Most people are aware this isn't for consumer GPUs, but you usually get enough of a glimpse into quadro tech / gpu developments that it can be extrapolated to consumer.

All I've seen here is a marble game running on a q8000. The rest is rehashed Turing news, minecraft reaction vids. I at least expected some DLSS 3 info or actual quadro specs.
 
Looks like a massively powerful chip. Even if we discount the "20x faster" claim as marketing hype, the 2.5x performance gain over Volta is impressive, and the new capabilities pretty cool for AI/ML.

But it's also around 2.5x the transistors, and even though it's 7vm, a pretty big-ass chip. Hell, "the world's largest 7nm chip" !!

Yeah, this might be a Volta scenario, with Ampere's Turing equivalent coming later as a refined design that's got things like RT baked in that aren't really useful in the data centre, and smaller silicon. Even if they still call it "Ampere".
 
So, basically, what we can expect for consumers based on the latest rumours (from accurate leakers):

GA102
GA104
GA103 got cancelled

ES1eBPxUEAIEyGl


Essentially, Turing 2.0. Everything moves down one spot down the stack and just one new spot advances in terms of performance. Question is, what will the prices be, will it stick to $999/1200 GA102? I imagine we'll see similar refresh situation as with Supers. Clearly this year we won't get the lower end of the stack.

GA102 (3080 ti) 140% - $999
GA104 (3080? 3070? depends on the cuts for GA102) 95% - $699
 
Anyone that was expecting anything but data centre relevant information from that were seriously misguided. In terms of the performance increase for data centre workloads and AI training, Ampere is knocking it out of the park.

Whether that level of performance increase can be translated to consumer grade products is a whole different kettle of fish, but I'm quietly optimistic. Time the 970 got replaced and I'm getting bored using the 2070 Max-Q in the laptop :D

Blows a hole in those 7nm can't do 800mm2, etc. comments heh.

Hate these reveals. Always disappointing. These companies don't progress quick enough.

Yeah I didn't expect any different. Just the odd snippets.
