  • Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU makes its appearance on Steam Hardware Survey

    Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU makes its appearance on Steam Hardware Survey

    With the month of September well underway, Steam’s Hardware Survey has been updated with August data. The most notable change in the latest report is the debut of Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060, one of the top graphics cards at the low price of $299.

    The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 has a market share of 0.23% on its first appearance in the Steam poll. That may not seem like much, but it is the same market share as AMD’s Radeon RX 7900 XTX, which was released seven months before the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060. Despite significant reservations about the 128-bit interface and 8GB of VRAM, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 appears to be gaining traction among Steam gamers.

    Given that the GeForce Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 is undoubtedly one of Nvidia’s most affordable RTX 40 series graphics cards to date, this is not surprising.

    We emphasised the card’s favourable price-to-performance ratio in our assessment, noting that it offers 22% more performance than its predecessor, the RTX 3060 12GB for $30 less money, or $299 vs. $239. It’s not perfect; it offers just 8GB of VRAM, compared to 12GB on the 3060, and one of the lowest generational performance increases of any 60-class card. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 is the only graphics card in the RTX 40 series that is less expensive than its predecessor, though.

    For better or worse, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 is one of the best budget options among current graphics cards, especially for players who like to stay within the Nvidia ecosystem.

    Another noteworthy item to note is that the previous generation RTX 3060, which is now the most popular GPU on Steam including both desktop and laptop GPUs, debuted on the poll two months after its release in February 2021, with a market share of 0.17%. By that criteria, Nvidia has already surpassed its previous performance.

    Aside from the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060, Nvidia’s overall RTX-40 series market share among Steam gamers is 5.66%, including mobile GPU variations, according to the August update. That’s a 1.94% net rise in a single month, or a 52% relative improvement. While slightly under 6% of the total Steam poll may not appear to be a large amount, it does demonstrate that Nvidia’s current generation Ada Lovelace architecture is being adopted at a reasonable rate. Those GPUs accounted for 4.35% of the Steam poll 10 months after the RTX 30-series debut.

    AMD’s market share remains deplorable and it might be due to Valve’s failure to collect statistics on specific GPUs only the RX 7900 XTX appears in the poll, putting RDNA 3 at 0.23% overall. The previous generation RX 6000-series total market share is also low, at 2.95% in the August survey, including mobile GPUs.

    While AMD’s RDNA 3 graphics cards are barely mentioned in the most recent survey, we’ll have to wait and watch what happens in the following months. Hopefully, Valve will release data on the RX 7900 XT, RX 7900 GRE, RX 7600, and now the newly released RX 7800 XT and 7700 XT. Those last two will certainly take time to emerge on Steam’s poll, but we believe there are a reasonable amount of 7900 XT and 7600 cards in gamers’ hands right now.

  • Reliance Industries Explores Semiconductor Manufacturing as Jio Platforms Partners with NVIDIA for AI Cloud Infrastructure in India

    Reliance Industries Explores Semiconductor Manufacturing as Jio Platforms Partners with NVIDIA for AI Cloud Infrastructure in India

    Reliance Industries is considering to enter the semiconductor manufacturing industry. It’s a move to meet its supply chain needs and meet India’s rising demand for semiconductors. According to sources, the company began discussions with global chipmakers regarding partnerships.

    Reliance

    All You Need to Know about Reliance and NVIDIA Partnership

    While the intention is clear, no specific timeline has been set, and Reliance has not made a definitive commitment to invest. The names of the foreign chipmakers involved in these discussions are not disclosed.

    These sources, who requested anonymity, are not authorized to speak to the media. Reliance, whose interest in semiconductor production has not been previously reported, has not provided an official statement in response to inquiries. India’s IT ministry and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s office also didn’t comment on the matter.

    Prime Minister Modi has expressed his vision for India to emerge as a global chipmaker, a goal initially articulated in 2021. However, progress toward this vision has encountered challenges. As of now, India lacks semiconductor manufacturing plants, although both Vedanta from India and Foxconn from Taiwan are considering building facilities.

    Reliance Industries sees significant merit in venturing into semiconductor production to mitigate the risk of chip shortages affecting its telecom and electronic devices businesses. In 2021, the conglomerate experienced delays in launching a budget-friendly smartphone it was developing with Google due to chip shortages.

    The demand for semiconductors in India and worldwide is on the rise, with India’s government forecasting the domestic chip market to reach $80 billion by 2028, compared to the current $23 billion.

