The HotChips conference is always very interesting. Might get release dates for XSX that day, a preview on Tiger Lake and XE Graphics card (probably not a release yet for Tiger Lake, the specs of leaked TL chips were rather underwhelming so far to say the least). POWER 10 will be interesting to see if IBM can catch up again on Intel and eat up server market share from Intel. But I'm most curious what Jim Keller has to say out of that bunch.

Ice Lake SP is also having a keynote, so I guess release will start around that date. The ThunderX3 are interesting at the other end of the spectrum, being based on the ARM architecture. Could become very dangerous for the small company server business of both Intel and AMD if this one would take off.

Most interesting will be what I call the lunchtime duel: At 12:00 AMD will present their Ryzen 4000 Desktop APUs while at 12:30 Intel comes with Tiger Lake And at 17:30 NVidia will unveil Ampere, possibly launching that day, too. Little bummer: This probably only covers the professional Quadro versions of Ampere, not the consumer parts.
