NVIDIA has announced the date for its GTC 2020 online event a few weeks after it was cancelled: May 14, 2020. The company also jibed that the audience should "GET AMPED" which appears to be a nod to the upcoming next generation GPU architecture codenamed: Ampere. The company had obviously been pretty excited about its GTC 2020 conference and had tried its level best to salvage it in any form, first by not cancelling the event, then by turning it into an online only show and finally a presser; but unfortunately for the company none of these had worked out and it was postponed.

The good news it seems is that the delay wasn't a long one and GTC 2020 has been rescheduled to May 14, 2020 - which is just a couple of weeks away. While the company has used the words "Get Amped" in its press release which appears to be an obvious hint to the architecture I would urge some caution where naming is concerned. Until the architecture and GPU are actually revealed, NVIDIA is free to change the naming scheme (in fact they have already done this at 11th hour in the past with the GTX 800 series). That said, it is clear that the company has some big plans for GTC 2020 and this iteration of the event is going to be very exciting.
