NVIDIA CEO Makes Interesting Remark, New Gamers GeForce is a long time away from now
Earlier today the first press conferences started in Taiwan, today Nvidia held an invite-only press-conference with Jensen Huang. Nothing ground-breaking or new for the consumer market has been introduced. At the end of the session, however, Journalists asked some questions.
Jensen Huang talked about the renewal of its Jetson platform for autonomous robots with a Xavier-SoC. Nvidia launched a new Jetson Xavier on a form factor less than 10 by 10 cm, the Cortex-A57 cores have been replaced by eight of Nvidia's own 64-bit ARM v8.2 with a GPU based on the Volta architecture, these include Tensor cores supported by 16 GB LPDDR4x memory.
Back to the topic though, when Jensen Huang was asked when gamers can expect a Volta based GeForce card or whatever it'll be called, he answered that prices of the existing Pascal video cards had dropped to a regular level for some time and that gamers could again buy a GeForce GTX 1070, 1080 or 1080 Ti, saying that they were the best video cards that you as a gamer can buy.
Another editor asked for a small hint on the topic, Huang answered. "Do not worry, I will invite you", followed by "It'll be a long time from now". Since the question was slightly specific on Volta, his answer by itself does not eliminate the option of a pascal refresh.

Good. I don't want my 980 Ti to be made obsolete yet. Let's stick to Pascal as the latest GeForce gen for a couple more years.

"Competing with oneself" - Credo put to the test.
Sounds like a draw this time around

If there's a new process node available I'm sure Nvidia will take advantage of it to refresh the existing lineup. More efficiency and/or performance is always welcome and they capitalize on an already existing tech.
That said, to see something new we have to wait for AMD to make the 1080 obsolete with something affordable.

It's definitely process node. 7nm is shipping volume for phone SoC's and such, it's going to take time to get yields acceptable to launch the typical ~300mm2 cards Nvidia does on a new release. Probably end of this year, maybe even early next year. But it would be stupid for them to launch 12nm cards now with 7nm so close to being ready. 12nm is barely an improvement on 16 unless you're doing the 6.5T variant and even then you only get a density improvement which Nvidia doesn't even need. 1080Ti is only 470mm2.

Looks like JayzTwoCents was right. Despite all the rumors and speculations, there was really no solid evidence that a new consumer GPU was coming. As long as Pascal continues to dominate, Nvidia has no reason to release anything new (it's what inevitably happens when there is a lack of competition). As I said before, you should always treat such rumors with a mountain of salt.
Of course Nvidia fans will continue to believe that a new GPU is right around the corner :p (what is a "long time"? A few months? Weeks? Days?)
