Insiza yayizolo ibike ukuthi i-TSMC ne-Samsung bazobandakanyeka ngamazinga ahlukahlukene ekukhiqizeni izizukulwane ezizayo zama-chips wevidiyo we-NVIDIA, kodwa akuzona zonke izindaba. Izixazululo zezithombe ezinokwakheka kwe-Ampere kungenzeka zingamenyezelwa ngekota yesithathu ngenxa ye-coronavirus, futhi ukukhiqizwa kwe-5nm Hopper GPUs kuzoqala ngonyaka ozayo.
Isayithi elinokufinyelela ezintweni zomthombo okhokhelwayo ithole kudingekile ukucacisa ukuthi i-NVIDIA izama ukulingana phakathi kwe-TSMC ne-Samsung, okubandakanya zombili izinkampani ekukhishweni kwezixazululo zezithombe ze-Ampere ne-Hopper. Kulo nyaka, i-TSMC izonikezwa umsebenzi wokukhiqiza ama-Ampere GPU asebenza kakhulu esebenzisa ubuchwepheshe be-7nm. AbakwaSamsung bazothola ama-oda okukhiqiza ama-GPU amancane kusetshenziswa ubuchwepheshe be-7nm noma i-8nm, eyokuqala yabo ethembele ku-ultra-hard ultraviolet (EUV) lithography.
Ngo-2021, i-NVIDIA, ngokusho komthombo, izozama ukubamba izimbangi emkhakheni we-lithography, ngakho-ke ukuqala kokukhiqizwa kwe-Hopper GPUs usebenzisa ubuchwepheshe be-5nm sekuvele kuhlelelwe lesi sikhathi. Imvamisa, i-TSMC ne-Samsung bazophinda bahlukanise ama-oda ahambisanayo, kube nenzuzo evuna eyokuqala. Imizamo ye-NVIDIA yokufinyelela izimo ezingcono ngaphansi kwenkontileka ne-TSMC ngokwandisa ukubambisana nabakwaSamsung ayizange ilethe inzuzo enkulu, njengoba usonkontileka waseTaiwan engenasiphelo kumakhasimende. Ukusakazwa bukhoma kwenkulumo ye-CEO ye-NVIDIA uJen-Hsun Huang kuhlelelwe maphakathi noMeyi; eminye imininingwane ngemikhiqizo yesikhathi esizayo yenkampani kufanele ivezwe kulo mcimbi obonakalayo.
