Nvidia is expected to announce Ampere GPU architecture at GTC 2020 conference.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has signaled that the company's upcoming GTC Conference in San Jose will be worth attending, stating "You won't be disappointed." Huang is expected to be in attendance at GTC 2020, where NVIDIA is anticipated to announce Ampere GPUs, the next-generation successors to the RTX 20 series and the company's Turing architecture.

Recent weeks have brought increased speculation about Ampere's arrival, including a possible GA103 RTX 3080 leak and reports that NVIDIA may have accelerated the release timeline for consumer Ampere GPUs. The next-generation processors are expected to launch at GTC 2020 next month and will compete with AMD's upcoming "Big Navi" cards. While the announcement of Ampere GPUs is not guaranteed, industry observers expect NVIDIA to showcase at least concrete details about the upcoming architecture at the conference.

During NVIDIA's most recent quarterly earnings call, CEO Jensen Huang reflected on the company's current momentum, stating: "We had an excellent quarter with strong demand for NVIDIA RTX graphics and NVIDIA AI platforms and record data center revenue. NVIDIA RTX is reinventing computer graphics and the market's response is excellent, driving a powerful upgrade cycle in both gaming and professional graphics, while opening whole new opportunities for us to serve the huge community of independent creative workers and social content creators and new markets in rendering and cloud gaming." Huang continued, "We'll be talking a lot more about these key trends and much more at next month's GTC Conference in San Jose. Come join me. You won't be disappointed."

The next several months are shaping up to bring significant developments for gamers and graphics professionals alike, with Ampere poised to deliver the next generation of GPU performance.
