Because X1 was cheaper I guess...Pascal is just unbeatable huh. How come Switch didn't get Pascal? Lol

I just bought a 1080ti
The reason we've put the word in quotes is because 12nm isn't really a new node at all. Here's how TSMC's CC Wei described it in TSMC's last quarterly conference call.
[O]ur strategy is continuously to improve every node in the performance, such as 28 nanometer. And are continuing to improve the 16 nanometers technology. And we have some very good progress, and you might call it the 12 nanometer because we're improve in the density, classical density, performance and power consumption. Yes, we have that.
I've just never heard anyone saying this until you did yesterday. There's nothing on the roadmap after Volta, seems odd there'd be this new thing straight out of the left field that comes out in the next 6 without even a name.
Well, my own confidence in this slowly went from "no way" to "welp, it's happening" in the last month or so. Too many people are hinting on this lately. And there's plenty on the roadmap after Volta, NV just decided to not disclose it anymore prior to launch for some reason.
Who has been hinting that Volta won't ever be commercial? Not saying you're wrong I just don't know where this is coming from.
I'll assume looking at this, TSMCs 12nm a half step from their 16nm, given that it's not represented in full node steps? I wonder if it'll even match Intels 14nm in size.
Node naming is such bull.
Edit: Yup
Would have probably been called a + version of the same node in Intel parlance.
What's Quadcore Audio?
The only public hint so far is in Fuad's June post.

There is no mobile Tegra with Pascal. The only Tegra which has Pascal is the one used for cars.
Wait, so Volta is coming to consumers / gamers afterall, even if it's early 2018 ?
Methinks Nvidia will have stripped Volta of the Tensor cores, upped the core clockspeed, redesigned the memory bus for GDDR6, tagged it with a new architecture name, but we'll still see Gx104 in GTX 1180 and Gx102 in GTX 1180 Ti / Titan. Overall the redesigned consumer Volta (or whatever its's called) won't be a major improvement over Pascal cards. The next big leap will have to wait until the 2019 architecture on 7nm.
I do wonder if the inevitable Switch refresh will have some kind of future Tegra variant on a new arch+node at a much lower power draw or whether it would have to keep maxwell for compatibility.
Tegra Parker (X2) basically is X1 made with Pascal arch... same config with better clocks and power draw.There is no mobile Tegra with Pascal. The only Tegra which has Pascal is the one used for cars.

So yes nVidia has the X1 Pascal version.
Nintendo choose X1 over X2 because the first was cheaper.
or maybe they had a bunch of 20nm laying around and wanted to get rid of it, and gave nintendo a discount price..
How? Do you think nVidia has enough chips lying on warehouses to supply Switch? C'mon... nVidia just increased and entered in mass production of X1 with Switch.or maybe they had a bunch of 20nm laying around and wanted to get rid of it, and gave nintendo a discount price..
The last rumor was Nvidia had a volume contract with TSMC and Nintendo was handy to fulfill it so they didn't have to pay some kind of penalty.How?

What happened is the more simple business... X1 was cheaper to Nintendo than X2.

20nm was used for Apple A8 so I don't think it was a low volume process.While chip makers do sometimes book foundries in advance to make sure that whatever they are launching wouldn't be fighting for production resources, I find it very unlikely that this was the case with TX1 on 20nm. 20nm is a low volume process for TSMC and it's a minor node for NV as well. It's also highly unlikely that NV would book any capacity prior to having an idea on where this product will go to.
As I've said, a dumb theory. I believe it's SA who's spreading this?
Once Volta and Coffee Lake release, I'm definitely gonna be building a new PC!
Gonna be able to finally replace my 980 Ti + 6700k computer and just relegate it to a streaming computer or something.

That's basically how I function. Got a 1080 AMP Extreme just sitting on the shelf. Eagerly awaiting Volta and Coffee Lake.Lol some people man
Are you streaming in 8K?

I'll be all over that 1180 Ti. That will probably be the first card to offer true native 4k/60fps Ultra settings in pretty much every modern game. I pretty much need it for CyberPunk 2077.
I'm guessing we'll see it about 12 months from now.
Lol some people man
20nm was used for Apple A8 so I don't think it was a low volume process.
Am I correct in thinking this SM contains 8 tensor cores and 32 FP64 cores and that these would likely not make it into a Geforce design?
Sorry for the bump.
When do you guys think Volta is coming? I'm holding off on upgrading my PC and since Vega turned out to be a bust, I'm holding out for Volta.
My guess is maybe early Q2 next year.Sorry for the bump.

Can I be optimistic and say Q1 2018 right after the holiday?Sorry for the bump.
