NVIDIA to Unveil "Pascal" at the 2016 Computex
NVIDIA is reportedly planning to unveil its next-generation GeForce GTX "Pascal" GPUs at the 2016 Computex show, in Taipei, scheduled for early-June. This unveiling doesn't necessarily mean market availability. SweClockers reports that problems, particularly related to NVIDIA supplier TSMC getting its 16 nm FinFET node up to speed, especially following the recent Taiwan earthquake, could delay market available to late- or even post-Summer. It remains to be seen if the "Pascal" architecture debuts as an all-mighty "GP100" chip, or a smaller, performance-segment "GP104" that will be peddled as enthusiast-segment over being faster than the current big-chip, the GM200. NVIDIA's next generation GeForce nomenclature will also be particularly interesting to look out for, given that the current lineup is already at the GTX 900 series.

PS
Heh, and it will be Samsung 14nm (AMD) vs TSMC 16nm (NV) and what I've heard so far, at least for Apple's chips, TSMC was superior, despite being "bigger".
It's still a long time to wait for anyone that feels they need an upgrade right now.
PS
Yeah, or knockdown from Titan, but the point is, anti-Fury move.
If Samsung are supposedly so far ahead, and I haven't seen any definitive proof that they are - either with yields or process ( 16nmFF vs 14nmLPE was definitely a TSMC win), it makes you wonder why TSMC secured over two-thirds of Apple's A9 business, and are looking increasingly likely to be sole supplier of the A10.
If a past history of bad yields is an indication of things going forward, AMD start ordering in industrial quantites of Xanax for the Zen ramp given Globalfoundries abysmal past record :laugh:
And your proof is more arm?
