This is essentially just 2 gk110 dies on one PCB and the heat generated will throttle the cards too which makes me less hyped.

I guess the transition to the 20nm process node is slow.


20nm Maxwell cards are supposed to come later this year right, followed by 20nm Pirate Islands cards from AMD in early 2015?

Honest to god I don't think 20nm will be ready for mass production until 2014 of Q3 so yeah I'm expecting nvidia to release their maxwell lines of gpu in late 2014 but as for amd it could either be late 2014 or early 2015. By then intel will have launched the beast known as broadwell which is 14nm.

I wish intel would have continued the larrabee project so then we could go back to software rendering. It would have being very interesting to see how well x86 SIMD extensions held up against dedicated gpus with fixed function pipelines.
