We didn’t see the NVIDIA Pascal GP100 at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2016), so now the question is whether or not we are going to see it at GDC 2016 taking place at the Moscone Center in San Francisco on March 16-18, 2016. According to several reports, NVIDIA does plan on releasing the NVIDIA Pascal GP100 this year, but it has not been seen in action. Here is an official statement made by WCCFTech.com:
“NVIDIA announced that this 250W automotive compute box is powered by two Terga chips and two Pascal GPUs. Yet the Drive PX2 board NVIDIA’s CEO Jen-Hsun Huang held on stage carried two Maxwell based GTX 980 MXM modules instead.”
NVIDIA already announced its activities for GDC 2016, and the NVIDIA Pascal isn’t on the list, so maybe NVIDIA will surprise the public at GDC. Then again, NVIDIA’s own GPU Technology Conference held a few weeks later may be another opportunity for the visual computing giant to spring its Pascal reveal.
