History

Historical Context

Nvidia announced the Pascal microarchitecture in March 2014 and launched the GeForce GTX 1080/1070 in May 2016, using TSMC’s 16 nm FinFET process. The architecture’s high compute capability sparked a rapid rise in AI workloads, leading cloud providers to expand GPU farms. That early surge underlies today’s AI infrastructure growth, exemplified by companies such as CoreWeave.
