Following the surprise TITAN X Pascal launch slated for 2nd August, it looks like NVIDIA product development cycle is running on steroids, with reports emerging of the company accelerating its next-generation "Volta" architecture debut to May 2017, along the sidelines of next year's GTC. The architecture was originally scheduled to make its debut in 2018.

Much like "Pascal," the "Volta" architecture could first debut with HPC products, before moving on to the consumer graphics segment. NVIDIA could also retain the 16 nm FinFET+ process at TSMC for Volta. Stacked on-package memory such as HBM2 could be more readily available by 2017, and could hit sizable volumes towards the end of the year, making it ripe for implementation in high-volume consumer products.

pascal titan was announced very early, for what ?
if volta is released next year, pascal would have a short lifespan...

Remember Titan's are usually for people who want bleeding edge graphics tech all the time. Life span be damned.

If they do release Volta next May...I'm definitely going to be picking one up in my next system build

Pascal may have a short life span depending on it's relative DX12/Vulkan performance to AMD counterparts.

Vulkan (read Doom) numbers of RX480 are very impressive and DX12 adoption may give this graphics card a new life comparing it's current situation.
