NVIDIA AIB Manli: GA104-400 Registered, GeForce GTX 2070 and 2080 Listed

There's just no quieting the rumor mill. It's like we're walking through a field that's made entirely of small pieces of stone that we inadvertently kick - and under every stone, another tidbit, another speculation, another pointer - a veritable breadcrumb trail that's getting more and more convoluted. Even as we were getting sort of decided in regards to NVIDIA's next-generation hardware and its nomenclature and model number - 1100 series - we now have two distinct sources and reports popping one right after the other that point to a 2000 series - and that also suggests Ampere might be in the cards for the next-gen product after all.

Case in point: NVIDIA AIB Manli Technology Group has registered at portal.eaeunion.org (with the Eurasian Economic Union) product listings that include references to some NVIDIA GA104 and GA104-400 products, as well as nomenclature for NVIDIA's next-gen cards as being GTX 2070 and GTX 2080. Granted, this could be a registration for future, future products, but it's very unlikely. The jury is still out on this leak, but if ever the carousel will stop spinning, we don't know it.

It would be great if we actually saw a new gaming oriented architecture instaed of nvidia pushing HPC oriented volta for gamers.

20xx naming? No way, that's just wrong. It should be 11xx to follow on logically. Maybe it's marketing screwing it up again.

Applying occams razor. I believe those are typos because 1070 and 1080 are missing from the list and would appear where the 2070 and 2080 are on the list.

Given the MSRP they'll be placing on them, jumping ahead another generation can "constitute" the justification marketing needs.

And how did the do it a decade ago? Both AMD and NVIDIA.

CPUs do the same thing. The first digit should constitute the generation. Replacing 1080 with a 1180 is not very noticeable.

They've increased it by 1 many times when going to a new generation. No need for a difference here.

That would be four typos that are consistent with each other. That seems unlikely, very unlikely. I think the two lists are unrelated. In other words, 1070 and 1080 were mislisted as 2070 and 2080 as suggested. No name was given/associated with the Ampere cards.

Edit: 62 card names to 85 GPU models. List is definitely not 1:1.

Huh? They used four digits - GeForce 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000. Then they reset it to three digits and started with 200.

AMD did exactly the same, but they went from 7000 to 200.

As for Russia, in order to import electronics to the country, you have to certify your products and prove that they don't contain certain "bad" encryption algorithms. This is why this website exists and why it's strictly in Russian.

The document you're seeing is a "notification" which contains a list of new products, which haven't been certified earlier. The fact that certain previous GeForce GPUs are missing only means either that they've never been imported to the country earlier or they already have a notification which was issued in the past.

The referenced document (and all others at this website) is 100% official - it's not some rumors website with some made-up info.

More info:

www.mintest-russia.com/sertifikatsiya-produktsii/notifikatsiya-fsb/
certificate.net/FSS-notification
files.export.gov/x_3593167.pdf

With 99.9% certainty it all ultimately means that the next gen of NVIDIA GPUs will have 20XX prefix.

qubit20xx naming? No way, that's just wrong. It should be 11xx to follow on logically. Maybe it's marketing screwing it up again.

It makes perfect sense. 30XX, 40XX, 50XX sound a thousand times better than 11XX, 12XX, 13XX, 14XX, etc.

In the end it's just bloody numbers which mean exactly nothing. I don't understand why so many people are obsessed over the naming scheme. NVIDIA could as well call the next gen GPUs: GeForce 1 (2080Ti), 2 (2080), 3 (2070), and 4 (2060). Won't change anything at all.

Not necessarily. It can work in both ways and by standards of entire graphics history till now (20 years of history), new generation NEVER happened without change of first digit. They may call new series "GTX ten eighty" assuming "ten" is the series, but that's not how cards were ever named chronologically. It's funny how people don't understand this. You can't release a NEW product that looks like a model within old series. Which, GTX 1180 would be to the GTX 1080.

I mean, just look at NVIDIA cards of the long past (I may skip some model numbers)...

