Been reported for quite some time that the next gen gpus won’t be out until 2025, seems more than likely that’s the year, really puts the group of if I should wait 4 next gen or should I buy in the midst of high end gpus being inflated. Tough spot.
I upgraded to a 4070ti 3 months ago (mainly in anticipation of Phantom Liberty and Alan Wake 2) and seems even a better affair now.
I bought a 4080 at about the same as you bought your card. How I look at it is: I (and you) got a worse deal than if we waited 5 months, but at the same time, we both got the use of a better GPU compared to what we used before, for all that time, and that's worth something.
Me, no regrets, not really.
It's not tough at all: don't buy. Where I am, for the price of a GPU I can get a good TV and a PS5, which is exactly what I've done. I don't need a PC for anything other than gaming and these days, I don't need a PC to game.
Next gen 5090 is ready but delay due to new structures on 3nm TSMC, much of time to re-code and convert. I read some media talking about more and more difficult on 2nm in future. So maybe afraid no enough time for 2025 if engineers head on time over time in extremely positive effects. Maybe the limit of technology has come. Media talks 2nm maybe over 2030.
Got a cite for this? I haven't heard someone claim this.
No, I really doubt we are close to the limit. 3d in various forms is the way things are going at that level, and that's only one way to approach the various problems that I'm not educated enough to have a reasonable opinion on. Besides, it seems to me like every time some prognosticator says that we've reached a technological limit when it comes to computing, they've been wrong... when one approach plateaus, we find another that doesn't.
I don't think we can make any reasonable predictions about how nodes will progress (or not) that far out.
Yesterday I read it, now I can not find the link, but from posts of experts , they said it's difficult , need more time and TSMC has tools to convert...
Uh, Intel's roadmap says they'll have 18A (1.8 nm) in mass production in 2024, and they've said in every subsequent earnings call their nodes are on track for this schedule.