    Reliance has a market value of almost $200 billion and is well-positioned to move forward with semiconductor manufacturing. According to Arun Mampazhy, a former India executive of US-based chipmaker GlobalFoundries, Reliance is a formidable contender in this field, However, the semiconductor manufacturing industry has historically gone through boom-and-bust cycles, requiring specialized skills.

    image 246 Reliance Industries Explores Semiconductor Manufacturing as Jio Platforms Partners with NVIDIA for AI Cloud Infrastructure in India

    However, the semiconductor manufacturing industry has historically experienced boom-and-bust cycles and requires specialized knowledge. Mampazhy highlights that finding a suitable technology partner, either by a joint venture or technology transfer, is going to be critical to helping Reliance in this.

    India has given $10 billion in incentives to support its chip manufacturing ambition. Nevertheless, challenges persist, exemplified by the collapse of a $19.5 billion venture between Vedanta and Foxconn in July. The two entities struggled to find a suitable tech partner, with Foxconn citing slow progress as a concern.

    Reliance has been contemplating an investment of $300 million, which would grant the conglomerate a 30% stake in a semiconductor venture, as confirmed by a third source with direct knowledge of the discussions.

    Meanwhile, Reliance subsidiary Jio Platforms has joined forces with NVIDIA to develop a state-of-the-art AI cloud infrastructure. The partnership aims to solidify India’s position as an AI powerhouse by providing researchers, developers, entrepreneurs, and others with access to high-speed, secure cloud computing for a variety of AI projects.

  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs gets listed Online

    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs gets listed Online

    The RTX 50 series GPUs from NVIDIA have been listed at the ECC by AFOX, but let’s hold off on the hoopla just yet. The fact that AFOX is a Taiwanese firm and not an official board partner of NVIDIA should serve as a reminder that you should proceed with caution if you hear this rumour.

    AFOX is kind of like a OEM business that repackages NVIDIA GPUs and sells them without following the rules. The ECC listing is still intriguing, though, as it might disclose NVIDIA’s stance on “Blackwell” GPUs.

    Several NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 series models have been filed for, including the RTX 5090 Ti, RTX 5090, RTX 5080 Ti, RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5070, RTX 5060 Ti, RTX 5060, RTX 5050 Ti, and the RTX 5050. As you can see, this is little more than AFOX’s early assumption.

    NVIDIA is still far from finalising its next-generation RTX 50 lineup, and knowing how the green team works, we won’t know anything for sure until or unless we are extremely close to the launch, and given that the RTX 40 series is still hot off the press, we are unlikely to see the next-gen anytime soon.

    This isn’t the first time AFOX has issued a “shady” ECC listing as we know in 2020, AFOX advertised the Radeon RX 5950 as a Russian business, but the GPU never reached it to market.

    Several reports of Blackwell GPUs have surfaced in the past, but for now, you should expect a release around 2025, as NVIDIA is also planning a “Ada Lovelace” upgrade. AFOX’s ranking is simply a conjecture, and it all hinges on how Team Green decides to handle the Blackwell GPUs, which are expected to boost computational capability to new heights.

  • Nvidia is riding on the AI Boom making profit in GPU market

    Nvidia is riding on the AI Boom making profit in GPU market

    Nvidia is the one firm that is truly benefiting from the AI explosion. Team Green has just released its fiscal year 2024 second quarter results, and despite the general fall in the technology industry, the company set multiple earnings records.

    Nvidia’s revenue for Q2 FY2024 was a huge $13.5 billion, a massive 101% increase over the same quarter last year. The majority of that ($10.32 billion) came from its data center-class GPUs used in AI systems, which was another record and more than double what the same category earned the previous quarter.

    The net income is possibly the most remarkable figure. With the help of high-margin data centre cards the business made $6.1 billion in profit during the quarter, up 843% year on year and more than double what it made the previous quarter.

    Professional visualisation and OEM & IP were the two markets that did not observe YoY growth. Even gaming, which hasn’t gone well for Nvidia due to the lukewarm response to the RTX 4060/Ti, was up 22 percent year on year to $2.48 billion. According to the business, gaming is back on track, with 20% of its install base now sporting an RTX 3060 or higher. It also stated that gamers will soon have the ability to upgrade.

    The figures indicate that Nvidia exceeded its $11 billion revenue forecast for the second quarter. It now expects revenue to rise 18% in Q3, reaching $16 billion, setting new highs for Jensen Huang and company.

    This year, global demand for Nvidia’s AI-focused products has surged. Saudi Arabia and the UAE are just two of the countries that have joined the AI arms race, purchasing thousands of Nvidia chips, including the H100. Meanwhile, China is spending billions on them, despite the fact that they are scaled-down versions designed particularly to meet Washington’s interconnection speed limits for China-bound GPUs.

