In addition to the new GeForce GTX 1180 drawing cards that Nvidia will release in the summer of 2018, there have also been rumours recently that Nvidia is another 12 NM process technology based on Turing (Turing) architecture GeForce 1170, which may also be GTX 1180 launched shortly after the launch, is still uncertain about the correctness of the rumors, but from Nvidia main competitor AMD (AMD) Mining 7 NM The Vega architecture drawing chip (GPU) has been completed design, or possibly in this 1, 2 years, AMD said it would be worth observing whether Nvidia would push a new generation of products with a 12 nm process, based on the company's upcoming new generation of products using the TSMC 7 nano process design. To maintain competitiveness, skip 12 nm, the direct conversion of the 7 nm process seems to be of strategic value to NVIDIA, but it is considered to be a big bet for Nvidia and, in fact, too urgent from the point of view of the time, so the foreign media think the possibility from the actual situation should be small, it is worth sustained observation. According to the PC GAMESN report analysis, NVIDIA, a possible GPU cooperative manufacturer, has started 7 nm process production operations, such as TSMC General Manager and co-CEO Wei Zhe, said in April, more than 50 products have been planned to be delivered by the end of 2018, products across the mobile, server CPU , network processors, games, GPU, PGA, encrypted currency, automotive to artificial intelligence (AI) and other applications, and TSMC 7 nanometer process has entered the mass production phase. AMD has previously said that the company's upcoming product line will be part of the production of TSMC 7 nano process design, rather than all the globalfoundries manufacturing, and it appears that the AMD7 nano-Vega architecture GPU will also be produced by TSMC. The Zen 2 samples of the AMD2018 7 nm process are expected to be manufactured by GlobalFoundries. From the top, shows that 7 nm process is ready to launch, foreign media believe that the development of advanced GPU technology will not sit idly by the process of such backward competition, but if AMD in 2018 to release any machine-learning (ML) or other applications in the field of 7 NM GPU products, Nvidia is bound to face competition pressure in the next generation of GPU manufacturing processes. If Nvidia's next-generation GeForce GPU is generally expected to be based primarily on the current Volta architecture, this will not be a new design, and Volta will become a more mature GPU design by then. Anyway, for Nvidia, skipping a short-lived 12-NM GPU, the direct attack is expected to extend another two-year cycle of 7 nm process GPU, indeed for Nvidia is very meaningful, although it is still unclear whether Nvidia will do so, but the foreign media analysis, from the actual time may be too tight, And Nvidia is likely to take a higher risk than it is now, so the chances are slim. It is noteworthy that, from the latest outflow of AMD future CPUs, the GPU product line planning blueprint confirms that the AMD7 nanometer Vega GPU architecture has been designed, from the point of view of the AMD Product Planning blueprint, that may be released in 2018 or 2019; A new generation of Navi GPU architecture also 7 nm process, is currently under development, or may be published in 2019;
