NVIDIA Ampere unleashed: NVIDIA announces new GPU architecture, A100 GPU, and accelerator

While NVIDIA's usual presentation efforts for the year were dashed by the current coronavirus outbreak, the company's march towards developing and releasing newer products has continued unabated. To that end, at today's now digital GPU Technology Conference 2020 keynote, the company and its CEO Jensen Huang are taking to the virtual stage to announce NVIDIA's next-generation GPU architecture, Ampere, and the first products that will be using it.

Don't let the term GPU here fool you - this is for the extreme high-end, and the first product with this new GPU architecture will set you back a cool $199,000. Any consumer-oriented GPUs with this new architecture is at the very least a year away.
