May 14, 2020 The Nvidia GTC Keynote has now been posted on YouTube. You can find the first of Nvidia’s top nine-part GTC videos embedded below.
Nvidia’s GTC keynote will be released soon, which means we should know some tasty details from Ampere, official this time as well. The company’s original GTC keynote was canceled due to COVID-19, and was supposed to be replaced by a virtual keynote on March 24. This did not happen, but it is happening today, at 06:00 PT (09:00 ET / 14:00 BST).
Nvidia is recording the main address and then posting it to their YouTube channel later today, which means all you have to do to watch is watch your YouTube channel to watch the video at (or after) the previous time. Any announcements made will also be published in the Nvidia newsroom.
This keynote should provide us with more concrete information on Nvidia’s upcoming Ampere GPU architecture. However, it probably won’t tell us too much about upcoming consumer graphics cards, as the GTC (or, this year, GTC Digital) events focus on really technical stuff like AI and server-scale graphics.
In fact, Nvidia says, “Huang will highlight the company’s latest innovations in artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, data science, autonomous machines, healthcare, and graphics during the recorded presentation.” We are not sure if it will take out another giant graphics card from an oven.
With a lot of speculation and fantastic leaks apparent surrounding the Nvidia 30-series GPUs, a lot of people will undoubtedly bite to hear concrete information about Ampere’s architecture. Just don’t wait for the introduction of an RTX 3080 Ti.
Instead, expect details on high-performance computing (HPC) parts like the GA100 GPU and the DGX A100 graphics card that was allegedly taken out of the oven a couple of days ago. And maybe some cool stuff about Tensor cores and AI. This is why the GTC keynote is not completely irrelevant to PC gamers: We can learn something about the technology that will carry over to the next generation of the best gaming graphics cards.
Leaving this aside, seeing giant graphics cards and hearing about large-scale graphics computing is enough to keep anyone interested.
