Ah, an angle I didn't even consider.
Welps, there you go. NV might just segment it if they got the means.
I'd probably want to sell a harvested chip for a few thousand versus at most $1,000.
Tesla users also pay happily for harvested dies
Nvidia's new range of graphics cards, codenamed Pascal, will 'most likely' launch this summer.
That's according to a senior source from within the UK tech channel, who said that although rumours suggest the first high-end GP100 Pascal GPU will arrive as early as April, it will most likely launch in May or June.
The source told PCR anonymously: "You can maybe expect to see something new from Nvidia as early as late April, but most likely in the May or June period - it may even be a month earlier or later. Then something from AMD will be following afterwards.
"A high-end Pascal card will launch first, but not a flagship Pascal."
The rest of the Pascal cards are expected to arrive shortly after the initial high-end GPU.
UK distributor Entatech expects both Nvidia's Pascal and AMD's Polaris cards to launch around Q3 this year, and is excited about how they can grow the PC gaming market as a whole.
...."We're hearing Nvidia will launch their cards first and AMD's will likely be a soft launch afterwards.'' Typical AMD!

Looking like late Q2 or Q3 launch for GP104.

We know nvidia was always first to introduce new nodes or even new memorytech. both at once is even something they have perfected. always first...always first silly amd D:
Nah, the SKU in the first line has been shipped in August 2014 => not a Pascal at all.
Same with the others.
People have tendencies to mark all SKUs at Zauba as a Pascal these days
Are you being serious, or just trolling?
AMD was the first by several months to 28nm, they were also first to 40nm, and AMD was the first to use GDDR5 by a long shot.
Sweclockers @ Translate said:When the introductions are supposed to take place so far has been shrouded in mystery, but now vBulletin reveal that Nvidia has set his sights on the summer. More specifically, the company intends to announce the architecture Pascal for consumers at Computex 2016, which focused primarily will be on gaming notebooks.
The plans may be subject to change. According to the same data are ambiguities around when Pascal is ready, then Nvidia encountered problems. The goal is to launch sharply in mid-June, but the likelihood that the launch window will be moved to later described as great.
As the focus of the launch of Pascal is expected to be on laptops, it's probably not about GP100 - the next monster circuit with an assumed number of transistors on the whole 17 billion . Instead, it is probably an outright replacement for GM204 and GM206, which is used by the Geforce GTX 965M up to the GTX 980th
A good chance of a Pascal GTX 960/GTX960 TI type card before September?Saving up about maybe $200-$260 or so with maybe a August/September time frame of purchase.
Something tells me a $200-$250 Pascal "GTX1060" type card would be at least as quick as a 970.660 was faster then 570,the 760 is as fast as a 670 and the 970 clearly is faster then a 680/780.
Thoughts?Made the move to 1440p and while the 660 works well enough,a new gpu certainly is in order.
1060 should be around GTX980 performance.
I think they'll just cut price of the GTX 970 in 2015 and release a Pascal GTX 1060 type card with ~970/980 performance in early 2017. They did the same with Maxwell, and it worked.
Gtx980 is almost 2 years old crap.Why they need charge 350USD for 16nm GPU with same performance?
That gpu can be around 200mm2 big at 16nm to match GTX980.
Btw x60 GPU always cost 250USD max.
Yes and next years Ford Mondeo will perform like last years top end Ferrari.
Because they're nVidia, and that's what they do. Literally, your only hope is if AMD brings the heat in the price range, and then I guess you can still oddly enough, reward nVidia by buying whatever it is they priced to compete with AMD in that $250 range.
