For mining the bigger the number of transistors which the lower the nm production the bigger the numbers that can be fitted in should be a good choice (despite us not knowing what will happen to mining until 1.5 years from now).Rivaling the HBM memory is also a super good thing also as it means we would have much more algos to choose from when using these cards in mining.I wonder what will be AMD response to this as they did make an agreement to produce 4nm cards wtih Samsung but this news from Nvidia should clearly make them think as most likely they will lose the war again like every time against Nvidia in GPU market.

What AMD has to offer gamers instead of NVIDIA RTX 4090 now?
Nothing. Or come up with a very hot dual-chip video card at a cheaper price.
At this rate, they will lose the mining market unless Nvidia comes up with new mining restrictions.

Maybe Nvidia sales managers still think that their video cards are bought by gamers and not miners. Time will tell if they have learned this lesson, or if they will make LHR models again. Then they themselves will release the drivers to remove the restrictions.

First RTX 5080 Rumors

Usually, the generations are on a two-year cycle. With the 3080 card launching in September 2020, and the 4080 coming out in November of 2022, it is likely to continue the trend. Although we’re not sure if it will keep getting pushed back, with separate launches. So we could see the RTX 5080 in Q4 of 2024, or later. Either as part of the launch or not depending on Nvidia’s plans. But for certain the 3nm node from TSMC will be 2024 at the earliest.

I agree that now with the coming of the 5000 series from Nvidia those cards will be even cheaper and they can run games relatively well at least for the people who do not mind to play with more than 1080p settings and for people playing mostly online games or steam games.

That 1060 though is a very old card together with 1050 ti,the oldest cards being run and I think that the price of these cards can be found really cheap at local marketplaces everywhere in the world and I just did a check now where I am and I see tons of 1060 at 70 dollars and 1050 ti and 50-60 dollars in price,basically anyone can buy them.

So the new series at least bring some joy to people down the hierarchy  beside bringing miners joy.

I hope this data also seen by nvidia Huan 

Yes,the price of the GPU-s should go down dramatically as the price of gaming laptops is cheap nowadays and not only rich gamers can afford them,also normal gamers with the help of their credit card  ,they can pay less than 999 dollars for a good Ryzen 5 processor and a Nvidia 3050 graphic card,this is enough to play most games in 1080p and even a bit higher.

Thanks to this,I assume the GPU prices should go down dramatically with the passing of time and we will be back at building one mining rig with all parts with the price of 1 GPU that we bought in 2021 at the all time high price of mining gear  .

Nvidia’s stock price soaring is great for the company and their future products. With their company’s value shooting up to all time highs, they should have no problem raising the money to build whatever they need to maintain a best in class product line for years to come. I imagine that is good news for fans of their GPUs.

Wow, I think it's too early to talk about 5090, it will be out after more than a year from now, everything can change until then.

Does anyone know at what point Moore's law will come into effect and they won't be able to make the nM count smaller? So far smallest I have heard of is 2nM. Is that it for a while after they make 2nM?