    According to analysts, demand for Nvidia’s AI products exceeds supply by at least 50%. According to the Financial Times, the IT giant plans to treble manufacturing of the GH100 and ship 1.5 million units by 2024. It’s easy to see why some people are concerned about Nvidia focusing less on gaming, especially since computing and networking now account for 77% of company income.

  • Microsoft finally brings Game Pass Games to GeForce NOW

    Microsoft finally brings Game Pass Games to GeForce NOW

    Microsoft is following through on its promise to make PC Game Pass available through NVIDIA’s GeForce Now service. The businesses have announced that from August 24th, Game Pass and Microsoft Store titles will be available to stream on GeForce Now. Not every title will be accessible right away, but Game Pass subscribers will have access to titles like Deathloop and No Man’s Sky via NVIDIA’s platform.

    For a long time, the two companies have been working together. In February, Microsoft announced a 10-year agreement with NVIDIA to offer Xbox titles on GeForce Now, with the first title (Gears 5) arriving in May. Doom Eternal and the Wolfenstein reboots were among the first games released by Bethesda earlier this month. In that way, PC Game Pass simply broadens the selection.

    Microsoft

    The agreement was disclosed as part of Microsoft’s effort to obtain regulatory approval for its acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

    In principle, this shows that Microsoft will not have an unfair advantage in cloud gaming. To meet UK officials’ worries, the corporation wants to sell Activision Blizzard game streaming rights to Ubisoft, and it has been signing smaller cloud arrangements in recent months.

    It may appear strange to access one streaming service’s games via another, but there may be benefits. GeForce Now is intended towards gamers who seek the best visual quality and the least amount of lag, with the Ultimate tier offering 4K at 120 frames per second. If your PC and internet connection are capable, Game Pass may shine on GeForce Now, where it would otherwise be restricted.

  • Nvidia has generated 1000% profit from its H100 GPUs

    Nvidia has generated 1000% profit from its H100 GPUs

    AI acceleration is poised to become one of the most profitable hardware industries in the coming months and years, and Nvidia is well positioned to capture a sizable piece of this market. The H100 data centre GPU is already generating significant income for the Santa Clara-based business.

    If the forecasts are correct, this may be the start of an unprecedented golden era for Nvidia’s GPU business. According to Kim, the demand for H100 GPU units is so high that they are virtually sold out until 2024. Meanwhile, AI firms are racing to get enough GPU accelerators to run their generative models and AI-powered services.

    According to Foxconn, the AI server industry will be worth $150 billion by 2027, and these modern AI servers rely significantly on the powerful computing capabilities of the latest Nvidia technology.

    Inside, there’s a new steering wheel, a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and a redesigned digital dashboard. Buttons appear to have been removed entirely from the dashboard. All controls are accomplished using a touch-sensitive console or touchscreen. Tata Motors may possibly provide a facelift for the Nexon with ADAS safety features, making it the brand’s third model after the Harrier and Safari’s Red Dark Edition.

    The Hopper microarchitecture underpins the H100 GPU, which was created as the data centre counterpart to the Ada Lovelace architecture that drives the latest generation of GeForce RTX gaming GPUs. However, as evidenced by performance benchmarks, Hopper’s primary interest is not gaming. The H100 accelerator includes a modified GH100 GPU with 14,592 CUDA cores, as well as 80GB of HBM3 RAM with a 5,120-bit memory bus.

    Nvidia is undoubtedly riding a high wave in the current AI boom, yet Kim’s recommended $3,320 estimated cost per H100 GPU warrants further elaboration. Creating a new GPU is an expensive and time-consuming endeavour that requires the participation of multiple hardware engineers and specialised specialists. These employees must be compensated, and current estimates show that the average wage for a hardware engineer at Nvidia is roughly $202,000 per year.

    On the one hand, building and selling H100 GPUs could be substantially more expensive than the claimed $3,320 cost. Kim, on the other hand, has been following Nvidia for 30 years and is currently preparing a book that he describes as the “definitive history” of the firm.

  • Zotac extends NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPUs warranty period by 5 years in Taiwan

    Zotac extends NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPUs warranty period by 5 years in Taiwan

    In an effort to boost its after-sales services in the region, ZOTAC has announced an extended warranty for its NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPUs in Taiwan. According to HKEPC, the graphics card manufacturer is planning to “upgrade” its warranty policy for the RTX 40 series graphics card.

    ZOTAC will now extend the warranty period by two years for all GPUs that complete manufacturing registration within 30 days and are purchased after August 1st. This decision isn’t restricted to Ada Lovelace; previous RTX 30/20 series machines will also be accommodated, with a one-year warranty extension.

