NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 “Blackwell” GPUs Make the most of TSMC 3nm Course of, DisplayPort 2.1 Help

NVIDIA’s next-gen GeForce RTX 50 “Blackwell” GPUs are anticipated to make the most of the most recent TSMC course of node whereas adopting the DisplayPort 2.1 customary.
Subsequent-Gen NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 GPUs Based mostly On 3nm Blackwell Core Structure, Help For DisplayPort 2.1 Customary Anticipated
New revelations by Kopite7kimi reveal that NVIDIA is prepping its Blackwell GPUs which will likely be utilized by the GeForce RTX 50 “Gaming” lineup and are going to be constructed upon TSMC’s 3nm course of node.

If we do a comparability between the N5 (4N Optimized 5nm variant for NVIDIA), the most recent 3nm course of expertise would provide a 25-30% discount in energy, 10-15% extra efficiency per transistor, 42% discount in space and a density improve of 1.7x. These are fairly substantial good points over the present 5nm node which provides some wonderful efficiency per watt (effectivity) within the current GeForce RTX 40 “Ada Lovelace” lineup so we will solely anticipate NVIDIA’s effectivity lead over its competitors to additional improve.
NVIDIA’s HPC/AI-oriented “Blackwell” GPUs are additionally anticipated to make the most of the 3nm course of node from TSMC together with the most recent HBM3e reminiscence options. In the meantime, NVIDIA’s gaming-focused playing cards will likely be utilizing the GDDR7 reminiscence resolution as lately speculated. This is able to be the primary time after some years that each the HPC and Gaming sides of households characteristic an structure beneath the identical naming conference.

In addition to the method node expertise, NVIDIA can also be anticipated to make the most of DisplayPort 2.1 expertise in its next-gen graphics card which can deliver it on par with AMD’s Radeon RX 7000 GPUs which were providing it since final 12 months. The exclusion of DP 2.1 on the GeForce RTX 40 GPUs was a significant bummer but it surely appears like NVIDIA will likely be supporting the most recent applied sciences in its upcoming graphics structure. As for launch, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 “Blackwell” GPU structure is predicted to debut both in late 2024 or early 2025.
