It's all still speculation. Nobody knows really. Don't know why this got put as factual news. One of the sourced articles said April 12th. Reuters vaguely mentions Turing as a gaming chip. Crypto carrying this train hard af.
Nvidia GTC is scheduled next month March 26-29. Nvidia is calling it "AI & Deep Learning Conference"
I have to agree. The article seems to take the Alan Turing cracked crptyography, therefore this is a crypto mining card approach and ran with it. I know talking about mining all the time is the trending thing to do at the moment, however, he is also responsible for the Turing Test, which evaluates a machines ability to learn and behave like a human being. As Xzibit pointed out Nvidia GTC is scheduled next month March 26-29. Nvidia is calling it "AI & Deep Learning Conference", I feel it is FAR more likely that this card will have something to do with the later, not the former.

nVidia has shown they are very committed to the deep learning and AI sector, which has amazing long term potential and benefits across hundreds of use cases.
Crypto currency and mining on GPUs could be gone just as fast as their prices rise and fall, it's a very volatile. If it is true that releasing a mining card on a mass scale will drastically ramp up difficulty to mine on a GPU, why would they base an entire business model on something that will essentially create its own demise? (as in, the more people buy these cards> the more people will mine> the more difficult mining gets> the less return/value/reason there is to mining>the less people will buy the cards).
Because of this I would be shocked if this ends up being a mining specific card. But you never know, maybe it will be. Maybe they just want to cash in while the getting is great, and throw a bone to gamers. This is why I am not the head of nVidia I guess. All I can say is if it is a mining card, they need to disable mining on the GeForce brand completely, just as they have disabled the use of the GeForce brand in datacenters.
