TSMC 7nm, next-gen Hopper 5nm

There have been rumors for quite some time about the Nvidia Ampere and the manufacturing nod. Nvidia’s first AI-based solution comes from TSMC, while some GPUs will be manufactured by Samsung too.

It can be quickly assembled with off the shelf parts

Nvidia Chief Scientist Bill Dally has released plans for an open-source ventilator hardware design he developed in order to address the shortage resulting from the global coronavirus pandemic.

This one does not go to 11

Nvidia has produced an audio application and driver which removes microphone background noise on the fly.

Get Amped 

Roughly two months after the original GTC 2020 schedule, Nvidia is ready to host the GTC 2020 spring keynote. The choice of words "Get Amped” in the press release gives you an idea that 7nm Ampere might get released at that time.
