The likely date for this launch could very well be in the September-October timeframe as most companies expect the COVID situation to be under control by then. According to the source, AIBs have already started clearing inventory of older RTX 2000 models to make way for NVIDIA's upcoming RTX 3000 series. Price cuts are expected to make their way to consumers soon. > Inventory levels of AIBs are usually a very reliable indicator of launch schedules because you will see them drastically reduce levels in the quarter leading up to a launch. This is because as NVIDIA's partners, they know the expected timeline of upcoming products and don't want to be stuck with obsolete SKUs when it happens. The report of China Times more or less confirms that NVIDIA will launch the consumer variant of its Ampere GPU, the RTX 3000 series by Q3 2020. Here is the relevant portion of the now-deleted article:
