What to expect from Nvidia’s GTC keynote

Nvidia’s GTC shows are always packed full of exciting announcements and debuts. The last one in November 2022 featured the launch of the RTX 4090 and 4080, as well as showcases of DLSS 3 and new Nvidia in-car entertainment systems. GTC 2023, however, is said to focus much more on artificial intelligence.

The secret’s out. Thanks to ChatGPT, everyone knows about the power of modern #AI.

But despite Nvidia making major investments in AI hardware and software over the years, from its automated vehicle technologies to Tensor cores in its consumer GPUs, the conversation is moving swiftly in the AI space, and Nvidia is not at the forefront of it. With ChatGPT, Google Bard, and Microsoft’s Bing AI-augmented search, Nvidia faces an uphill battle to regain some mindshare when it comes to AI.

However, it is poised to take a big swing at that lofty goal, where it is likely to show off what its GPUs can do when powering localized AI, and some new software developments it has made on AI models of its own. It’s calling this year’s Spring GTC the “No. 1 AI developer conference,” arguably rebranding it from its titular GPU focus.

We may also hear the first details about future GPU architectures, like Blackwell, which is the expected successor for the existing RTX 40-series Ada Lovelace GPUs.

Jensen Huang will also talk about new metaverse and cloud technologies, as well as sustainable computing.

Nvidia released a short teaser for the keynote, which doesn’t reveal many details, but does whet our appetite for what’s to come.

No, generative AI isn’t taking over your PC games anytime soon

Surprise -- the internet is upset. This time, it's about a recent article from PC Gamer on the future of generative AI in video games. It's a topic I've written about previously, and something that game companies have been experimenting with for more than a year, but this particular story struck a nerve.

Redditors used strong language like "pro-AI puff piece," PC Gamer itself issued an apology, and the character designer for Bioshock Infinite's Elizabeth called the featured image showing the character reimagined with AI a "half-assed cosplay." The original intent of the article is to glimpse into the future at what games could look like with generative AI, but without the tact or clear realization of how this shift affects people's jobs and their creative works.

25 years ago, Nvidia changed PCs forever

Twenty-five years ago, Nvidia released the GeForce 256 and changed the face of PCs forever. It wasn't the first graphics card produced by Nvidia -- it was actually the sixth -- but it was the first that really put gaming at the center of Nvidia's lineup with GeForce branding, and it's the device that Nvidia coined the term "GPU" with.

Nvidia is celebrating the anniversary of the release, and rightfully so. We've come an unbelievable way from the GeForce 256 up to the RTX 4090, but Nvidia's first GPU wasn't met with much enthusiasm. The original release, which lines up with today's date, was for the GeForce 256 SDR, or single data rate. Later in 1999, Nvidia followed up with the GeForce 256 DDR, or dual data rate.
