NVIDIA hints at Ampere GPUs for the GTC 2020 keynote


Written by Metal Messiah

Ampere is the next-gen upcoming graphics cards series from NVIDIA. Lot of rumors have been circulating surrounding the release date and announcement of Ampere.

Now, NVIDIA has just confirmed that CEO Jensen Huang would be hosting a keynote on May 14th, as announced by the company on its official blog/website. The first line of text reads, “GET AMPED”, so does this mean we might get to hear more about Ampere GPUs on MAY 14th ?

We don’t have the answer for that now, but this announcement does give us a hint on the upcoming planned flagship products from NVIDIA. Though, “AI, high performance computing, data science, autonomous machines, healthcare and graphics” topics  are actually being mentioned by NVIDIA, but I’m going to assume “Graphics” refers to consumer-based GPUs.

Ampere cards are being highly anticipated to get a release date later this year. Let’s hope Jensen Huang sheds some light on next-gen GAMING GPUs as well.
