They might, if this was anything like that... which it isn't.
If you announce a product May 6th and it's not on sale until May 31st-June XX, that's a Paper Launch. HardOCP slammed AMD over and over for this. If they don't write same articles about Pascal paper launching this week, it's a double standard and would be more proof that they are not impartial.
The 10X is the performance increase NV quoted for machine/deep learning, etc. to hype up Pascal over Maxwell. But I guess with "5 Miracles", they can tell us what 10 next generation features Pascal has.
+1000
This is brilliant. Like it or not, they are miles ahead of anything AMD does. A totally different level. This is why mainstream buyers are so much Nvidia towards.
It also shows that Pascal's launch have been meticulously prepared. Hopefully we will have a new kickass tech demo. I love them :wub:
No doubt, you have to be miles ahead in marketing when you try to sell GTX560Ti lineage successor mid-range die 680 for $500, then raise it again to $550 with 980, and then keep going with mid-range Pascal (offering sub-400GB/sec midrange card at flagship prices while having designed a 700-1000GB/sec HBM2 as the real flagship). Then use this brilliant marketing strategy to get the same people to upgrade yet again to Big Pascal in the same generation.

Hopefully NV doesn't artificially neuter 1070 too much, resulting in a 20-25% performance delta with a 1080. If they do, it will be akin to taking a 1060Ti, renaming it 1070, and jacking up the price from 660Ti's $299. I am just putting that out there now given that NV didn't even bother giving 1070 legit next gen memory. Big red flag to me right now.
