That’s according to prominent leaker kopite7kimi, who is “100%” confident about these Ampere-based GPUs leveraging Samsung’s less advanced 8 nm process instead.

Naturally, this can’t be verified until NVIDIA’s official RTX 30-series announcement (which should only be a few months away), but the allegation isn’t all that far fetched based on some of the previous rumors...

Meh who cares what the are built on really. Matters what it does.

It's a new chip on a new process for nvidia so should be interesting to see results
