TSMC cashes in
The graphics card maker named after a Roman vengeance daemon, Nvidia is spending $10 billion to make sure that TSMC makes its 5nm node design chipsets.
According to Hardware Times, Nvidia is set to pay the exorbitant amount of nearly $10 billion to secure its share of TSMC 5nm capacity. Nvidia is geared up to produce its next generation Ada Lovelace GPU on TSMC's N5 node. This next gen GPU family is likely to be referred to as the RTX 40 series. No one outside of the management of both companies knows exactly how the fees break down or the timeframe, but as noted by Hardware Times, Nvidia spent $9 billion in just the third quarter on inventory and prepayment for future products. This would indicate that Nvidia is already paying through the nose well in advance.
