It looks like NVIDIA is going to be launching their flagship graphics card based on the "Pascal" architecture, the GeForce GTX Titan P at Gamescom 2016, which is held between August 17-21 in Cologne, Germany. The card is expected to be based off the GP100 silicon and is likely to come in two variants, 16GB and 12GB.
Today at GTC 2016 NVIDIA has just unveiled its fastest GPU to date in the brand new GP100, which is based on the company's next generation Pascal architecture. The GP100 is NVIDIA's most advanced CPU to date and will power the company's Tesla P100 graphics card, which was also just announced.
According to a new rumor floating around it looks like NVIDIA will be changing up the naming for their upcoming GeForce graphics cards. Most of us expected the GeForce GTX 1000 series (that's what comes after 900, of course), but apparently that has too many digits. NVIDIA will instead call its next-generation high-end graphics card series the GeForce X80 series. This series will be based on the performance-segment "GP104" and high-end "GP100" chips. The GeForce X80 series will be made up of the GeForce X80 (performance), GeForce X80 Ti (high-end), and GeForce X80 Titan (enthusiast).
We've haven't heard that much about NVIDIA's Pascal GPU since it was taped out back in June. According to many sources the Pascal GPU will be manufactured on TSMC's 16nm FinFET node. This means that Samsung has failed to win the contract for the latest GPU. The NVIDIA Pascal GPU will be the latest graphics architecture from the company and will feature HBM2, NVLINK, and Mixed Precision Support.
According to a recent report NVIDIA has taped out the silicon for its upcoming Pascal GPU architecture, codenamed GP100. This chip will be the successor to the GM200 silicon that is currently being used in high-end graphics cards like the Titan X. A tape-out is when a company successfully produces a tiny quality of working prototypes for internal testing and further development.
