Prolific leaker kopite7kimi recently revealed that NVIDIA has delayed its oft-whispered Hopper architecture, which replaces the traditional monolithic design for a GPU that leverages multi-chip modules. Now, a user by the name of WildCracks has chimed in with the possibility that Ampere’s successor will be a new architecture named after popular English mathematician Ada Lovelace, who’s best known for her writings on the Analytical Engine.



kopite7kimi seems confident that the Lovelace architecture will be manufactured on a 5 nm process, but it isn’t clear at this point whether TSMC or Samsung will be tasked to do the job. We recently learned that NVIDIA’s...
