NVIDIA Ampere uses TSMC’s 7nm; Samsung begins work on 5nm chipset production, says report

ChinaTimes in its report said, NVIDIA’s Ampere GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) are going to use Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company’s (TSMC) 7nm process node technology.

However, the next-gen Hopper Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) family would be based on the Samsung 5nm EUV process technology.

Samsung reportedly to start manufacturing 5nm chipsets:

According to the website, Samsung is planning to kickstart production of 5nm chipsets at its plant in Hwaseong, South Korea. The plant is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, besides having the capability to produce chipsets as small as 3nm.

It is worth noting that the world’s second-largest chipset maker has already begun production of 6nm and 7nm Extreme Ultraviolet chipsets.
