NVIDIA Unveils GTC 2024 Keynote Teaser: A Deep Dive into the World of AI
NVIDIA is currently generating excitement for its upcoming keynote at the Graphics Technology Conference (GTC) scheduled for March 18, positioning the event as the “Number 1 AI Conference for Developers.” After three years of virtual conferences, GTC 2024 is set to return to an in-person format. While GTC is a series of events worldwide, the spring keynote in San Jose holds particular significance.
Traditionally focusing on data centers and workstations, GTC’s emphasis is now entirely on AI. NVIDIA is anticipated to provide updates on its next-generation General Purpose GPU (GPGPU) accelerators, particularly the Blackwell architecture. Expectations include insights into Blackwell, NVIDIA’s next-gen architecture, with the B100 and GB200 products highlighted in recent roadmaps for the 2024–2025 period. Notably, the previous year concentrated on Hopper updates, introducing more powerful H200 and GH200 accelerators.
The official preview video accentuates Generative AI applications, showcasing the WPP/NVIDIA engine for digital advertising, the newly introduced Chat with RTX, an industrial metaverse powered by SyncTwin, AI art from Refik Anadol Studio, and OpenAI generating code for Blender animations.
Historically, GTC has not extensively addressed consumer graphics, and this trend is expected to continue at the upcoming event. While the focus remains on developers, it’s worth noting that there have been exceptions, such as GTC 2014, where NVIDIA featured a high-end GPU like the TITAN Z series.
