"Get Amped" for Nvidia Ampere GPU announcement at May GTC keynote.

Get ready for Jen-Hsun's leather jacket! Following the cancellation of the Nvidia CEO's keynote in March, Nvidia has announced that esteemed leader Jen-Hsun Huang will return to the digital stage on May 14 at 6:00 PT (14:00 BST).

And it looks like Huang has a surprise in store for avid GPU technology fans. Barring any last-minute bait-and-switch from the Green Team, the event should mean the announcement of the next-generation graphics card architecture, Nvidia Ampere.

"Get excited for the latest platform breakthroughs in AI, deep learning, autonomous vehicles, robotics, and professional graphics," the Nvidia news post reads.

While Ampere will likely be the GPU technology driving the next generation of professional cards built for datacenters and deep learning, Jen-Hsun will be the one that will be on the next generation of Nvidia GeForce graphics cards will also provide a glimpse of what's to come.

The Nvidia GTC 2020 keynote can be viewed live on Nvidia's YouTube channel.

The GTC was moved online due to a coronavirus outbreak, and the original GTC 2020 keynote scheduled for March 23 was postponed indefinitely. Juan then issued a letter on March 16 titled "GTC news can wait," citing that "now is not the appropriate time" for the announcement originally scheduled for the GTC.

However, it now appears that May is the appropriate time; stay tuned to Ampere.
