NVIDIA: "GTC News Can Wait"

[AleksandarK]

NVIDIA was supposed to launch its next-generation "Ampere" lineup of server-class GPUs at this year's GTC event. However, NVIDIA's president and CEO, Jensen Huang, shared the news that NVIDIA will now be showcasing the important GTC news it has prepared, but instead will only provide online materials from developers and researchers from all over the world. In the blog update, Mr. Huang said the following: "We have exciting products and news to share with you. But this isn't the right time. We're going to hold off on sharing our GTC news for now. That way, our employees, partners, the media and analysts who follow us, and our customers around the world can focus on staying safe and reducing the spread of the virus."

"We will still stream tons of great content from researchers and developers who have prepared great talks. This is a time to focus on our family, our friends, our community. Our employees are working from home. Many hourly workers will not need to work but they'll all be fully paid. Stay safe everyone. We will get through this together.", he added. While we won't get any new GPUs judging by this announcement, we can expect to see them once this situation is resolved.

In other words "nobody would talk about our great products right now, so we will announce it, as soon, as there is room in the media for anything else than corona"

Eh? This sounds like a lot of bull. Was looking forward to heard about the RTX 2070/2080 SUPER lineup on laptops.

Well, for someone who's not panic buying, it is now affecting us. We can't buy a simple pack of mixed meat.

Yes, new motherboards is kinda the least of my priorities right now.
