So something pretty interesting: Tweak Town’s Anthony Garreffa reports that NVIDIA could tease its ‘Ampere’ GPU at GTC 2019 – which is happening next week. Ampere and Turing caused quite a lot of confusion in the run-up to the Turing and RTX launch but just to clarify to our readers here, Ampere (now at any rate) is the codeword for NVIDIA’s 7nm series GPUs. Considering AMD has already launched the 7nm Vega, GTC would be the perfect time for the company to show off its 7nm GPU as well.

Since the last couple of years, NVIDIA has maintained an upper hand over Radeon in terms of the GPU tech involved and while NV has a process-decoupled methodology – there’s only so much you can do on a given node without shrinking down. The fact that AMD beat them to the punch for the first professional 7nm GPU become little more than bragging rights if NVIDIA could match that feat before either company starts shipping them in volume.
