore a vast portion of the PC gaming market as a result of it. There is no question they're pushing buttons there and why do you think Nvidia pushed those refreshed Amperes with improved VRAM? Exactly - they had to as consoles carried more and games started using it quite a bit earlier than expected. We can identify a lot more of that nonsense if we really want to... Go in with lower expectations :D

TSMC also said it a month ago

(Are we sensing the theme yet?)
Intel is a different case, but Samsung or TSMC is based on the contracts for sure, they usually have all the production slots filled years in advance. No one gets a chip made unless they entered a contract with them sometimes years in advance, that's not projections, that's actual contracts. I don't have a quote but i remember TSMC saying for the most appealing process nodes they have all the capacity already sold.
And even Intel must already have some contracts too, they are starting to use their fabs for 3rd parties.
