This year the war in the graphics card market could get worse. AMD has the Big Navi ready, but its competitor, NVIDIA does not want to be left behind. We will see this year the NVIDIA Ampere, graphics cards that promise a very beastly performance jump due to going from 12nm to 7nm. Well, from China come the first specifications of the RTX 3080 and RTX 3070.

As we must always take this data as possible, it may or may not go in the right direction. Ampere is expected to make a performance jump of up to 50%, while consumption would be reduced by 30%. It may or may not be correct data, since the jump from 12nm to 7nm is very important.

The leak speaks of the GA103 silicon for the RTX 3080 and GA104 for the RTX 3070. According to the data, the RTX 3080 would have 3840 CUDA Cores under the 7nm litho, offering a 50% performance jump. The CUDA Cores are noticeably increased over the RTX 2080, which 'only' has 3072 CUDA Cores. In addition the RTX 3080 will implement 10GB GDDR6 and a 320bit memory interface.

We move on to the RTX 3070, which will offer a total of 3072 CUDA Cores, or what is the same, it will be an RTX 2080 on steroids. It should perform more smoothly thanks to the new lithography and new architecture. In addition, it will be accompanied by 8GB GDDR6 with a 256-bit memory interface. Come on, it is the same as the RTX 2080, but possibly a little better.

As always we will take this as a rumor. It should be noted that the person who has provided the information is MyDrivers, a highly reliable medium. Together with the information they have published the design of the silicon of the Ampere GA103 and GA104, to increase the credibility. What is your opinion?
