Hi Steve, we have reached a tipping point in ray tracing (RT) implementation, and it has received widespread support from leading developers, game engines, APIs, consoles and GPUs. As you know NVIDIA has long been involved in RT. Technology is important for the future of the gaming industry, but it is also part of our dedicated R&D effort to revolutionize video games and create the best possible environment.

This philosophy is also reflected in the development of technologies such as DLSS, Reflex and streaming – all of which create tremendous value for customers purchasing graphics cards. They don’t get accelerators (GPs) for free, they work hard to make money, and they stay with their GPs for several years.

Despite all this progress, your GPU reviews and recommendations still focus solely on rasterization performance, and you pretty much leave out all the other technologies we offer players. It’s clear from your community’s comments that you don’t see things the way we, the players and the rest of the industry. Founders Graphics Cards Edition and other NVIDIA products distributed only to the media that recognize the changes in the gaming sector and understand the value of features that are important to players and everyone who buys GPUs today. Be it games, content creation, studio work and broadcasting.

Hardware Unboxed may continue to cooperate with our partners to receive video cards for testing. Of course, you will still have access to preview drivers and press material – that will not change. We are ready to return to this issue in the future if your editorial policy changes.

For now Nvidia backtracked (due to very bad PR from some big sites), but reality I know fully matches the text above

We just received an email from Nvidia apologizing for the previous email & they've now walked everything back. This thing has been a roller coaster ride over the past few days. I’d like to thank everyone who supported us, obviously a huge thank you to @linusgsebastian

PR guys just made error being too open too fast and attacking resource with too good connections (and big sites and channels helped a lot here). Always remember that bureaucrat fear the publicity and responsibility the most.

Camera companies behave 100% same way, but usually keep it all vanilla and nice in public space. But, of course, if you'll be critical and will try to state unpleasant things you will never see any early samples and in this industry it means that you are out of the game.

The Council for Inclusive Capitalism with the Vatican ("the Council"), a historic new partnership between some of the world's largest investment and business leaders and the Vatican, launched today. It signifies the urgency of joining moral and market imperatives to reform capitalism into a powerful force for the good of humanity. Under the moral guidance of His Holiness Pope Francis and His Eminence Cardinal Peter Turkson, who leads the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development at the Vatican, and inspired by the moral imperative of all faiths, the Council invites companies of all sizes to harness the potential of the private sector to build a fairer, more inclusive, and sustainable economic foundation for the world.

The Council is led by a core group of global leaders, known as Guardians for Inclusive Capitalism, who meet annually with Pope Francis and Cardinal Turkson. These leaders represent more than $10.5 trillion in assets under management, companies with over $2.1 trillion of market capitalization, and 200 million workers in over 163 countries. The organization challenges business and investment leaders of all sizes to embrace the Council's guiding principles and make public commitments to act on them. These collective actions are intended to lead to systemic change by making capitalism a greater force for inclusivity and sustainability.

Speaking to the Guardians, Pope Francis said, "An economic system that is fair, trustworthy, and capable of addressing the most profound challenges facing humanity and our planet is urgently needed. You have taken up the challenge by seeking ways to make capitalism become a more inclusive instrument for integral human wellbeing."

The Guardians have already committed to hundreds of measurable actions, and Council members will make ongoing commitments to continue to advance inclusive capitalism. They will be accountable for their public commitments and invite businesses around the world to join. View the full list of actions being taken here.

"Capitalism has created enormous global prosperity, but it has also left too many people behind, led to degradation of our planet, and is not widely trusted in society," said Lynn Forester de Rothschild, Founder of the Council and Managing Partner of Inclusive Capital Partners. "This Council will follow the warning from Pope Francis to listen to 'the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor' and answer society's demands for a more equitable and sustainable model of growth."

Not original idea and will end as all previous similar shit things.

The pixel size should be more reduced to increase the number of pixels in the same chip size. Also, forming deep PD is a key technology to avoid deterioration in image quality. To secure sufficient full well capacity (FWC) in small pixels, patterning and implementing technologies with higher difficulty level compared to the ones for semiconductor memory are required. Especially, it is essential to secure a high aspect ratio (>15:1) implant MASK process technology that can block high-energy ion implantation; in fact, the aspect ratio tends to be gradually increasing in the industry these days.
