16nm GM200 Titan II being tested..

wow - this is some fantastic work by the green team. Looking forward to see how these actually perform against existing cards. Looking at how successful the 9xx series were, these can only be better!
 
We can only dream of such a card.

I thought it was 2016, with 20nm late 2014/Q1 2015

On the whole GPU war at the moment, I'm convinced AMD have nothing to counter punch Nvidia yet. They need to bring info to the table quick regarding something to trump the 970/980 cards, but I think we all know Nvidia more than likely already have something waiting to trump whatever that might be.

I really do hope AMD pull something out of the hat quickly, it's great having such fierce competition. It's win win for us all.
 
I tend to take wccftech with a pinch of salt and I like the site, as at times they do get things right and it gives us something to chat about. I would be very, very surprised if it is anything other than 28nm but expect something in the way of a big GPU when AMD release their next set of cards.
 
Each camp roughly knows what the other is doing, now and again you get something like 9700 or 8800 which really shake things up more so than with the 980/970 which either are early or amd late, as each seam to work on the same problems/features.

We need AMD working on bigger chips to combat nvidia's so called full fat maxwell monster coming out.

Everything I have read indicates to a 16NM chip ? But until Nvidia officially announce something it's all speculation really.

Everything you've read has been nonsense speculation by out of touch people then.

GM200 taped out a long time ago. AMD's fiji will be 28nm as well.
 
Isn't this the same card that was identified before the maxwell launch within the shipping data? I.e., 28nm Titan 2 / 980Ti. Like others have commented 16nm is supposed to be delayed because of demand from apple.

Well, the consumer samples taped out a long time back, and they are sure as hell not on 16nm FinFET

Sure as hell are not 16nm based on, your hopes and dreams? 16nm products are being taped out now and have been for some time. Taped out to market takes closer to a year than 6 months on 20-16nm. It also presumes that the first tape out was good, remember the 480gtx, I forget how many respins it had because the 580gtx was also effectively a respin.

Getting a piece of silicon back is one, not indicative that it is working, good enough nor what process it is on and Two, doesn't indicate a shipping date for final products. That manifest could be the latest of many for the gm104, ie that core could have been shipping for 6 months to Nvidia while that was the very first one to have a GM200 on it and again as above that doesn't mean it's a viable product, it just means it is what it is.

20nm chips were being taped out as far back as 18 months ago.

Taping out happens LONG before launch and frequently before a new process is actually in volume production.
