NVIDIA to Announce Ampere at GTC in 2020?
Aside from fast 360 Hz monitors, things have been silent for NVIDIA at CES on the desktop front. However new industry reports indicate that Nvidia plotted an announcement date for its new architecture Ampere GPUs at GTC 2020, which will take place from March 22 to 26.
The news, however, remains to be based upon logic expectations and a rumor. Earlier on the CEO of Nvidia mentioned that there will be a 7 nm product, and a recent report by analyst group recommended investing in Nvidia now "will have their first releases to 7 nm over the next 9 months."
Other rumors have indicated that Ampere will have 50% more performance with only half of the consumption compared to Turing, thanks to improvements in architecture and the reduction to 7nm. There was also another rumor that mentioned that we will see the announcement of the architecture in March, adding that we will not see products based on this architecture until June.

Well, it will be interesting to see how the "50% more performance at 50% less power consumption" pitch will hold up in reviews once the cards hit the market. Sounds too good to be anything but a sales pitch. Prices will be another thing as well...

Let's hope this rumor is true:
Because then maybe this rumor will be true:
Let's hope this rumor is true:
this information comes shortly after an unknown AMD Radeon appeared on the OpenVR benchmarking software offering a score higher than an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti.
Because then maybe this rumor will be true:
the Ampere cards are allegedly going to market cheaper than the Turing cards (especially the high-end RTX 3080 and RTX 3080 Ti), presumably to compete with AMD.

I think that if Ampere is going to perform as the rumor claims, then I'm absolutely sure that it will not be cheaper at all and very likely far more expensive than the current lineup. NVIDIA produces huge chips compared to AMD and they are really great that they can optimize design to solve all the problems associated with it, but producing one large chip is still going to be expensive, on smaller node even more so.

I doubt that they will have 50% less power consumption and 50% more performance. That can be assumed that they provide 50% more performance at 50% less power usage on a specific clock. That doesn't mean card will be equally efficient at 100% performance.
If NVIDIA achieved such efficient, we will have the same story as with GTX 580, where NVIDIA achieved higher efficiency but instead of offering a significantly better product for the consumer, they have offered a mid range product, for the price of the high end product. Thus started the insane price increase era fpr the GPU market.
They did it once, they will do it again, UNLESS AMD will come up with a highly competitive product. Otherwise, next gen will be yet another 10% performance increase, with 50% more profitability for NVIDIA as in this case yet again they will be able to sell lower class silicon as a high end version.
