Rememner a few days ago that I posted a rumor about Nvidia launching a new architecture in April named Ampere? Well, Reuters says that they'll actually reveal one codenamed Turing:

"Analysts also say Nvidia’s competitive advantage is only likely to increase when it moves its Volta chip architecture, launched last year and only currently present in data-center GPUs, into gaming chips later this year.

The new GPU gaming chip, code named Turing, is expected to be unveiled next month. Even without it, Nvidia’s revenue from gaming rose 29 percent to $1.74 billion in the fourth quarter, accounting for more than half of its total revenue."

 

Guru3D guesses that this new architecture would be for AI products: "Turing would sound more related and better fitted to AI products (Turing test for artificial intelligence). A Turing machine is a hypothetical machine thought of by the mathematician Alan Turing in 1936. Despite its simplicity, the machine can simulate ANY computer algorithm, no matter how complicated it is! Above is a very simple representation of a Turing machine."

Meanwhile, Wccftech guess that it's the same rumord Ampere architecture with a name change ("NVIDIA decided to ditch the Ampere codename because it’s very similar to another company – an ARM server maker called Ampere -") or a new architecture to cater the crypto craze because: "Since there have been rumors floating of a cryptocurrency focused product from the company soon then it could mean that the Turing GPU is actually the one NVIDIA will market as the mining variant. This makes a semblance of sense, because Alan Turing is well known for his work on cryptography."

 

I'll leave it up to you to decide which one you believe, or if don't believe in neither.
