Nvidia to use Samsung 14nm process of future GPUs

[WYP]

Nvidia is rumoured to using Samsung's 14nm process node of future GPUs, showing that there an be no true enemy when it comes to business.

Interesting, let's see where this will lead to, and if it'll really mean better performance.

Both AMD and Nvidia should have switched to someone else about 1.5 years ago after the 20nm TSMC process went from bad to skipped... I hope AMD's high management make a good decision this time as it might be a final nail in the coffin.

I know this will never happen but.. you'd figure Intel could really really make some money off deals like these. They got the fabs to do so. They are working on 10nm.. no one else could say that.

But in reality TSMC has been struggling. They should have canned 20nm when it went bad and focused on 16nm.

TSMC? :huh:...

TSMC? :huh:...

They are a fab. A lot of the big companies out there are fab-less and basically create the designs. TSMC is a fab that will actually make the chips.

As hmmblah said they are a fab. Fab meaning they fabricate/create designs. Example, Nvidia/AMD both show TSMC there designs and then they communicate on which node to make them on, make prototypes, more prototypes, etc. until they make a consumer product like a 290x. Pretty sure they also make PCBs for them too, though i could be wrong. Never looked into that side of things.

i know they are doing this to save a bit of money but i hope the performance isnt lacking.
