Nvidia will release mainstream GP106 GPUs later this year

According to several sources the equivalent of the GTX 950 and GTX 960 (we don't know the names yet but let's call them GTX 1050 and 1060 for now) would be released later in the year, an Autumn release meaning the Christmas season.



The chip empowering the product will be a 16nm fabbed Pascal under the logical code-name GP106. The GP106 is used for price competitive and sensitive products that hit a good price/perf ratio.

If we chart things up (and the chart below ids very speculative) we see the following. BTW the GP104-400 for the Ti might very well become a GP100 based SKU, which would make more sense

NVIDIA GeForce   Possible
name
Pascal Fab Board Date
GTX Titan X >> TBD GP 100 16nm Reference -> AIB TBD
GTX 980Ti >> GTX 1080 Ti GP 104-400 16nm Reference -> AIB June/July
GTX 980 >> GTX 1080 GP 104-200 16nm Reference -> AIB June
GTX 970 >> GTX 1070 GP 104-150 16nm AIB design June
GTX 960 >> GTX 1060 GP 106 16nm AIB design October
GTX 950 >> GTX 1050 GP 106 16nm AIB design October

So from the looks of it this summer will be all about the successors to the Geforce GTX 970, GTX 980 and GTX 980 Ti.
