NVIDIA’s next-gen GeForce RTX 50 “Blackwell” GPUs are anticipated to make the most of the newest TSMC course of node whereas adopting the DisplayPort 2.1 commonplace.
Subsequent-Gen NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 GPUs Primarily based On 3nm Blackwell Core Structure, Help For DisplayPort 2.1 Normal Anticipated
New revelations by Copite7kimi reveal that NVIDIA is prepping its Blackwell GPUs which might be utilized by the GeForce RTX 50 “Gaming” lineup and are going to be constructed upon TSMC’s 3nm course of node.

What Does TSMC’s 3nm Deliver To The Desk Versus 5nm?
If we do a comparability between the N5 (4N Optimized 5nm variant for NVIDIA), the newest 3nm course of expertise would supply a 25-30% discount in energy, 10-15% further efficiency per transistor, 42% discount in space and a density enhance of 1.7x. These are fairly substantial good points over the present 5nm node which presents some superb efficiency per watt (effectivity) within the present GeForce RTX 40 “Ada Lovelace” lineup so we are able to solely count on NVIDIA’s effectivity lead over its competitors to additional enhance.
Will probably be too early to say which particular 3nm node is utilized by Blackwell Gaming GPUs because the tech might be out there in at the very least 4 completely different flavors starting from the usual N3 to the extra environment friendly and performance-focused designs comparable to N3E, N3P, and N3A.
NVIDIA’s HPC/AI-oriented “Blackwell” GPUs are additionally anticipated to make the most of the 3nm course of node from TSMC together with the newest HBM3e reminiscence options. In the meantime, NVIDIA’s gaming-focused playing cards might be utilizing the GDDR7 reminiscence answer as lately speculated. This is able to be the primary time after some years that each the HPC and Gaming sides of households function an structure underneath the identical naming conference. Additionally, it needs to be talked about that the HPC aspect is probably going going to leverage from a chiplet based mostly design whereas the gaming aspect is anticipated to proceed with the monolithic dies.
DisplayPort 2.1 To Be Obtainable On Subsequent-Gen GeForce
Moreover the method node expertise, NVIDIA can also be anticipated to make the most of DisplayPort 2.1 expertise in its next-gen graphics card which can deliver it on par with AMD’s Radeon RX 7000 GPUs which were providing it since final 12 months. The exclusion of DP 2.1 on the GeForce RTX 40 GPUs was a serious bummer however it appears to be like like NVIDIA might be supporting the newest applied sciences in its upcoming graphics structure.
