Meanwhile and extra related, the corporate additionally up to date the banner used of their Twitter profile to replicate their newest advertising and marketing marketing campaign, with the extra textual content of “21 days, 21 years.”
Given the countdown theme of NVIDIA’s new marketing campaign, it’s an inexpensive guess that NVIDIA goes to be counting down the following 21 days in preparation for the announcement of one thing new. Which would have that announcement touchdown on Monday, August 31st. The 31st, in flip, occurs to the 21st anniversary of when the unique GeForce 256 (SDR) was introduced, which might carry all the ordeal full-circle.
NVIDIA most not too long ago introduced their Ampere GPU structure and first datacenter product based mostly on it – the A100 accelerator – again in May. That in flip has generated a whole lot of anticipation for the discharge of client components based mostly on the brand new structure. And with NVIDIA’s current-generation Turing components about to show two years previous, the corporate is traditionally due for a GeForce product refresh.
So we are able to solely assume that NVIDIA is gearing as much as announce Ampere gaming components later this month. Otherwise there are going to be a whole lot of disillusioned players come August 31st.
