Well, some journalists have said that board partners still haven't been given details about the new chips, so it's not too surprising. But we also have to remember that this is a sector where "not coming soon" or "it's a long time", doesn't have to mean the same as in the real world. Plus its a PR meeting, with all it means.

I can still see Nvidia launching the new cards (only in Founders Edition versions) in September, with board partners having to wait until the end of the year to launch their custom products.

To me September isn't that long. So do you really think it could be these cards that Jensen Huang refers to when he says "it's a long time from now".

I am afraid September will bring us refresh cards who are 8% faster than 1080Ti, while Huang in his quoted statement refers to a proper architectural and significant increase like one year from now.

Well, first of all, of course Huang had to say that the cards were still a long time away! They still have 10xx cards to sell, now that the mining craze is taking a break. And there's also the fact that "it's a long time" is a very subjective statement. Now that E3 is coming, I'm sure you've noticed how some people are so excited about it that even having to wait 1 or 2 days is too far away for them.

That's why I said that a September (or thereabout) release could be possible.

Also, with a new architecture, 12nm and GDDR6, we could still see a nice jump in performance.
