So, it seems like Ampere will actually be the HTC variant and Turing the gaming / mining one, the opposite of what I expected. It actually makes me slighly worried Turing could be a Pascal refresh instead of a mainstream Volta, which was more likely if the gaming variant was called Ampere since it's more correlated with Volta.
Even if Nvidia doesn't pull an AMD with a rebrand, though, this is still bound to be the most disgusting year to build a gaming PC I can ever remember, given the shortages, the price hikes on both GPU and RAM, and AMD basically non existing on the GPU side. Not to mention possibly no full-scale replacement of Intel's 14 nm offerings until well into the next year, by the looks of it.
Let's just hope next year things do look better. It certainly seems more promissing than 2018.
