After the postponement of all the major technological events in the world, NVIDIA was once again struck by the fact that the latest virus epidemic known in modern history to humans is lagging behind.
Early rumors put Ampere's latest, latest release on the GTC 2020, but refusing to celebrate it and its position in mid-October leaves NVIDIA an orphan.
The RTX 3000 is fast approaching on imminent days
It has all shown that the company will be waiting for its launch event, as they are scheduled for March, but it looks like it will finally not be the case. NVIDIA is in the news, it seems to be limited for months and the epidemic has slowed its market momentum, as it was intended to strike first and thus take the first sales of the new generation of RTX 3000 GPUs.
The problem here is that any time the company has given official concrete dates, all the delays have been made "off the record", all the information comes from the potential ripple that NVIDIA itself had to keep the hype, or maybe not and they tied the dots
In any case, this is what awaits us from here until the launch, where today our Tweaktown partners provide new details on the launch and launch of Ampere: August and September respectively.
The full launch of the Ampere range, is well presented
The global epidemic will have another effect on NVIDIA: Market segmentation is over on various dates. This means that the people of Huang will have to come out with all the weapons to compete on the playground and immediately.
Therefore, we will not see (in theory and reported) two different distributions of high- and mid-range and low-end RTX 3000 variants, something that is in line with the idea of accelerating NVIDIA implementation.
As we say, the presentation will be at the end of August, and the launch will be done in style at Computex 2020, where the event has moved its day from September 28 to 30. The event looks like it will also include Quadro RTX cards under Ampere, which, if COVID-19 wasn't available, would be the first to see the light.
In any case, NVIDIA will break the tradition of announcing its new build a year and a half after the last one, since this will be two full years since the launch of France. If the first mature performance data is correct, then it will be worth the wait, as we saw the GA100 could go up to 75% faster than the Turing counterpart and GA102 reaching 40% faster than the TU102.
