Wccftech: Ampere allegedly launching on March 26-29th (GA104)

[Guest]

"NVIDIA is reportedly readying a brand new lineup of GeForce GTX graphics cards based on its upcoming 12nm Ampere graphics architecture for an official debut at this year’s GTC in late March, a mere month away from today."

 

I know it's a Wccftech topic, but at least parts of it seem legit. At least the launch date seems quite sensible.

Why would NVIDIA make their xx70 and xx80 cards based on a XX102 chip? Aren't those reserved for the Titan and xx80 Ti lines? Regardless, this is coming from WccfTech, which means that within a margin of error almost everything in that article is false / should be taken with a HUGE grain of salt.

It's fine in the article, just made a mistake in the title. (I fixed it) Thanks for the comment!

Was freaking out and then I saw link is WCCF

Wccf + rumor = 99% chance not true

Same, I thought oh nice new Nvidia cards then saw the source,taking that with a huge pile of salt.

Ok... I edited the topic to warn potential readers.

When wccf says that, it comes down to "Nvidia is giving us something later this year"

It's rumoured that XX100 chips will no longer be available only as Tesla card or Quadro card in the next architecture before Titan V (now known with GV100) was even out.

Hey @Energycore,

 

I have edited the topic to fit the guidelines, hopefully it's fine now.

Otherwise looks good.

 

Take a look at other TnR posts, some people make really nice OPs that are well made.

We've gotten the rumor that the mid-range line is in the XX104 chip a few times so far. This actually makes sense, given the GV100 has Tensor Cores. Those are all but worthless for gaming, so Nvidia has zero reason to waste die space on them for consumer-grade cards. There'll likely be GV100, GV102 for the professional space, and Gx104, Gx106, Gx108 and so on for the consumer space.

 

With the Tensor Cores, Nvidia is going to have to make larger design branches of their uArchs, which could be reflected in the numbering. However, we still get the persistent note that "Ampere" likely isn't the uArch's name.

The timing seems quite plausible but other sources contradict this.

[Demonking]

I hope it's true I want a new gpu.

[NvidiaIntelAMDLoveTriangle]

And sold out already.

Damn miners.

 

[bcredeur97]

It's going to be called Turing, not Ampere.

Gamers Nexus confirmed this in a recent video when he(the main host, whatever his name is) spoke of talking with vendors about a new product.

He had said something like "no Turing test needed for that..." when speaking about new GPU's. and later mentioned that "he left a hint in a video"

so it's blatantly obvious...

I heard they were super cereal about finding ManBearPig using a cryptocurrency hack.

[RadiatingLight]

Why would they release ampere if pascal is already selling out and likely has much better yields?

[JAKEBAB]

My 780 just died like an hour or 2 ago

 

Please be true!
