Report suggests Nvidia could launch improved RTX 3000 GPUs produced on TSMC's 7 nm node in 2021

Is Nvidia ditching Samsung for TSMC in 2021? It looks like Nvidia is not at all pleased with the supply problems created by Samsung's 8 nm nodes with reduced yields and is at least diversifying risk with a significant order of 7 nm chips from TSMC scheduled throughout 2021.

Tiger Lake Iris Xe G7 and GeForce MX350 are neck-to-neck in 3DMark — so why is the Intel chip still so much slower when gaming?

Unoptimized drivers, a shared TDP pool, and lack of VRAM on the Iris Xe G7 may be attributing to some steep performance deficits when compared to the GeForce MX150, MX250, or MX350 series when running certain games. A select few titles, however, show the Intel chip to be on par with Nvidia.

The laptop-grade RTX 3070 GPU is apparently getting 8 GB of 12 Gbps GDDR6 VRAM, but it is very likely that the lower TGP of around 120 W will limit this chip's performance, so it will not really match the performance of a desktop-grade RTX 2080 Ti.