    Zotac

    Furthermore, ZOTAC has gone one step further in this regard, providing an extended warranty on the higher-end AMP / ArcticStorm series graphics cards with a purchase date after April 2019.

    The 2019 vehicles will now have a 5-year warranty, which has been extended by two years. Furthermore, Hong Kong has already received an extended 3 (+2) year warranty period upon registration of the previously mentioned ZOTAC GeForce RTX 40 GPUs.

    The company previously extended warranties when the Ampere series was debuted, and the business chose to offer extended warranties in EU territories. Such decisions entail a variety of criteria, such as improving the company’s image or offering prolonged support to customers in the event of a significant problem. It is encouraging to see ZOTAC move through with such a decision, but it appears to be a regional one.

    In comparison, the new model improves memory capacity by roughly 50% and bandwidth by more than 25%. Such significant advancements allow the new platform to run larger AI models than the original and deliver demonstrable performance advantages.

    Nvidia’s GH200 Grace Hopper platform with HBM3 is presently in production and will be commercially accessible next month, according to Nvidia. The GH200 Grace Hopper platform with HBM3e, on the other hand, is presently sampling and is projected to be available in the second quarter of 2024. Nvidia emphasised that the new GH200 Grace Hopper uses the same Grace CPU and GH100 GPU technology as the original version, thus no new revisions or steppings are required.

    The original GH200 with HBM3 and the enhanced GH200 with HBM3E will coexist on the market, implying that the latter will be sold at a premium due to the better performance afforded by the more modern memory.

    Nvidia’s next-generation Grace Hopper Superchip platform with HBM3e is completely compatible with Nvidia’s MGX server specification, making it a drop-in replacement for existing server designs.

  • Arm’s Record-Breaking IPO: Apple, Samsung, Intel, and Nvidia Poised to Invest

    Arm’s Record-Breaking IPO: Apple, Samsung, Intel, and Nvidia Poised to Invest

    Arm, the British chip design unit and a subsidiary of SoftBank Group is gearing up for a momentous step by initiating an Initial Public Offering (IPO) on the Nasdaq in September. This anticipated IPO is set to be a landmark event, projected to amass an impressive market capitalization exceeding $60 billion, thereby making it the most substantial IPO of the year. A report from Nikkei Asia indicates that tech giants like Apple, Samsung, Intel, and Nvidia are poised to join as investors following Arm’s listing.

    Arm

    More about the Arm IPO

    As the Nasdaq listing procedure readies for initiation, SoftBank Group is preparing to formally present its application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission within the upcoming weeks. As per the previously mentioned report, Arm’s initial public offering (IPO) is currently anticipated to take place within the approximate timeframe of mid to late September. The company is actively gauging investor interest and aiming to bolster its corporate valuation. This strategic move comes on the heels of Arm’s remarkable valuation escalation since its acquisition by SoftBank for $24 billion in 2016, a figure that has since doubled.

    At present, SoftBank Group holds a commanding 75% ownership stake in Arm, while the remaining 25% is held by the SoftBank Vision Fund, a dedicated technology-focused investment arm. Notably, the Vision Fund plans to divest a notable portion—around 10% to 15%—of its Arm shares on the open market, as suggested by the Nikkei Asia report.

    image 211 Arm's Record-Breaking IPO: Apple, Samsung, Intel, and Nvidia Poised to Invest

    Furthermore, the report outlines Arm’s strategic plan to engage prominent chip manufacturers such as Nvidia and Intel, alongside tech powerhouses Apple and Samsung, as medium- to long-term shareholders. The strategy involves offering these entities fractional ownership stakes, aimed at stabilizing the stock price upon the company’s listing.

    Located in the technology hub of Cambridge, United Kingdom, Arm stands as a pivotal player within the global semiconductor sphere. The company’s intricate chip designs have commanded a remarkable 90% share of the global market for smartphone chips. These designs, renowned for their energy-efficient attributes that optimize battery life, are particularly cherished within the smartphone ecosystem.

    image 212 Arm's Record-Breaking IPO: Apple, Samsung, Intel, and Nvidia Poised to Invest

    In the fiscal year 2022, Arm witnessed a significant surge in sales, reaching an impressive $2.8 billion. This remarkable figure signifies a staggering 70% increase compared to its pre-SoftBank acquisition performance in 2016. Notably, over 250 billion chips powered by Arm’s designs have found their place in devices shipped globally.

    Following SoftBank’s acquisition of Arm in 2016, the company swiftly evolved into a cornerstone of the conglomerate. Subsequent to a $40 billion buyout bid from Nvidia in 2020, which was ultimately abandoned due to regulatory impediments, SoftBank embarked on the journey of taking Arm public—an endeavor that is now unfolding on the IPO stage.
