According to the latest report, the new GP107 Pascal GPU, which will be behind both the upcoming GTX 1050 and the GTX 1050 Ti graphics cards, could be actually the first GPU based on Samsung 14nm FinFET manufacturing process.

According to a report coming from 3DCenter.org, the Nvidia GP107 Pascal GPU could be the first GPU based on 14nm LPP manufacturing process, which is the result of the latest partnership between Nvidia and Samsung.

The same report also suggest that Nvidia could be moving some other existing GPUs to the same manufacturing process.

In case you missed it, the GP107 Pascal GPU is expected to pack 768 CUDA cores, 48 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and a 128-bit memory interface. This fully-enabled GPU should be powering the GTX 1050 Ti with 4GB of GDDR5 memory.

In the late-October, Nvidia is also expected to launch a cut-down version of the GP107 GPU with 640 CUDA cores, 40 TMUs, 32 ROPs, which should be behind the GTX 1050 graphics card with 2GB of GDDR5 memory.

The move to Samsung 14nm FinFET manufacturing process could be the secret behind the lower 75W TDP of the GTX 1050 Ti graphics card as this process should provide a much better power efficiency as well as allow Nvidia to push for higher GPU clocks.
