Recently there is news that NVIDIA may choose GDC or its own GTC (Graphics Technology Conference, March 25 opening) released GeForce new video card.
However, authoritative media TMHW said that the Australian media TT broke the news does not fly, They confirm from a number of industry chain, NVIDIA does not have such a plan.
In fact, it is true, NV new product confidentiality work is generally poor, it is really decided to release in March, it is impossible for the outside world about the outline is still unknown.
On the new layout, the report also gives a clearer explanation:
First of all, The Ampere architecture does take over from Volta, but will be oriented toward professional product optimization with no consumer-grade positioning.
In other words, NV in the future will focus on professional platform (design, in-depth learning, etc.) and the game platform, respectively, using two architectures , The advantage is that certain features can be specifically enhanced / discarded right from the very beginning of the development. The integration architecture of the early years + Huang's knife method may be over.
Second, The consumer-grade product is Turing. However, Turing's time will be further delayed as NVIDIA is not in a hurry to launch a new card due to the good marketability of the current game card market and the limited pressure from AMD.
At the point of time, AIC can receive the specifications of Turing as early as May, and begin to do BOM cost accounting and strategic planning. Non-public cards delivered the fastest production in mid-June, in July to achieve the ability of external sales supply.
Therefore, if NVIDIA does not stand alone, there are two potential publishing opportunities, one is the Taipei Computer Show which opened on June 5, and the other is August Gamescom. TMHW thinks the latter is more likely.
Of course, TPU has a different view, they insist that Turing is a mining card, Ampere is a game card.
