Nvidia CEO Says That The Announcement Of The New GeForce Won’t Come ‘For A Long Time’

in computex2018 •  6 years ago 

Reporting from Taipei, Taiwan: Jensen Huang, NVIDIA’s CEO has hinted that the next wave of GPUs from the company won’t be announced “for a long time”. “When’s the next GeForce?” said Huang while skirting a question from a fellow journalist at the NVIDIA press conference. “I’m going to invite you guys – don’t worry! Not only will you be invited, there’ll probably be lunch.”

Dodging questions about a next-gen GeForce, Huang finally said, “It’s a long time from now.” Now a long time is a matter of perspective, as many reports floating around suggest that Nvidia will reveal its next-generation graphics card architecture, thought to be called Turing, in August 2018.

Going by previous trends, Nvidia is overdue a GPU architecture reveal, as it normally debuts new hardware around springtime, as it did with the 10-series graphics cards. But it would appear that something has delayed that announcement, or perhaps Nvidia just doesn’t want a springtime reveal any longer.

Either way, the current Pascal architecture was a solid success for Nvidia, especially in how it brought near-desktop level GPU performance to mobile graphics cards. As such, Turing has some big boots to fill, but with memory technology and controllers improving, the next-wave of Nvidia GPUs could bring in some tech to really shake up a new wave of graphics cards, especially if it can into some slimmed-down ray tracing tech.
