They need to release gpu for us gamers. Getting tired of reading titles about new 10** series releases,would not be to surprised we get 1080 ti 5XT ULTRA MeGa titanrocker GAMER edition X Terra-clocked before something new comes... Wouldnt blame anyone if they get the impression its a brand new gpu every time there a new variant gets released...
Hoping volta will come before next summer. Or maybe something from the red team.

Kind of curious to see how this one gets adopted compared to PX2. They opened sourced both the hardware/software for the platform:

I am always amused when reading that every Nvidia's architecture, lets call it N, is nothing but (N-1) on steroids.
If that was true and if indeed "N" was basically yesteryear tech, AMD should be able to surpass NV easily, no?
Yet the gap between the innovator(AMD) and the caveman(NV) is only widening.... haha wtf

TOPs? Uh... does Nvidia understand who their target demographic is? Their potential customers aren't idiots - they're engineers, and they aren't going to be swayed by a marketing gimmick that nobody else uses. Even FLOPs (the original unit of processor performance) is a bit vague by today's standards, since performance varies greatly depending on your calculations.
If Nvidia wanted to have impressive numbers in a way that actually has meaning, they'd mention the FP16 performance - something that the automotive industry is actually likely to use and understand. Xavier is already a good product, but the way Nvidia is marketing it makes it seem like they're trying to up-sell it, as though it isn't good enough vs the competition. Just doesn't make sense - they're shooting themselves in the foot.

I thought TOPS was for Tensor-Ops ? or am I getting it wrong ?
Also, read today that Tesla is going with Intel with their next gen infotainment system, so thats one less customer for Tegra Chips.....

I agree Denial. Course Nvidia isn't marketing to Tesla at all since they know Tesla just signed up with AMD to deliver a semi-custom chip. This was a raw raw for Nvidia's partners so they can prevent others from going to AMD for a semi-custom chip.
