Description:
Team Green looks like it could push hard for some big upgrades with next-gen GPUs to fend off AMD, and Intel.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Nvidias next-gen GeForce graphics cards , presumably RTX 4000 models, are codenamed Lovelace (weve heard that name before, of course) and have now been finalized, according to the rumor mill.

This comes from leaker Greymon on Twitter, who also reckons that the GPUs
will be built by TSMC on 5nm and in a further tweet, the leaker explains
that Lovelace products could be made using either TSMCs straight 5nm process, or perhaps N5P (theoretically an enhanced 5nm with better performance). Nvidia's RTX 3060 Ti is the best GPU for most people Check out all the best

Greymon isnt sure yet which of these routes Nvidia might travel, and of course, we have to take everything shared here with a good deal of caution,
as with anything from the grapevine. Ada Lovelace is definitely the next generation gaming card, as the entire project plan has been finalized and
will not change. July 24, 2021 See more

There has been some confusion about whether Nvidia might tailor its next-gen graphics cards in reaction to AMDs RDNA 3 efforts, as VideoCardz , which spotted the above tweet, points out. Switching tack?

Renown leaker Kopite7kimi has suggested Nvidia could switch tack, from Lovelace to Hopper GPUs or AD102 to GH202 respectively depending on how
AMDs MCM architecture shapes up (remember, the rumor mill has suggested its going to be employed with RDNA 3 products). MCM or multi-chip module is a chiplet design, as opposed to monolithic (one single chip).

Nvidia could still go the MCM route itself, depending on how powerful it
looks like the rival RDNA 3 GPUs might be, or that was the suggestion from Kopite7kimi. While spec rumors are definitely pushing it at this stage, Kopite7kimi has also floated the idea that the flagship RTX 4000 card will
run with 144 streaming multiprocessors for a maximum of 18,432 CUDA cores.

Greymon, however, seems to pretty firmly believe that Lovelace is now locked in for Nvidia as the next-gen range of desktop graphics cards. As for the release date, Greymon tweeted that it will be no earlier than the end of
2022, perhaps indicating theres even a chance it could slip to early 2023. Analysis

All of this must be treated with a lot more skepticism than normal because
its very early days for Nvidias next-gen GPUs, and as we know, when rumors come far in advance, they are a lot more, shall we say, variable in quality and potential accuracy. Even what Nvidia is currently planning could well change, although Greymons main contention here is that the RTX 4000 series
has now been finalized, of course.

Nvidia purportedly going with TSMC to produce these cards, either on 5nm, or maybe even enhanced 5nm, will be quite a leap, especially with the latter; so the performance boosts coming should be very impressive. Team Green may well be wise to look at pulling all the stops out, though, if AMDs RDNA 3, due
also at the end of 2022 in theory (and on TSMC 5nm), fulfils its promise as outlined on the GPU grapevine . Namely that the low-end next-gen AMD cards will be as good as the most powerful current RDNA 2 cards (like the flagship RX 6900 XT ).

When you further consider that Intel is entering the graphics card arena, maybe later this year, or earlier on in 2022 , with a potentially promising high-end GPU , then its easy to see how Nvidia might want to push hard to maintain its undoubted dominance in the desktop market.
