Problems such as the chip crisis, the use of graphics cards for cryptocurrency mining caused problems in the supply of Nvidia 3000 series. Now, in the days when full supply problems decreased, Nvidia made an interesting statement. Accordingly, after the introduction of the Nvidia RTX 4000 series, which is expected to be introduced in July, there is an expectation that graphics card sales will be adversely affected.
Nvidia made an interesting forecast for RTX 4000 series sales
After AMD’s transition to the RDNA 3 architecture, Nvidia was expected to make a significant update to the RTX 4000 graphics card series. Although there have been certain leaks before, the performance information of the graphics card has not yet emerged. However, Nvidia CFO Collette Kress thinks this upgrade will cause Nvidia a huge loss of revenue. In this sense, Kress announced that they expect a loss of revenue in terms of Nvidia graphics card sales.

In this sense, the 8 nm architecture produced by Samsung, which is used in RTX 3000 cards, is abandoned. The new RTX 4000 series cards will be powered by TSMC’s 5 nm architecture. According to the leaks, the FP 32 value of the RTX 4090 graphics card, which will be at the peak of the new generation, will be 100 TFLOPS. In this sense, the RTX 3090 graphics card had 40 TFLOPS of FP 32.
According to Kress, this power difference between the graphics cards will direct users to the 4000 series instead of the RTX 3000 series. Nvidia CFO Kress announced that they expect a decrease in graphics card sales, especially in the second quarter of 2022. This sales decline forecast strengthens the claims that the RTX 4000 series will first come across at the top level.
Although the Nvidia CFO does not give details on this issue, the estimates are that only the RTX 4090 will be introduced in July. It is expected that the RTX 4070, which is expected to have a more affordable price, will appear towards the end of the year.
