I believe Nvidia is going Samsung this time around so that's one thing to keep in mind whiling attempting to judge it. I do think that while flagship prices will be higher, the rest of the stack will either be lower or similarly priced as Lovelace but with more performance. After the failure of the 4080 in terms of sales, I highly doubt Nvidia is going to attempt the 80 series at $1200 again. Mix that with lower demand with consumer GPUs due to high prices and economic recession and going Samsung which is supposed to be cheaper than TSMC, I think there's a chance that some of the GPUs will get restructured accordingly.

Given what's stated in the article, Mr. leather jacket already went to TMSC to secure 3nm wafers so, unless Nvidia has decided to split their chips between both TSMC and Samsung (for example going with the former for the bigger and more expensive parts, leaving the rest for Samsung), we have conflicting rumors. Which one to believe?

Also, the 4080 was a failure, true, but that doesn't mean much for the next generation. Nvidia could simply price the 4080 at $1000 instead of $1200 while leaving the rest untouched. It's unlikely, of course, because if the chips are more expensive to manufacture, Nvidia will charge more for them, plain and simple.

Yea we won't really know until it comes out but the article is using old information from October while there are articles from November that says Nvidia, Qualcomm and etc are going samsung which I am more so inclined to believe given the arrogance of TSMC and how behind Radeon is. I don't think Nvidia will overestimate them again if they can go for better margins by going Samsung. They will still be using TSMC for their datacenter imo.

And yea we will have to see what they do but I don't think their current plan is working. While I doubt Radeon is taking away any significant chunks of market share, their volume of sales is certainly down significantly compared to previous generations when looking at JPRs GPU shipment reports which isn't a good thing for them. They will likely want to get back on track so imo either they will want to bring the 80 class back down to $700-$800 or they will have significant performance increases gen on gen.
