A NEW GENERATION OF GRAPHICS PROCESSORS - DEVELOPED FOR THE PROFESSIONAL SECTOR

GTC 21- NVIDIA today announced a series of eight new NVIDIA Ampere Architecture GPUs for the next generation of laptops, desktops and servers, enabling professionals to work from anywhere without sacrificing quality or time.

With the new NVIDIA RTX™ GPUs, artists can create stunning 3D scenes, designers can iterate impressive building architectures in real time, and engineers can develop breakthrough products on any system.

"Hybrid work is the new normal" said Bob Pette, vice president of professional visualisation at NVIDIA. "RTX GPUs, built on NVIDIA's Ampere architecture, deliver the performance for demanding workloads from any device, so people can be productive from anywhere."

For desktops, the new NVIDIA RTX A5000 and NVIDIA RTX A4000 GPUs feature new RT Cores, Tensor Cores and CUDA® Cores to make AI, graphics and real-time rendering up to 2x faster than previous generations.

The new NVIDIA RTX A2000, NVIDIA RTX A3000, RTX A4000 and RTX A5000 laptop GPUs are designed for professionals who require thin and light devices, delivering accelerated performance without compromising mobility. They incorporate the latest generations of Max-Q and RTX technologies and are supported by the NVIDIA Studio™ ecosystem, which includes exclusive driver technologies that enhance creative apps for optimal levels of performance and reliability.

For the data centre, there is the new NVIDIA A10 GPU and A16 GPU. The A10 provides designers and engineers with up to 2.5x the performance of a virtual workstation compared to the previous generation, while the A16 GPU provides up to 2x user density with a lower total cost of ownership and an improved virtual desktop infrastructure experience compared to the previous generation.

Combined with NVIDIA RTX Virtual Workstation (vWS) and NVIDIA Virtual PC (vPC) software, the A10 and A16 GPUs deliver more power, memory and speed to accelerate any workflow, from graphics and AI to VDI, so users can spend more time working efficiently and productively.
