AMD CPUs and GPU cards are currently manufactured in 14nm process. The Ryzen CPU will be upgraded to 12nm (Zen +) this year, and the new Zen 2 architecture will use the new 7nm.
GPU, AMD next step will be directly into the 7nm era, the process is the first Vega, but will certainly be optimized to enhance the starting product is not a consumer-level game card, is a new generation of Radeon Instinct Vega specifically for machine learning to create, which is the existing Vega The next generation of the Radeon Instinct MI25.
Specific specifications are not disclosed, but AMD said Radeon Instinct Vega will work with the product-level machine learning software stack to provide a complete development and application environment.
Radeon Instinct Vega 7nm will be sampling this year, the release time did not say.
New NVIDIA architecture These years are also always preferred for high performance computing, machine learning and other areas, such as the Volt architecture is the starting Tesla V100, recently brought a professional Titan V, but their process is 12nm, compared to 7nm Vega worse than an era.
After 7nm Vega will be the next generation of new architecture Navi, but the technology or 7nm; and then is yet to be released yet another generation code, technology '7nm +' is expected to be born around 2020.
