NVIDIA will not launch Ampere before Volta or leave the latter in the gutter, since the existing data shows that this is not feasible, unless there is some change that requires it.
A week ago, what will be a new generation of GPU was unveiled by NVIDIA, which is codenamed Ampere. We don't know anything about this new architecture, but the Roadmap has been discussed a lot in an indirect way, making variations of it. Initially the company had planned to launch graphics cards based on Volta in the last quarter of this year, but it has not been the case, since the plan was based on the AMD RX Vega, which are not even close to what was expected, by of both companies.
Volta was therefore delayed. We have data on when they were released and the timeframe for when these graphics cards were released, unfortunately we cannot reveal it. We also have data, which indicates that due to the strategic delay, Founders Edition models and developer models will be released by manufacturers at the same time or with a margin of less than a month. Manufacturers and NVIDIA have stock ready to supply the market with surpluses, but they are not in a hurry to launch them, because they will represent a brutal leap, more than is predictable, according to sources.
Therefore, Ampere is unlikely to be a graphic architecture prior to Volta, it will always be later and it would arrive in 2019, if we take into account the data we have. Thus, there is no data that Ampere arrives before Volta or the replacement, giving a generational leap, if it were to be the case, the Ampere data should be given six months, more or less before launch, a common protocol in NVIDIA, Therefore, we should see Ampere-based products for professional segments, such as supercomputing, Artificial Intelligence, Data Centers and, of course, Quadro, curiously, products that we have already seen with Volta and that are beginning to be distributed by the company.
We must be cautious, because Ampere is the future, a distant future even and we already know that a month seen in the hardware world is a world, since things change at the speed of light. We don't want to overlook the name chronology. Volta and Ampere make clear reference to Ohm's Law, which indicates that V = I / R, where V is the voltage or voltage, I is the current or intensity, which is measured in Amps and R is the resistance that is measured. measured in Ohms, therefore the replacement of Ampere series somewhat related to this magnitude.
