Unless history repeats itself. In the year that followed the start of the 7th console generation, GPU peformance made a major leap:
The single GPU 8800 GTX was up to 50% faster than the (only a few months older) dual GPU 7950 GX2, less noisy, cooler temperatures and no SLI problems.
Perhaps Nvidia steps up its game again. They have to compete again with a fresh console generation and even the names are similar:
8800 GTX > 7950 GX2 (2006), GTX 880 > GTX 790 (2014)

This is aincent hisotry your listing here. The launch of the console generation has very little to do with current high end GPU market. Its not like these consoles are pushing PC GPUs in terms of performance.
Look at more moden history...
GTX 590 > GTX 680
GTX 690 > GTX 780/Titan/Ti
In strict business sense, something Nvidia is very good at as of late...its very doubtful you will see more than 25% performance improvement with Maxwell over 780 Ti.

Maxwell be made on 28nm process initially, right (and all through 2014)? So you are guessing a rufly 25% increase thanks to the Maxwell architecture compared to Kepler?
When do you think we'll see 20nm GPUs?
|
Current Kepler gpus are 28nm therefore Maxwell series should be 20nm.
I also don't think architecture improvements will yield the most Maxwell improvements over Kepler. They will probably just clock them higher since they consume less power and generate less heat, due to being based on a smaller die. And add more cores of course.... one always needs MOAR COREZ :)
The GPU market is becoming mature at this point so we are most likely looking at minor power improvements moving forward, bundled with new additional features like GSync, NVIDIA Shield support...etc