GeForce 256 (a bit of an odd one because it's the first time using GeForce branding)
GeForce 2 (MX, GTS, Ultra)
GeForce 3 (3, Ti200, Ti500) (a bit of an odd one because it's the first time using Titanium/Ti in the name)
GeForce 4 (MX, Ti4200, Ti4400, Ti4600, Ti4800) (first time combination of both odd ones from the past)
GeForce 5 (FX5200, FX5400, FX5600, FX5800, FX5900, FX5950)
GeForce 6 (6200, 6500, 6600, 6700, 6800)
GeForce 7 (7100, 7200, 7300, 7500, 7600, 7800)
GeForce 8 (8200, 8500, 8600, 8800)
GeForce 9 (9100, 9300, 9500, 9600, 9800)
GeForce GTX 200 (205, 230, 240, 250, 260, 270, 280)
GeForce GTX 400 (420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 480)
GeForce GTX 500 (520, 540, 550, 560, 570, 580)
GeForce GTX 600 (620, 640, 650, 660, 670, 680)
GeForce GTX 700 (720, 740, 750, 760, 770, 780)
GeForce GTX 900 (910, 920, 930, 940, 950, 960, 970, 980)
GeForce GTX 1000 (1030, 1050, 1060, 1070, 1080)
GeForce GTX 2000 (2030, 2050, 2060, 2070, 2080)

See the natural order of new generations, particularly major numbers that are in the front? Even when they change the numbering scheme, things don't change. Just like 8GB is always more than 4GB VRAM no matter how you turn it and that hypes the clueless users, thats how big number changes in the front do the same. In fact, just look how product refreshes do to "clueless" consumers. Sell the same GPU with a 1 number higher "version" and they'll grab it coz it's the latest, just for the number, even though it really isn't. What makes you think they'll go and ruin a working numbering model for consumers? Also saying they'll run out of numbers faster this way, it gives you a decade full of model numbers. Nvidia made several such leaps so far, what makes you think they can't call cards after GTX 9080 a "GeForce N1000" series (N1200, N1400, N1600, N1800) for example and continue with N2200, N2400, N2600, N2800 etc? Coz that's the most likely course they'll go...

It is however odd that they picked GTX 1080 instead of GTX 1800. It's not like it's similar to any model of the past or be similar to AMD's model of the past. I mean, Radeon x1800 happened ages ago and it's not even relevant anymore on any level.

Maybe they'll release both , 1170-1180 pascal /turing refresh on 12nm and ampere next gen with a few tensors in 2070-2080 , at even higher prices , seriously is guess work unless you actually know something which not many do, i personally wonder but come August we should know more , maybe even some facts, that'd be nice.

Nah, now 2432 Cuda for 11/2070. 1070ti with GDDR6 +75% bandwidth... The core is too small ~360 sq.mm, it is pascal +512 Core. Besides 20xx sounds better in relation to 2160p. True cards are at 7nm, this is refresh stopgap filler.

Noticed something interesting now that you've listed them all out like that - an ambiguity I hadn't noticed before. We need one more in the series to resolve it.

If they're just numbering them sequentially, then it should go 1180, 1280 etc.
If it's the leading digit then it should go 2080, 3080 etc.

I think you're right about it being the leading digit, especially now with this latest news. Well spotted and well argued! :)

Harry LloydAnd how did the do it a decade ago? Both AMD and NVIDIA.

CPUs do the same thing. The first digit should constitute the generation. Replacing 1080 with a 1180 is not very noticeable.

Given rejzor's reply and the latest news, I've changed my mind and think you're right too. :)

If it were the "10" series, the cards would be named like the 9 series. IOW 10500(1050), 10600(1060), 10700(1070), 10800(1080).

One could argue that NVIDIA have made a typo in the slide, because 10xx makes more sense. How else do you get names like 1060, 1070, 1080 etc? They could have also done a bit of shorthand, because they thought it looked better on a presentation slide.
