| numberwang said: Samsung 8nm node confirmed by pro leaker Kopite7? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSUYzzEfTm4 That would be less than ideal as Samsung 8nm is a power hungry node (used in the Nvidia 3000 GPUs). We would be looking at less than 400MHz GPU clock in mobile mode and maybe 1 Tflop performance. For comparison: Steam Deck has ca. 1.6 TFlops and is produced with the better TSMC 7nm node. One comment explains the main issue: Hey Doc, it's almost certainly not going to be 8nm, simply because 1536 cuda cores at 422mhz already draws 6watts for just the GPU via Nvidia's own numbers and delivers only 1.29TFLOPs, pushing 8 A78C cores even at 1.5w would use 2w, that means for the SoC alone, it would draw 8w, the screen, ram, other components would all draw 3 or 4 watts minimum, but the issue with 8nm is deeper than this, it's the configuration of the chip itself, see a GPU with only 1024 cuda cores at 600MHz would do 1.23TFLOPs, draw about the same amount of power, while also costing much much less. The reality is that Drake is too big of a configuration for these low clocks to make sense economically. It's also worth noting that Kopite7 has specifically gotten nodes wrong, and T239 info wrong, even in your video he had the wrong code name, and thought both Orin and Drake were Ada Lovelace and not Ampere. They are GA10B and GA10F, GA standing for Geforce Ampere, Ada Lovelace is specifically AD10X chips. |
LOL of course it would be the possible worst out come like for the past 20 years. not surprising i wouldn't be surprised if nintendo starting making switch pro and just decided to make the hardware for switch 2 they probably won't have any issues at launch with more then 20 million plus units ready. they probably got a sweet deal.
Where the dude you already lost the bet lol.
