Upcoming Hardware Launches 2023 (Updated Feb 2024)

[ARF]

I think this also needs a correction:

NVIDIA Ampere

• Release Date: probably H2 2020, maybe March 22nd at GTC 2020

Maybe March 22nd is already not happening.
H2 2020 is also highly doubtful.

I would put H1 2021 as best guess.

Updated to "probably H2 2020, or even 2021"

Updated to "probably H2 2020, or even 2021"

I think this i pegged for a September(ish) launch.

Edit: there you go: https://www.tweaktown.com/news/7146...ust-2020-reveal-launch-at-computex/index.html

I know it's hard to keep all these organized, but does 2022 qualify as "upcoming"?
I would take anything that is not expected within a year and put it in a separate category. Say we have "upcoming" and "further down the road/rumors", each having the same sections as we do today. It would require some shuffling around, but I think it would make the important info more readily accessible.

Too complicated, will make it hard to find info for people not familiar with the page layout

Of all the arguments, you only thought of "hard to find"?
It's hard to find as it is, if I'm looking for something I resort to page search. But ok, it was just a thought.

Intel Rocket Lake

• Release Date: 2021, maybe even late 2020
• Succeeds "Comet Lake"
• No core count increase—still tops out at 8 cores / 16 threads
• Variants: Rocket Lake-"S" (mainsteam desktop), -"H" (mainstream notebook), -"U" (ultrabook), and -"Y" (low power portable)
• 14 nanometer production process
• Could be a backport of "Willow Cove" to 14 nm process
• No FIVR, uses SVID VRM architecture
• 125 W maximum TDP
• Adds Gen 12 iGPU with Skylake CPU cores
• Uses 500-series chipsets
• Socket LGA1200 (just like Comet Lake)
• Supports PCI-Express 4.0
• 20 PCIe lanes
• Intel Xe integrated graphics, based on Gen 12 with HDMI 2.0b and DisplayPort 1.4a
• 2.5 Gb/s Ethernet, Thunderbolt 4, USB 3.2 20G
• iGPU with up to 32 EUs
• Memory support: DDR4-2933
• Possibly higher clocks and more cores than Comet Lake
• Sources

So.... Which is it....

No core count increase or more cores?....

Good question, I'm not aware of any new leaks. Have you seen anything? Intel's plans might be changing, too

It seems bta doesn't know either, so he shouldn't be writing it like this:
Intel Rocket Lake

• No core count increase—still tops out at 8 cores / 16 threads
• Possibly higher clocks and more cores than Comet Lake
• Sources

Pff, that's so obvious. They're only increasing the number of cores, but not the core count

hmm,looks more than half, even more are just leaks and rumors,but ..sure..we dont know it bfore it out .

i see only few things sure

nvidia ampere


and thats it,but even that specs are hidden shadows.

2020/2021 sure will be intels and nvidia year, no doubts,reason is that tehy have sure totally new design ,process tech 7nm ampere and 10nm intel, amd still running this year 7nm,and amd has squuze it all out,

lets see.

That's the nature of predicting future launches. If you want concrete assurances that something is coming and what the specs are then that info comes days or in best case a week before launch. At least on the PC component world (smartphones seem to leak half a year in advance in full detail - for example Google Pixel designs).

Still it's possible to make an educated guess. Especially if multiple sources are saying it.
Yeah good luck to Intel/Nvidia i say. Especially Intel. They still can't produce even their second 10nm iteration on desktop. So i don't have high hopes for them.
Nvidia is in a better position due to using TSMC like AMD.

Oh and 2080 Ti SUPER did not technically launch but MSI did realase a 2080Ti with much faster 16Gbps memory. Sort of a pseudo 2080 Ti SUPER. Product code is: V371-234R

leaks and rumors

that's the point of this article, to give you all somewhat realistic rumors and leaks in a single source

Aka everything that's out there and has not been proven total BS. After all, even the most official calendars will shift between now and an actual release.

@W1zzard I have some questions regarding the latest update:
I heard GA102 was going to be used for 3080 / 3080 Ti / 3090, not just 3080 Ti and 3090. Where did you get a source stating the 3080 would use GA103? AFAIK, and I definitely could be wrong, GA103 was to be used for 3070, GA104 for 3060, etc. So the stack is essentially pushed up. In fact on the "NVIDIA RTX 3080 / RTX 3080 Ti / RTX 3090 [added]" section, it mentions the three are on GA102, not that the 3080 uses GA103. Bit of an inconsistency. Also that section mentions a 3030 instead of a 3080.

Didn't Nvidia drop the "Tesla" branding for their server cards? (ref: NVIDIA Ampere section; Tesla server cards are going into Indiana University Big Red 200 supercomputer)

In the AMD Zen 3 section, you state:

• New process tech: 7 nm Plus (probably not 7 nm+ EUV)
• Uses EUV (extreme ultraviolet) silicon fabrication node at TSMC

One sort of contradicts the other, if I'm reading this correctly. Is this intentional?

Where do you get the pricing for the XT refreshes?

• Ryzen 9 3900 XT: 12c/24t, 4.1 GHz Base, 4.8 GHz Boost, 70 MB cache, 105 W, € 499
• Ryzen 7 3800 XT: 8c/16t, 4.2 GHz Base, 4.7 GHz Boost, 36 MB cache, 105 W, € 460
• Ryzen 5 3600 XT: 6c/12t, 4.0 GHz Base, 4.7 GHz Boost, 32 MB cache, 95 W, € 320

Seems like the 3800XT would be a completely useless part here. €39 more for 4 cores, almost twice the cache and a 0.1GHz boost increase (with the same TDP) by going to the 3900XT.. Seems like a no-brainer to me? Either the 3900XT is too cheap, or the 3800XT is too expensive. I can't imagine pricing like this, it's way too close. Where would the existing 3900X fall end up? Sandwiched between the 3800X and 3800XT? It just doesn't make sense to me.

Would love your input on these questions!

Fixed

Pricing in the source, yeah this doesn't make much sense, could be estimates + some hefty margin by the e-tailer, or just trying to get some preorders in at higher price

I see, for some reason I didn't see the sources button. Thanks for the response.

I counted 14 Intel codenames, 10 of which are "Something Lake" CPU architectures. What exactly are they trying to do here?

What they've been doing for decades: naming stuff using geography. It's a common thing, but it's not always geography.

Regarding Big Navi, Lisa Su officially told us in the Zen3 presentation that the GPU series will be called RX6000. So, the 5950XT, 5950 and 5800XT are wrong. Most possibly we will get a limited RX6900XTX alongside the RX6900XT, RX6900 and maybe RX6800XT

 

[Tomorrow]

Would it not be more readable if the relases were grouped by release date instead of product/company?

For example to get a quick overview what's planned to be released in 2021, 2022 etc?

I feel like the current layout is a bit messy.

 

[nemesis.ie]

The Zen 3 section says:

• Clock frequencies: 3.8 to 4.0 GHz base, 4.4 to 4.6 GHz boost

Aren't we seeking SKUs with 4.9GHz boost?
