GK-104 is a cheap chip to produce and it has good yields. Therefore, NVIDIA is making a killing on all of these cards, as are their board partners. Since that is the case, why wouldn't they release the cheaper to produce relatively fast GPU that makes them a crapton of money? Then, once they have proper volumes and yields on the bigger/hotter chip, release that. To me, it seems that NVIDIA is in no rush to release their fastest, hottest, obviously lower yielding chip. If anything, they can continue to make those chips in preparation for thousands of TESLA and Quadro orders when they're announced. NVIDIA has a pretty good strategy if you ask me and they're executing it fairly well.
