AMD 20nm GPUs On the Horizon - TSMC Ramping 20nm Volume

According to a Digitimes study TSMC has simply hitting a monthly revenue record, exceeding $2.62 billion for the first time always.
Revenues generated from 20nm production deemed for 10% in Q3. TSMC is ramping upwardly 20nm volume and expects to double 20nm revenue by Q4 to exceed 20% of overall Q4 sales.

AMD confirmed during its second quarter earnings call back in July of this year. That the company has plans to send a myriad of 20nm products in 2022. Including 20nm professional graphics and customer products. AMD'due south at present CEO, and so COO, Lisa Su stated the post-obit :

"20nm is an important node for us. Nosotros will be shipping products in 20nm next year and as nosotros move forrard […]," said Lisa Su, senior vice president and chief operating officeholder of AMD. "If you lot await at our business, it is quite a bit more balanced between the semi-custom, embedded, […] professional graphics […] as well as the more traditional sort of client and graphics pieces of our business. [20nm] technology plays in all of those businesses."

AMD 20nm GPUs On the Horizon - TSMC Ramping 20nm Book

We've reported yesterday that AMD's next generation Fiji XT GPU may very well be ramping. This GPU which is supposedly going to power AMD Radeon R9 390X GPUs, has appeared in Zuaba's import database . Shipping from AMD's graphics business offices in Canada to Hyderabad Republic of india. The shipped item was the PCB assembly for the GPU, likely for testing and validation purposes.

Nvidia is reportedly  planning an introduction of its 'BIg Maxwell" GM200 GPU in 28nm next yr with the 16nm shrink slipping to 2022 due to TSMC's 16nm delays. AMD seems to be following a more traditional granular transition from 28nm down to 20nm and then finally to 16nm.

We've seen possible specifications of GM200 leak into SiSoft Sandra'south benchmark database. According to the entry, GM200 has exactly fifty% more of everything compared to GM204/GTX 980. The retentivity interface is 50% wider, the GPU has l% more than CUDA cores, TMUs and ROPs.

Nosotros still oasis't seen any specifications for Fiji leak yet only I'd look a like fifty% increment in resources compared to Hawaii. Some reports indicate that Fiji will be the starting time GPU to utilize HBM. Which is a 3D stacked "High Bandwidth Retention" co-developed past AMD and SK Hynix. And so it'due south going to be interesting to see how that affects both performance and efficiency.
UPDATE : Possible specifications of AMD'southward upcoming flagship Republic of the fiji islands XT GPU have been leaked, on the same SiSoft Sandra criterion database no less. And our estimation of a 50% improvement over Hawaii along with HBM retentivity has turned out to exist remarkably accurate. Co-ordinate to the leak the GPU will feature 4096 stream processors and 4GB of HBM.

With reports of both Nvidia's and AMD'due south upcoming GPUs intensifying. We're bound to see both appear sometime in the beginning half of next yr. Co-ordinate to Videocardz.com Fiji XT is expected to debut between January and February next year. With a similar estimated time frame for 28nm GM200. If you've been waiting for either of these chips yous'd better start saving your pennies now.
