I'm surprised there is no metal surrounding the socket ? I hope there is no chance of cards bending and solder cracking...

Looks fake to me...;)

And not a word from anyone from the massive die size. suddenly not a problem like it would be if this was a AMD chip

What's the problem with die sizes? Anyways if this exists, it's like 30% bigger due to tensor cores. The problem with AMD is they use way too much power out of the box, pretty poor perf per watt. Not just vega but also polaris, ie rx 580 vs 1060. I don't think anyone cares about die sizes as long as they perform as expected.

actually, i'd be shocked if they did use tensor cores. they talked a lot to investors about differentiating gpu's so pros have to buy quadros and titans. the first thing they mentioned was tensor cores.

That's not an SLI connector. That's the new NVLINK connector which is the new and VERY much improved bridge between as many cards as you can squeeze into a mobo. NVLINK will bring back double power from 2 or more cards and do it properly. Might be time to get 2 cheaper cards linked again over a single expensive card. 2 2070's will be amazing performance if the new NVLINK works fully.

I'm going to skip this and wait for next years 7nm shrink i think, this is looking like the 200 series all over again.

If they allow Nvlink on 2070's... 😉

It will likely be reinforced with a back-plate (as in the 1080 FE). https://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/geforce-gtx-1080-founders-edition
On the FE picture, i can see 8 holes for the cooler just around the socket, and the drawing on the PCB shows that a socket strengthener is possible. On the Turing PCB picture, i can only see 4 holes, and no PCB pictures of anything to strengthen the socket.
