is this a sign that semiconductor scaling is completely dead now?
- adrian_b 2y agoNot yet, but the NVIDIA RTX 5000 (Blackwell) series does not use a newer manufacturing process, so their energy efficiency is slightly worse than that of the RTX 4000 SUPER (Ada) series, which remain the most efficient GPUs (e.g. RTX 4080 SUPER). The RTX 5000 (Blackwell) series has increased the performance only by using bigger chips and a higher power consumption. The RTX Pro Blackwell series use the same chips as the consumer series.
