NVIDIA will be preparing two architectures at the same time: the Turing game card fastest in June hair

Recently there is news that NVIDIA may choose GDC (Game Developers Conference, March 19 opening) or their own GTC (Graphics Technology Conference, March 25 opening) released GeForce new video card.

However, authoritative media TMHW said the Australian media TT broke the news does not fly, they confirmed from a number of industry chain who, NVIDIA does not have such a plan. HSMP-381F-BLK

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 succeed Volta but will be oriented toward professional product optimization with no consumer-grade positioning. lm4668ld

In other words, NV will be the future of the professional platform (design, in-depth learning, etc.) and the game platform, respectively, with two kinds of architecture, the advantage is that at the beginning of the development, you can specifically enhance / discard certain features, Early integration architecture + "Wah knife method" may be over.

Second, consumer products are 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 time, AIC was the fastest in May to receive specifications from Turing to begin BOM cost accounting and strategic planning, non-public card delivery to produce the fastest in mid-June, 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.
