there was a rumor recently NVIDIA RTX 4090, RTX 4080 and RTX 4070 have been basically finalized and will be released in August, September and October respectively. However, according to the latest report of the authoritative hardware media igor's lab, this schedule is simply unrealistic. Igor's lab got an amazing news that RTX 40 series is still in the stage of engineering verification and / or design verification. Neither NVIDIA nor AIB partners have a sample that can be lit on the computer**
This means that it is impossible to have reliable performance and power consumption data at the current stage.
According to the development process, after obtaining working samples, a new graphics card needs to undergo electromagnetic interference test, production verification test, BIOS and driver development and calibration before it can be put into production.
It is now June. To launch the RTX 4090 in August, all the above processes must be completed in just two months, which is almost impossible. Especially considering the current epidemic impact and the international situation, the development cycle will be even longer than before
In addition, due to the fluctuation of mining, the current inventory level is not low, and it is almost impossible to issue new cards without cleaning up.
Of course, NVIDIA is not the only one that is not going well.
Although Intel arc has gained 4% of the market share, the desktop version has been delayed again and again. I will see you in the third quarter. Intel also confirmed that it would be monopolized by the Chinese market, which also indicates that it has insufficient capacity.
Amd rdna3 has less explicit information, and little is known about the specification or release time.
This is probably why neither NVIDIA nor amd mentioned the next generation of graphics cards at the Taipei Computer Show.
