Not a bad theory and aligns with board partners scrambling at the zero hour to get cards out the door and shipped. The whole thing could have been prevented had Nvidia not gotten greedy and just paid up for TSMC from the off, but this definitely sort of blew up in their faces. If the Big Navi release is within spitting distance of the 3080 and reasonably priced I'm selling my 3080. Kind of tired of the Nvidia schtick anyways and have had great success with my last 2 AMD CPU's. Think they're committed, finally, with getting the GPU right.
Or the yields from the Samsung process just suck, and that's why there's so few boards available.Lol, just more "hay guyz this is just a normal launch lulz"
NVIDIA will shift over to TSMC for new 7nm Ampere GPUs in 2021
NVIDIA will reportedly shift over most of the workload of producing 7nm Ampere GPUs to TSMC, away from Samsung 8nm right now.
Nvidia to shift RTX 30 GPUs to TSMC 7nm in 2021, says report
Currently all Nvidia GeForce RTX 30 GPUs are fabricated by Samsung on 8nm.
So a year or less after launching your new shiny flagship GPU's (of which almost nobody has managed to get a month after launch b/c Samsung suxxors), you're not only adding a 20GB model 3 months later, but a year later you plan to completely kill your flagship by moving to a better more efficient node?
This is the biggest clusterfuck launch I've ever seen in the graphics space, and that smug dbag MLID has been right on the money about this thing since jump street.
Bring on Big Navi, AMD will never have a better opportunity to capture market share than they have right now. Maybe they know that hence them taking their sweet time showing the goods.
"Shovel something out" doesn't really match up with the large performance uplift over the previous generation.
Then the 3090 doesn't make sense. 15% more performance for double the price is only a smart move when you are trying to fleece your most loyal fans. But I bet they will be pissed If they find out the Titan with TSMC 7nm and double the RAM was kept back for later.
