Next-gen Nvidia GPUs to boast TSMC technology
In a statement, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang confirms that the company's next-generation GPU will be manufactured by TSMC.
During a Q&A session at Computex, Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, made a significant announcement, stating that the company's upcoming next-generation graphics processing units (GPUs) will be manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). This revelation highlights Nvidia's collaboration with TSMC and signals a notable strategic shift in GPU production for Nvidia.
Nvidia's next-gen GPUs to boast TSMC technology
In a press briefing held in Taipei, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang expressed his confidence in relying extensively on Taiwanese Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) for chip production, amidst the current geopolitical concerns surrounding Taiwan's potential military threat from China. During the Q&A session, Huang assured reporters that his company's next-generation chips will be manufactured by TSMC, emphasizing the perceived safety and reliability of this strategic partnership in the prevailing circumstances.
Presently, Nvidia relies on TSMC's advanced process nodes for the fabrication of its GPUs, and this trend is anticipated to persist in the coming years. At the Computex 2023 event, Nvidia revealed its GPU roadmap, indicating the arrival of Hopper-Next chips in 2024.
While rumors suggest the utilization of the 3nm process node for these upcoming GPUs, no definitive plans have been confirmed. Additionally, industry speculation points to the codename 'Blackwell' for these next-generation GPUs, although this information remains subject to change.
The architectural naming draws inspiration from David Harold Blackwell, an influential American mathematician and statistician renowned for his noteworthy contributions to various fields including game theory, probability theory, information theory, and statistics.
