I foresee that this will not help Nvidia with the anger of some investors that think the company went along the crypto-fever and allowed some of its biggest sales to be indeed for crypto miners and not gamers exclusively that provoked price rising due high demand and semiconductor shortage.

Why is that?

Because Nivida just revealed in its Q2 2022 earning reports that missed targets due to the PC market facing challenges and the abrupt fall on PC components demand including GPUs.

Added to the mix, CEO Jensen Huang confirmed to investors that stocks are over their capacity and have already designed a plan with OEM to have a sales campaign with price positioning.

Also, while Nividia DID CONFIRM that has something to announce regarding the next-gen of GPUs, probably the Lovelace Architecture, current Ampere generation will still live along Lovelace.

All this will be at Nvidia's GPU Technology Conference that will have its main keynote on September 19.

The strong rumors that I have read on the Internet is that probably the Lovelace will go first to Data Centers and between a few days, weeks or maybe few months, will be sold to consumers and it will be the GeForce RTX 4090 the one that jumpstarts the next generation of GPU by Nvidia.

Lovelace architecture is expected to go with a SoC in a 4nm manufacturing processing, clock speed estimates of 1.6 to 2.0 GHz depending on the model and while it is expected that Loverlace surpass Ampere in mostly every category, there is one that I would be very wary and is its power consumption and temperature control.

Latest noise suggests that this time Nvidia sacrifices some efficiency in exchange of computing power and this is not necessarily an ideal scenario for the casual PC gamer that does not do its homework on long-term care/maintenance.

Finally, the more common-sense model for consumers, the GeForce 4080 and 4070, respectively for those looking for an ideal 4K and 1440p resolution without hassle, are for the first half of 2023.
