Samsung to Optical-Shrink NVIDIA "Pascal" to 14 …

It looks like NVIDIA won’t skip the 14 nm process en route sub-10 nm nodes, despite meeting its energy-efficiency targets with the 16 nm FinFET node, after all. The company has reportedly concluded talks with Samsung Electronics, to optically-shrink its current GeForce “Pascal” architecture down to the newer 14 nanometer FinFET node, by Samsung. It’s unclear as to whether specific upcoming (unreleased) Pascal GPUs will get 14 nm treatment, or if this is a series-wide die-shrink of the kind NVIDIA did between the 65 nm and 55 nm nodes. The Samsung-made 14 nm “Pascal” GPUs should enter production before year-end.
