New Rumors: GeForce GTX 1180, 2080

It has been a long time and a long road of rumors, however, the rumors now slowly seem to be solidifying. Nvidia would be briefing engineering employees for a new graphics card. The graphics card series would be Turing.

The name Turing has come up a couple of times already, Reuters at one point mentioned an NVIDIA GPU called Turing, they tagged it as a gamers card, which really contradicted with the name Turing. Turing would be a name better suited to AI and HPC products (Turing test for artificial intelligence). As to what it precisely is, nobody outside the ring of insiders really knows. Most of us expect a Pascal respin with GDDR6 memory though. As to what it's called, GeForce GTX 1180, 2080 we can only guess.

The latest rumor is that Nvidia would be training development and engineering departments, which really is all the news there is today. The rumor comes from Tom's Hardware Germany where they have "unofficially learned from some board partners that Nvidia has already started training the relevant employees from the development departments."

The piece they wrote contains a lot of usage of the word 'if'. Media also claim that a BoM (Bill of materials needed to produce these cards) would have been released, however, if you read the piece article a bit more clearly, it's merely based on an assumption. 

"If you follow the 3-month rule, the first board partner cards should appear on the market in late August or early September. However, some of the partners are now expecting a shift of at least two weeks, so that September seems rather plausible"

Well, at least we know something is brewing in that kettle.
