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.
NVIDIA

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.

bugMy 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.
Just so people like you know, I'm a Nvidia ,Intel, AMD fan who doesn't like bullshit.
I keep track of everything X86 related and way beyond and I get you but I also have friendly advice, don't insinuate people are fanbois while defending the same company representatively across any topic.
I keep track of a lot.

TheoneandonlyMrKIf he mouth's some shit about saving pc gaming again I might throw up on my keyboard, that's all I'm saying.
if you feel bad about that then i assume you trust everything any company PR talk out there?
ixiNintendo switch new cpu and gpu, plīīīz.

4xxx series won't be announced at least 4-5 months more.
i don't think nvidia will talk about those new SoC for the switch. next series won't happen until the end of next year.
ParnCould 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.
this is GTC. we will not going to see any announcement related to gaming GPU here. at best we will get titan based on A100 chip.

Why assume that, nothing I said would indicate that and no , but none the less I won't be here shielding Nvidia from others either.

I was thinking the same thing, perhaps even the added bonus of them running 7nm+?

I would love to see what difference that can make.

It would be an awesome plot twist if he released a new cooking recipe…

Well it's probably more models in the Ampere family.

I’m surprised it’s not a TEC slapped on Samsung’s 8nm process chips, bake a pie and game at faster speeds.....

this is most likely what the biggest announcement will be. Nintendo Switch has been extremely profitable for Nvidia. So they will wanting to be pushing that market, since everything else they do sells out instantly anyway.

TumbleGeorgeScalping is because too many reasons. When criptocoins and their diggers be outlawed and hunted like boars on a hunting trip, then there will be no more scalpers, because production and supply will be more than demand. Prices will be affordable, and store shelves will be full of video cards! :D
They were already out of stock due to scalpers before the crypto rush. So are webcams even right now (explain that with crypto). More is at play here (covid is the obvious elephant in the room).

Blaming crypto is popular but it's not the sole or even primary cause. Your fantasy would change nothing.

Say there is an allocation of 1000 units to a country.

Person A buys 1 GPU at MSRP, inside it is 1x GPU he needs for games.

Person B, the shady miner, buying directly from the suppliers in bulk, poof 500 units gone. Yeah, you should see the truck loads full, pictures lots of em, they can't help to brag after all.

Person C, uses bots to buy up all the possible left over stock to resell at an idiotic profit level, as the average person does not use auto buying bots or does not know about them or how to use them. His favourite clientele being miners as there are way more person B's that couldn't strike shady deals with suppliers and they will miss out. The other being gamers that don't have to care about the price tag.


Your reasoning that miners are not to blame is flawed. Almost every gamer has Steam. Look at how little of the latest generation GPU's actual gamers have, 100's of thousands of units that are not making it to the intended clientele.


Ergo; Cards are not getting to the average gamer (Person A) the person, that just wants to buy it for it's intended purpose, gaming. You also wouldn't have seen them complaining on all the social media sites, videos etc.

Crypto Bubble 2.0 now absolutely is the primary reason for ongoing longer-term shortages (beyond immediate post-launch scalping issues), just as it was the last Bitcoin bubble time around pre-COVID, pre-scalping back when 1050Ti's soared to £200 / 1060's soared to over £300 without any prior scalping / stock supply issues. You're mixing up unrelated issues. Eg, webcams (and laptops in some areas) are short on stock due to a huge surge in working from home (even for old laptops that have a webcam built-in, the sensor quality is often poor enough that people want something better). For same reason there's also been an increase in demand for home printers / MFD's (can't use the office photocopier), ink & toner for same, etc. That has nothing to do with GPU's though as almost no-one needs a dGPU vs iGPU for just simple web / office work.

The elephant in the room is as Legacy-ZA said, the disproportionate lack of new generation GPU's visible in Steam HWSurvey relative to numbers being sold = a sizeable chunk of supply is being diverted for obvious 24/7 mining demand (where Steam won't be running). And since some scalpers are scalping for the miners, an increase in scalping due to increased demand from miners are not unrelated issues either. It's been 7 months now since the 3000 series launched and despite all this massive, massive demand and everything produced since then, GTX 1060 & 1050Ti are still #1 & #2 whilst less than 3% of gamers own any 3000 series card (all 3000 models combined) should clue anyone into the obvious that a lot of what's being made isn't going to gamers regardless of whether it passes through scalpers first or not...

Except this would be bubble three, I missed the first ,mined a bit the second and have not bothered since.
Everything else I agree with.

I actually wanted to upgrade my whole rig to a AMD 5600X and 3070. I am glad I didn't because by the time this issue passes the new generations will be here.

My machine is old, it has done well but I will stretch the fellas life a little longer and play very old games. At least the ones my GPU doesn't crash.

I will not be coerced into buying at these rediculous price levels. If one adopts this type of mind set, one will start to find himself in financial trouble for the rest of time.

You say that but there is no evidence to back it.

Again product shortages at the moment affect even webcams to the point of equally insane pricing based on percentage rise. This shows the industry as a whole is affected and it is not solely or even primarily due to crypto.

And people don't just work, the same people that are working at home often want a gpu to go with it. A large percentage of those people buying office gear also want their new home office rig to now "game."

The console shortages are an even better example.


The steam survey numbers establish nothing other than mining is making a bad problem worse, which does not disprove my original point you are attacking.

you seem to be ignoring silicon shortages
its hurting even car manufactures so its gonna be hurting pcs that use SILICON
mining is one of the issues but not the primary

Yes, what we need is more cars, in a lockdown all around the world and people are stuck in their homes. LOL! Clown world, honk honk. And with fewer jobs and income too, HOOOOOOOOOOOONK! At least with extra silicon allocated to computers, people can generate income from their homes without having to drive to a job.

Bovine feces.

TSMC is at all times high capacity, meanwhile NV has entire Samsung 8nm to itself.
64KThey hating.
Nothing speaks "zero emissions" more than CEO of a company, that just introduced new power connector standard to feed its power hungry CPU, posing with an electric vehicle.

Was it "hating" enough?
