Interesting question. According to techpowerup Van Gogh has a transistor density of 14.7M / mm². Series S chip is at 40.6M / mm² though.
That is a huge difference for the same? process node. And TSMC’s low power (high density) cells are actually smaller.
I think we’d need a die shot to see what is going on there.
Van Gogh has (suppsedly) 2.4 bn transistors while Series S has 8 bn.
If only NV wasn’t so stingy with the VRAM. I don’t know how I feel about having DLSS, FG and RT but also blurry textures because the card runs out of VRAM.
Modern x86 chips are so large that the space the decoder takes is relatively small.
It would be a different story if you wanted a tiny cheap low power chip. Then you might be better off with ARM or RISC-V.

They logical design doesn’t change. But they have to use Samsung’s process design kit for the physical design (cell creation, placement, routing etc)
Just wondering,what AMD would need to do…
They’d have to actually spend chip real estate on DL/RT.
So far they’ve been talking about using DL for gameplay instead of graphics. So no dedicated tensor units.
And their RT has been mostly just there to keep up with NV feature wise. They did enhance it somewhat in RDNA3 apparently. But NV isn’t waiting for them either.
$200 is a little pricey for such a single-use accessory to a $400–$500 game console
I still don’t understand why it exists and who thought that it would sell.
What was the name of that Chinese card with DX11 support? I am pretty sure they are using IMG IP.
And now they’ve added support for virtualization, targeting the (Chinese) cloud gaming market.
I recently sold (essentially gave away for €1) some 15+ years old AMD parts (MB, CPU, cooler) on Ebay. If you don’t mind the effort of posting it on Ebay, packaging and shipping, then go for it.
There is very little need for 128 bit computing. And it can be emulated when necessary.
