Nvidia Starts the Hype - Teases Pascal with Order of 10 Puzzle

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 05/03/2016 09:05 AM | source: | 24 comment(s)

Nvidia has shipped some briefcases to selected media (no we have not received one just yet). The briefcase holds a puzzle tied to a website called the Order of 10. On that site you'll notice a countdown that ends on 6th May 2016. It is likely that the Geforce FTX 1070 and 1080 will be announced that day.

That date also falls together with the Battlefield 5 reveal. 1 and 1 is two right ? Anyway, the puzzle is obviously a reference to computing maybe deep learning, the hard way. The puzzle parts unlock 6 pages, the last one being about astronomy. At twitter some folks solved the puzzle, which leads us to new website ‘humanity shall be enlightened‘. There have been some further decodes and it seems the puzzle cipher is "SHALLBE." and that the result end up as "HUMANITY SHALLBE ENLIGHTENED."

We do think that Nvidia will unveil its next-generation "Pascal" architecture-based GeForce series 1000 GPUs for consumers with GeForce GTX 1070, and the GTX 1080, as early as on 6th May, followed in late may for reference reviews and then channel availability slated for early-June.
