Nvidia Plans GTX 2080 Ti, 2080 & 2070 Refresh With GDDR5X & Faster Clocks In 2017

The new GeForce GTX 20 series would the 14nm FinFET refresh of the Pascal architecture, led by the GeForce GTX 2080 Ti which would use the refreshed GP102 core with 3384 CUDA cores, and GDDR5X on a 384-bit memory bus. Under that, we'll find the GTX 2080 which would replace the current GTX 1080, and then the GTX 2070 that could be the new price/performance champion. NVIDIA could use the faster GDDR5X standard on the GeForce GTX 2070, with the faster VRAM exclusive to the current-gen GTX 1080 and Titan X. The use of GDDR5X on the more mid-range GeForce GTX 2070 could be a big win for the price/performance market once again.

Whispers floating around the tech-sphere allege that NVIDIA is in fact launching its next generation Volta GPUs this year on 12nm FinFET. This hot rumor, which Fox Business has picked up, claims that NVIDIA’s next generation family of GPUs will succeed Pascal this year in the GPGPU supercomputing, machine learning and artificial intelligence spaces. Furthermore, Volta is said to be built using a custom, cutting edge, 12nm FinFET manufacturing process at TSMC.
We reported in as early as September 2015 that NVIDIA’s Volta will indeed arrive to market in 2017. Volta GPUs in conjunction with IBM POWER PC server CPUs are expected to power several of the world’s leading-edge supercomputers this year. It’s important to note that it’s not yet clear when exactly Volta will arrive on the GeForce gaming side. However, according to NVIDIA’s official word we’ll see Volta in GeForce gaming graphics cards some time a year later in 2018.
