I believe nvidia doesn't use TSMC or not only use TSMC.
- mkaic 5y ago30 series Nvidia cards are on Samsung silicon iirc
- monocasa 5y agoYeah, Samsung 8nm, which is basically Samsung 10nm++++.
- abraae 5y ago10nm--?
- monocasa 5y agoThe '+' in this case is a common process node trope where improvements to a node over time that involve rules changes become Node+, Node++, Node+++, etc. So this is a node that started as Samsung 10nm, but they made enough changes to it that they started marketing it as 8nm. When they started talking about it, it wasn't clear if it was a more manufacturable 7nm or instead a 10nm with lots of improvements, so I drop the 10nm++++ to help give some context.
- tylerhou 5y agoThe datacenter cards (which are about half of their revenue) are running on TSMC.
- ayngg 5y agoYeah they use Samsung for their current series but are planning to move to TSMC for the next irrc.
- dathinab 5y agoIndependent of the question around TSMC they are still affected as: - Shortages and price hikes caused by various effect are not limit to the GPU chiplet but also most other parts on the GPU. - Especially it also affects the RAM they are using, which can be a big deal wrt. pricing and availability.
