Despues de tanto rollo por la nueva serie 800 de Nvidia, al parecer decidieron irse drasticamente por la serie 900, asi que para comienzos o mitad del 2015 Nvidia ya planea liberar la nueva GTX 990 y no como se esperaba la GTX 880. Esta vez van a ir por la tecnologia de 16 nanometros lo cual hara mas rapida y menos consumo de energia respecto a la serie 700.
Now that we've passed into the second half of 2014, we should expect some new GPUs in the coming months. But what is more exciting, is what is coming in the first half of 2015 according to a new report from SemiAccurate.
We should expect NVIDIA to skip the 20nm process completely, moving directly from 28nm into 16nm. This is just a rumor right now, but if it ends up happening, 2015 is going to be one of the most exciting years for GPUs in a very long time. This would see NVIDIA release the GeForce GTX 990 under the Maxwell architecture, from the GM204B core.
If NVIDIA does skip the 20nm process, we should see some seriously fast GPUs appearing, with much lower than expected power consumption. The core count should also be lower when compared to the GeForce GTX 700 series, as Maxwell is a much more efficient architecture compared to Kepler. So before we have the GTX 800 series, we're already foaming at the mouth about the GTX 900 series. It won't stop there, as we should see NVIDIA unveil the GeForce 1000 series sometime in the next 18-24 months, too.
Cheers.
