NVIDIA Readies GeForce GTX 1050 Based on New GP107 Silicon
NVIDIA is reportedly giving finishing touches to the new GeForce GTX 1050, based on a brand new silicon, dubbed "GP107." NVIDIA's fifth ASIC based on the "Pascal" architecture (after GP100, GP102, GP104, and GP106), the GP107 features 768 CUDA cores, 48 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and a 128-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface, holding 4 GB of memory.
The GTX 1050 should max out all resources present on the chip, and come with clock speeds of up to 1318 MHz core, 1380 MHz GPU Boost, and 7.00 GHz (GDDR5-effective) memory, working out to 112 GB/s of memory bandwidth. NVIDIA could take a crack at running this chip under 75W, or at least under 100W, and position this SKU between the Radeon RX 460 and the RX 470 4 GB.

*If they were AMD.
GTX 750 4GBs were sold next to 2GB GTX 770s,
Even the GTX 660 Ti had 3GB versions when its bigger brothers had 2GBs in most computers sold
Unless this is not a Pascal based chip. Or simply just a bad cut-down version of GP106.
Just checked my glass ball!
There will be a big gap between the 1050 and 1060 3GB. >50% if the reported slow clocks for 1050 are correct. We'll probably see 2GB and 4GB versions of the 1050.
I expect this chip will be Nvidia's mainstream laptop GPU also.
