Fact: COVID-19 is paralyzed by the world, and no one is saved. If someone was still waiting at this point NVIDIA to present its Ampere graphics during the GTC, even if it was in an online streaming event, the company president simply came close.
This is not the time for introductions
It was NVIDIA's own CEO, Jen-sen Huang, who during this time made an announcement about the NVIDIA situation.
"We have some great news and updates to share with you. But now is not the time. For now, we will not share the news we had with the GTC, so that our staff, collaborators, media and analysts, as well as our customers around the world, can focus on the safety and minimization of COVID-19. ”
You see, then, the CEO of NVIDIA himself said that now is not the time to expose anything – apparently Ampere, of course – and that the most important thing is for people to stay safe to try to reduce the spread of the virus. In this case, he also pointed out the company's way of continuing in these difficult times:
“However, we will do a lot of streaming with a lot of content, from the developers who have been having GTC-ready conversations in gaming. But right now, we're at a time when the important thing is to have family and friends. Our staff work from home. Foreign workers do not have to work, but we will still pay them. I hope everyone stays safe, we will get out of this together.
When will the Ampere show up?
You have the answer to this question in the article, and that the NVIDIA manager simply said that now is not the time to introduce anything and you should focus on managing the COVID-19 epidemic and staying safe. Ampere is obviously already in the ready-to-launch room, and this means that once the virus epidemic is under control (and possibly eliminated), we can find ourselves in two potential scenarios:
- NVIDIA will handle a the launch event.
- They will wait for the next big event to do it (Computex, CES, etc.)
Although they didn't say anything about it, these two options make the most sense. In any case, we have to wait, in this situation, it is not something that will be resolved by two weeks of home closure, so we can be patient.
