Nvidia Pascal Graphics Cards Spotted, Valued At $900 & $600 – Potential GTC 2016 Demo Units
HARDWARELEAKRUMOR 2 days ago by Khalid Moammer
The inevitable release of Nvidia’s next generation 16nm Pascal graphics cards with stacked high bandwidth memory is inching closer. Only three weeks ago we discovered four different Nvidia Pascal graphics cards being shipped across Nvidia’s testing facilities. Today we’re reporting on two more graphics boards. One that’s entirely new and another that’s an updated design that may be progressing towards full functionality soon.
[UPDATED 03/09/2016 04:17 PM EST] Two additional Nvidia Pascal graphics cards were spotted, with a value per unit of $1100 and $700. Additional details and information has been added after the sixth paragraph.
We reported two weeks ago that Nvidia is rumored to demo its next generation Pascal graphics cards at GTC in April with a product launch at Computex in June. Whispers have reached us of Nvidia planning to showcase a Pascal graphics card at the show for the very first time.
A source claimed that this will take place on April 5th during Nvidia’s CEO Jen-Hsun Huang’s keynote. A pascal graphics board will allegedly be showcased on stage during the keynote. We were told that it’s not just going to be a prototype to visually demonstrate the form factor like last year, but an actual working Pascal graphics card.
Two New Nvidia Pascal Graphics Cards Spotted, Valued At $900 & $600 – Potential GTC Demo Units
Our two new Nvidia graphics boards are listed as “COMPUTER GRAPHICS CARDS” in Nvidia’s shipping description. Both carry hefty per unit values. The first is valued at $600 and the second at $900. So we’re potentially looking at high-end graphics cards here. However, it’s still important to note that these values don’t always accurately reflect actual product pricing and can be vastly different from actual product cost and selling price.
Both boards start with the same 699 serial number. We’ve pointed out in a previous article that the earliest record of a board carrying that serial number appears in December. So we know that we’re looking at Nvidia graphics boards that are new and did not exist at any point before December. This could potentially explain Pascal’s absence from CES in January if no Pascal graphics cards were ready at the time. Which led to Nvidia’s decision to showcase the Pascal Drive PX2 module with Maxwell GPUs instead.
The two new boards are as follows :
Serial Number Value Per Unit
699-1G610-0000-000 $600
699-12914-0076-100 $900
The second entry is one that we’ve seen before, all be it with a slightly different serial number. The card we had seen earlier was shipped in February and had the following serial number : 699-12914-0071-100 and carried a significantly lower value of $500, vs the new iteration which is listed at $900. This indicates that in all likelihood more components have been added to the board and it’s inching closer to full operational capacity. Hopefully in time for the upcoming GPU Technology Conference in April.
