If you want to watch along at home, Nvidia is live streaming the keynote on YouTube. I'll also embed the video at the top of this page.
We are about 10 minutes out from the keynote starting...
I wonder if we'll hear and see more about DLSS 5? Its announcement was certainly controversial, with critics saying that it's little more than an AI beauty filter that detracts from artists' original intent in games. There was quite the backlash, so it'll be interesting to see if Huang addresses this, and possibly demonstrates the technology to give us a better idea of what it does, or if he doesn't bring it up at all...
As we reported last month, there's also a feeling that Nvidia is losing interest in graphics cards. While the company is clearly making much more money from AI, it would be a real shame if it stopped making GPUs.
I can't see that happening myself, but if this keynote barely mentions graphics cards, and instead focuses on AI and the rumored N1X chip, then those fears won't disappear.
One thing I'm not expecting at this year's keynote is a new GPU. There hasn't been much talk of a successor to Nvidia's 50 series graphics cards, and considering the current memory shortage, which has seen price rises for existing graphics cards, I don't think there's much appetite from Nvidia to launch a new GPU any time soon.
Here I am with my press pass. Apologies for the dishevelled look, I'm a bit jet lagged. It's currently 10:16am in Taiwan.
As you can see, the hall in Taipei Music Center, where the keynote will take place, is already nearly full, 45 minutes before the presentation starts.
More leaks have emerged overnight about Nvidia's rumored Arm-based chip for laptops, so we could be in for a treat during this keynote. Hopefully there won't be too much AI and data center stuff...
Good morning from Taipei, Taiwan! I've taken a seat ready for Nvidia's keynote presentation, and the hall is filling up quickly. We're about an hour away from Jensen Huang taking to the stage.
