Didn't we already know that? I thought the whole plan was mid range chips this year to double dip next year, ala Maxwell and Kepler.

I think most people were, but there was still some hope out there. Is Q1'17 for system builders with P100 modules in their systems, or PCIe based Tesla cards?

I'm still hoping that we might see a Titan in summer '17, but we'll see.

Yeah it was expected, but this confirms it.

The X00 cards are the impressive cards. 980 was a huge disappointment for someone on a 780ti, if we're getting mid range geforce cards as flagships again, I'd like to see a better improvement than that from the new geforce flagship. Upgrading for 10%, and 20% after driver shens down the road, is underwhelming.
 
I bailed out on the feed....Nothing of interest too me so far. If any Pascal for the mortals news drops I'm sure it'll be posted in here anyways.

Just helped my son build a new gaming rig with a 6700k. I advised him to hold off on a GPU purchase for the time being. His 7870 does his rig no justice currently. Eagerly awaiting news from both camps to decide on what GPU will work best for him.
 
That clock is through the roof. I wonder what kind of overclocking we're going to see. Same as Maxwell or are they being more aggressive at stock?

Wow. 300W too. Beast. Only 3584 Cuda cores though.

thats fp32 cores. + 1792 fp 64 cores means it is actually 5376

Also confirmed 610mm2 - even bigger than GM200. New node and right to the reticle limit right away. incredible

I think that's the limit with Pascal, they've done this in order to counter Intel on the HPC front.
I don't expect more than 5~15% OC potential with the fully enabled GP100 chip, that too with copious amounts of cooling.

Going 1/2 DP must be taking up a ton of space. It's only 75% faster than GM200 in SP. So you figure that's the upside of any possible dGPU from nVidia for maybe 2-3 years.

Yes and no. P100 is 15B xtors versus 8B for GM200, an increase of 87.5%. P100 is 5376 CUDA cores (FP32 and FP64) versus 3168 on GM200, an increase of 69.7%.

So an average CUDA cores is roughly 10% more xtors on P100, not really a huge amount, especially when considering that P100 is 33% FP64 cores, versus only 3% on GM200.

The more interesting thing is arguably that FF16+ isn't scaling as well as some predicted, with only an 88.4% increase in transistor density, whereas people where predicting a 120% increase relative to 28nm. At least it appears to clock incredibly well.

Those people that said Pascal is just Maxwell shrink don't know what they're talking about as usual.

You're right, Pascal is Maxwell shrink plus the FP64 CUDA cores from Kepler (GK110) added back in 😛

Does that 610 mm^2 include everything on the substrate or just the GPU? My initial guess is that it's the whole shebang.
