Unsurprisingly, Nvidia is the world’s largest graphics card maker, and their latest products only reinforce that. The current GeForce RTX 30 lineup has brought new graphics power to computers, both desktop and portable. Only the shortage of stock did not allow more gamers to enjoy these machines.
But recent industry rumors indicate that the upcoming GeForce RTX 4090 GPU will have twice the performance of the current high-end RTX 3090. And all thanks to manufacturer TSMC.
RTX 4090 can have twice the performance of the RTX 3090
Nvidia announced its GeForce RTX 3070, RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 graphics cards in September 2020. The top-end model is then the RTX 3090, which launched on September 24 for a recommended price of $1,499. The graphics is known as “BFGPU” – Big Ferocious GPU and brings 24 GB of GDDR6X memory.
However, the rumors Recent reports indicate that TSMC is behind the development of Nvidia's next-generation GPUs. The Taiwanese will then be responsible for the chips of the Ada Lovelace architecture, Ampere's successors. These chips should thus correspond to the new GeForce RTX 40 lineup.
The current GeForce RTX 30 line is built using 8nm chips manufactured by Samsung. But the adoption of TSMC's 5nm manufacturing process shouldn't surprise the most observant. It is a more advanced lithograph that could solve some current gaps, especially regarding consumption problems.
Ada should be tsmc 5nm. I don’t think Samsung can bear such a huge core, power consumption and heat.???? https://t.co/aNWJTwC5HD

Information points to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 40 range to be announced in the fourth quarter of 2022 or the first of 2023. And this date corresponds to the time when, supposedly, the manufacturer will also launch its RTX 30 SUPER range for notebook computers.
Furthermore, it is also indicated that the new Ada Lovelace architecture, with the help of TSMC's 5nm lithography, will make it possible to double the performance of the GeForce RTX 4090 graphics compared to the RTX 3090.
