Nvidia GM200 GPU (GTX Titan II) Spotted
Okay, spotted is a big word here and Titian II is just a name that is totally unconfirmed of course. But it is a trend on the web these days that people lookup shipping bills. And wccftech noticed that shipping data at Zauba.com shows that Nvidia has been moving a sample of a GPU tagged as GM200 core (yes again). Earlier in July we noticed as well. This basically means that Nvidia has taped out the early A1 revision GPUs and engineering samples. This could mean a high-end launch Maxwell GPU as soon as Christmas IF wafer yields are decent enough.
Next month Nvidia is expected to release the GeForce GTX 870 and 880 based on GM204. As expected, the GM200, much like the like the GM204 will be a Maxwell GPU. We are a little unsure whether if the TSMC 20nm node still is giving issues and is used. If that one is problematic then GM200 would be a 28nm part. This means that these processors will be HUGE in size, perhaps even over 620 mm² so we find that a little doubtful as heat would become an immense issue next to wafer yields. Earlier rumors already have indicated that GM200 would feature more than 4000 Shader processors albeit that is gossip of the highest level. Expected though is that the memory bus will be widened up towards 512-bit giving this product a heck of a lot of bandwidth. The GM200-based "GeForce GTX TITAN II" could launch in the first half of 2015, but everything in this post is could have and would have.
Early July we already noticed this shipment:
Nvidia GM200-GPU transport list manifest. But this one was just spotted as well, Nvidia is definitely moving around the GPUs.
This is the new manifest GM200-CS0-A1 and a newer GM200-CS1-A1
Ealier last month some photo's of a mysterious PCB and GPU showed up as well. This could be GTX 870/880 though. This could be Nvidia pending flagship graphics card - don't ya hate the blurry Mosaic ?

I think they are going to release the titan 2 as early as they can with the hopes of amd not being able to counter it at the time of release like the original titan, amd didnt have anything competitive till a few months later. People keep buying these cards nvidia is going to keep selling them.

so if im understanding you correctly gk100 never made it past the testing phases so thats why it was skipped and we first saw gk110? But for maxwell the first will be gm200?
Will HDMI 2.0 be on the titan 2?

here take the 880 folks, oh you want some more well have the 870 too,
AMD respond with something
here take the titan2 folks, oh you want some more well here's some nice Maxwell 860s to get busy with,
AMD respond with something
here take the 880ti folks, .

It'll probably be overpriced as hell knowing Nvidia. And it'll be less then the full chip, then later they'll sell the full chip as Titan Z II.

Who knows what there planning to release, GM200 is the most powerful one, so the Maxwell Titan II i woulda thought as being GM200 with a refresh coming later.
GM204 could be the new 880's that are coming.
http://www.pcr-online.biz/news/read/nvidia-working-on-four-maxwell-gm204-gtx-graphics-cards-report/034326
So they maybe planning to release the GM204 880s with an "early adopting" powerhouse at the same time which maybe Titan II GM200 with refreshes coming later on the Titan II for cheaper price. Rinse and repeat ie: Another mid-range model replacing GM204 and then Titan III comes for early adopters with a refresh coming later at a cheaper price.
Same Strategy as Original Titan and 780Ti.
