There have been several speculations that NVIDIA is about to release the very first Pascal architecture GPU this coming April. The rumored release of this innovative GPU may be essential for NVIDIA, and it may serve as another edge for the California-based tech company.
NVIDIA's rival AMD is also planning to release their Polaris architecture GPU, also the first in the market, this year. NVIDIA's innovation is said to be tagged as "TITAN-grade" products, which means a Pascal-equivalent substitute for the present version of TITAN offerings, according to Kotaku.
The Pascal architecture GPU's rumored specs includes a 32GB VRAM HBM2, instead of the usual GDDR5X.
With all the rumors circulating in the tech industry and to somewhat compete with NVIDIA, AMD announced that its Radeon R9 Nano's price was lowered down to $849. AMD opted to cut the price of Radeon to attract more people in purchasing their version of GPU.
Ecumenical News reported that NVIDIA will surely put AMD one step backwards.
Meanwhile, there are several conference, events and other tech forums which GPUs are being talked about, especially the latest version; at the moment, there are already comparisons which GPU design will offer better performance, will it be the Pascal lines or the Polaris lines?
Pascal GPU release report came right after AMD announces the rollback on their Radeon R9 Nano unit. NVIDIA is hosting a GPU Technology Conference this coming April 2016, which may have been the reason why speculations and rumors about the release of GPU Pascal architecture came from.
Techfrag reported that a shipping manifest was found in India, Zauba, which showed Pascal units are faster than those already in the market like GTX 980 Ti and TITAN X. The Pascal architecture will be used by top of the line products powered by GP100. GPU Pascal architecture is the flagship of GPUs that are based on 16nm FinFET process, and said to be the next generation High Bandwidth Memory or HBM2.
