Nvidia Big Pascal GP100 To Debut in April - Mid Range GTX 1080 in June

There is a new roadmap floating around on the web showing some interesting stuff. According to that roadmap Nvidia Pascal GPUs are coming to market as early as April, the first one would be a Pascal Titan GPU with more mainstream models released later.

While we all know that 14/15/16nm class product should become available in the May/June timeframe, an April release feels a little premature. Regardless, the high end SKUS will likely be fitted with a GP100 GPU based on a TSMC 16nm process fab. We'll call that GPU Big Pascal with billions of transistors (16 billion rumored).

Two things can happen here, it will have HBM2 which is comlicated, or the cards will use GDDR5X. At the June timeframe Nvidia are rumored to launch the first high-end GP104 GPUs with models GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 (should Nvidia use their old naming scheme). These chips would come in a 37.5×37.5mm BGA package, and has 2152 pins.

The leaked road-map definitely isn't from Nvidia themselves, it was spotted at techfrag, none the less is makes for a good read. Have a peek, click the thumbnail.

As much as we all hate it, yes probably. Only AMD can change this.

i think the big selling points for pascal cards will be new features to get the best out of dx12 , and we start get the dx12 games u need a pascal card to get all the game features and aimed at 4k so 4k becomes the standard and replaces 1080p
