Up to 50% faster than Turing, and would consume 50% less

It is no secret that Ampere will leave the oven with a 7nm node. Unlike AMD, which remains faithful to TSMC, Nvidia will use the TSMC and Samsung factories to produce the company’s 7nm graphics cards.

As the release date of the next generation of NVIDIA graphics cards approaches, AMPERE, rumors and speculations about it appear. Now, a Taiwan newspaper (Taipei Times) has published an article in which they say that NVIDIA Ampere will be 50% more powerful and consume half that Turing, the current generation of graphics of the brand.

Ampere fits within two years of Nvidia for the launch of a new GPU microarchitecture. If Yuanta’s term is accurate, Nvidia will probably announce Ampere at the annual SIGGRAPH conference, which is celebrated in August. Nvidia had previously announced that Turing would appear at SIGGRAPH, so it is logical for his successor to appear in the same place.

More power and lower consumption is always the goal of graphic card manufacturers, or at least greater energy efficiency. And in this case they are not talking about efficiency (which comes to be higher performance consuming the same), but they talk about Ampere’s electricity consumption will be halved of what Turing consumes, something that would impact not only on the electricity bill but also on operating temperatures, which in turn would give a greater overclock margin or, failing that, to launch graphs with much higher frequencies (or both, of course).
