Associate have already reported that NVIDIA graphics solutions Maxwell second generation appear towards the end of this year, and probably even in the beginning of 2015. They will be released on 20-nm technology. Actually, this release will allow more efficient high end videocard without tricks such as creating expensive tandem in the spirit of GeForce GTX Titan Z.
Colleagues only add that produced 20-nm technology graphics solutions Maxwell second generation also provide full support for DirectX 12, including those sold at the hardware level functions. The first representatives of this generation GPU will come closer to the end of this year.
The competing 20-nm AMD graphics processors with support for DirectX 12, will appear in early 2015. The new NVIDIA card will be faster GeForce GTX Titan Black more than half, if we consider the performance of floating-point single precision.
The first representatives of 20-nanometer graphics solutions Pirate Islands will be released by AMD at the beginning of the second half. At least, Treasure Island (Radeon R9 370X) 1536 stream processors and 256-bit bus can appear as early as August, if TSMC will not have problems with the development of its release on 20-nm technology.
By November high end solution can appear : Bermuda (Radeon R9 390X) with 4224 stream processors and 512-bit bus, and a little more affordable product called Fiji (Radeon R9 380X) with 3072 stream processors and 384-bit bus will only appear in the first quarter of 2015 year. All these GPU will support DirectX 12 at the hardware level, and released on 20-nm technology.
