Very Powerful Nvidia Pascal Flagship 'GTX 1080' To Be Demoed Next Month At GTC 2022 - Spotted On Zauba For The First Time

For the starting time time ever, nosotros have spotted what is without argument the jewel in the next generation lineup that Nvidia will be presenting at GTC this April. The insurance value listed on the shipping manifest of the GPU indicates that this is the full uncut die (whether GP104 or GP100 remains unclear at this point). What we tin say for sure is that we are looking at either the GTX 1080 or the GTX 1080 Ti (or equivalent) graphics card and that it is going to be unveiled at the upcoming Nvidia GPU Technology Briefing Keynote in April.

High-end 16nm Pascal flagship 'GTX 1080' ready for demo at GTC 2022

Information technology goes without saying that the naming scheme we are using at this point is zero more than a place holder . The actual flagship graphics card can be chosen anything at all. A recent rumor did propose that the graphics cards volition be named Nvidia Geforce X80 and Geforce X80 Ti respectively, only that remains to exist seen. What we do know nonetheless is that all GPUs that are going to be demoed at the GTC 2022 result happening in April, are being shipped with the code proper noun of "699" which makes information technology rather easy for us to locate and spot Pascal flagships on the shipping database: Zauba.

Here is where it gets interesting though. Nosotros have seen Pascal variants ready to be shown at the GTC event many times before. But none of them was what could qualify equally the flagship. The unproblematic reason for that was the given value of the chip (on the shipping manifest) was non loftier enough. Given below are the variants nosotros had previously seen on Zauba. Keep in mind that the INR value per unit given is the insurance value of the shipment and Not indicative of the real MSRP. Information technology does withal, tell us how much a fleck is valued at – and therefore its relative ranking in the lineup.

"699" Demo GPU "1G411", Insurance Value: 38,119 INR
"699" Demo GPU "2H403" Insurance Value: 40,848 INR
"699" Demo GPU "1H400" Insurance Value: 44,902 INR
"699" Demo GPU "12914" Insurance Value: 78,000 INR

These are a total of iv variants that have been spotted on Zauba so far and from the looks of it, GPUs "1G411", "2H403" and "1H400" are derivatives of the same die. GPU "12914" on the other manus, looks like a completely different dice (from the pricing departure) and could possibly be the runner up to the Pascal flagship ready to be unveiled in the next few weeks at GTC. This particular variant of the die peaks out at about 78,000 INR, which is roughly equal to 1170 USD (once over again, Non indicative of the MSRP). Now accept a look at the post-obit entry:

"699" Demo GPU "5G418" Boilerplate Insurance Value: 220,000 INR

Right of the bat, you lot tin tell that this particular chip, the 'GTX 1080', is in a league of its own. The insurance value of the graphic card indicates that this is the uncut Pascal die. What we cannot say for sure is whether it is the GP104 or the GP100. It is a scrap too early on in the game for the GP100 to exist revealed merely the insurance value of the chip is pretty damn loftier. It is more likely all the same, that we are looking at the full fledged GP104 Pascal fleck. Whatever the case peradventure, if the insurance value is anything to go by, we are looking at an absolute monster in terms of performance with the Geforce GTX 1080 GPU. And the best function is, the 699 lawmaking name ways we are going to meet this item graphics card at the 699 Keynote past Jen Hsun Huang at GTC 2022 in a few weeks time.

Although there have been multiple leaks about the Geforce GTX 1080 in the last few weeks, this close to the reveal, its pointless to speculate further regarding the specifications of Nvidia's upcoming GPU. Here is what we do know for sure: Nvidia's Pascal architecture will exist manufactured on the 16nm FinFET process (which inherently brings a 2x Perf/Watt increment). It volition focus on increasing the gimped FP64 operation (that Maxwell suffered from) and then the company tin target its professional lineups better and is expected to exceed the last generation of graphic cards. Divided into the GP104 and GP100 GPUs, the GP104 GPU will succeed the GM204 bit (GTX 980) and is expected to country first, while the GP100 GPU will be the real flagship of 1st Generation Pascal, will succeed the GM200 dice and land a few months later.
