https://www.overclock3d.net/news/gpu_displays/nvidia_hints_at_big_announcements_at_gtc_2020_-_you_won_t_be_disappointed/1 Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, has to tease the company's GTC (GPU Technology Conference) 2020 plans, teasing potential AI enhancements, the evolution of RTX and other shifts in the gaming, AI, professional and cloud markets. While Jensen has promised analysts that they "won't be disappointed", this remains far from a confirmation that Nvidia plans to launch its next-generation graphics lineup at GTC in March. Many sites have been quick to namedrop rumoured Nvidia architectures like Ampere; it seems unlikely that Nvidia will release a new series of gaming graphics cards at this event. What's more likely is that Nvidia will release a successor to its Volta series graphics cards, catering to non-gaming markets with enhanced AI performance and computational capabilities.
Nvidia's next-generation products are rumoured to be built using Nvidia's next-generation Ampere architecture and utilise a 7nm manufacturing technology from TSMC or Samsung. These changes should allow Nvidia to increase the efficiency of their graphics hardware significantly and deliver increased performance levels.
Right now, we expect Nvidia's GTC event to focus on the company's AI performance. Nvidia wants to dominate this growing market, and that goal requires new hardware. Nvidia's Volta series graphics cards have been available for over two years now, and Nvidia's customers are hungry for something newer. If Nvidia wants to cement its AI advantages, they need to release a true Volta successor for the data centre market, and that graphics card could arrive at GTC.
I am very much in agreement with this article and I expect NVIDIA to roll out its Volta successor.
