Once Again, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang to Showcase What's Been Cooking for GTC - From His Kitchen

Remember that time when NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang pulled the company's HGX system (based on Ampere GA100) out of his own oven? Well, it seems we might be looking at something similar come GTC, which is set for April 12th. The event will again take place solely via online transmissions and announcements due to the still heavily-grassing COVID-19 pandemic, and NVIDIA teased a new kick-off presentation from its CEO - from his kitchen.

NVIDIA has usually taken GTC as an opportunity to showcase products not for the consumer segment, however, so temper your expectations. You should also likely temper your expectations regarding Huang taking enough RTX 30-series graphics cards form his oven to satisfy the incredible demand and stock issues we've been seeing with NVIDIA's latest and greatest. What we could be looking for (as an appetizer to this year's over 1500 presentations) are products focused on the professional computing markets, from quantum computing to AI, passing through RTX Ampere accelerators for professionals, NVIDIA Drive products, as well as Jetson announcements. NVIDIA did warn some surprises might be in store, but again, this doesn't mean these are surprises aimed at consumer gaming products. Catch up on NVIDIA's official announcement and a previously-released GTC retrospective video after the break.

The keynote, delivered again from the kitchen in Huang's home, will kick off a conference with more than 1,500 sessions covering just about every innovation — from quantum computing to AI — that benefits from moving faster.

I cant wait for questions about if Nvidia is directly involved with the smuggling of GPUs.

No, to mock those of us that refuse to pay their scalping prices, It's their favorite pass time. :roll:

Anyways, I am not buying anything if they aren't at a reasonable MSRP offering.

I think we can expect some new GPU given the time's.
Should see a 1650Ti and possibly a 1080 ti release.

Hopefully he has a better show than I expect :)

I wonder if it's the RTX 4090 Ti shown in this video leak. Watch out for the power consumption though, as it's a bit high...

Hopefully we'll get a glimpse of Hopper. Anything else won't get my attention.

While it is quite exciting to see what Nvidia is releasing, I do feel Jensen is starting to get more and more cheesy over the last couple of years. From the lame "Super" naming convention, to taking a graphic card out from the oven... I do wonder if they will move their top tier GPUs to be fab at Samsung though. Currently they are still manufactured at TSMC. Only the consumer tier GPUs are fabricated at Samsung using an inferior node as well (TSMC 7nm vs Samsung 10nm).

Could be the usual mid-lifecycle Ti/Super refresh of the RTX30 series despite the fact hardly any existing RTX30 cards have reached the hands of gamers.

Right. Because without Nvidia, PC gaming would have soared by now.

Err go you and your understanding, I'm sick of Huang spouting disingenuous crap is all, that's not backed up by reality or Nvidia's actions, your escalation isn't required.

My escalation? Says the AMD fan who keeps track of mr. Huang's presentations.
Friendly advice: don't watch them, wait for the tech sites to give you the gist. That's what I do, I'm not sitting for hours in front of a screen waiting for someone to get to the point.
