Launched in 2018, NVIDIA’s® Turing™ GPU Architecture ushered in the future of 3D graphics and GPU-accelerated computing. Turing provided major advances in efficiency and performance for PC gaming, professional graphics applications, and deep learning inferencing. Using new hardware-based accelerators, Turing fused rasterization, real-time ray tracing, AI, and simulation to enable incredible realism in PC games, and cinematic-quality interactive experiences. Two years later in 2020, the NVIDIA® Ampere architecture incorporated more powerful RT Cores and Tensor Cores, along with a novel SM structure that offered 2x FP32 performance, clock-for-clock, compared to Turing GPUs. These innovations allowed the Ampere architecture to run up to 1.7x faster than Turing in traditional raster graphics, and up to 2x faster in ray tracing.

Stories help us learn, dream and build common understanding within and across cultures. Media and entertainment companies are our modern storytellers, creating and distributing shared experiences that can bring us together. We, the audience, judge progress – whether we see ourselves portrayed and how, and whether companies are creating communities and leading conversations. To help media and entertainment leaders to understand where the gaps in representation exist today and what the stakes are, the World Economic Forum is proud to share a firstof-its-kind cross-media sector index that measures audience perceptions of representation.
