The shorthand record of the current quarterly reporting conference of NVIDIA contained a lot of references to the carriers of the Volta architecture, but they all belonged to the computational accelerators that the company began to bulk ship to software developers, and only one analyst question about the timing of the appearance of this generation of gaming products caused the NVIDIA head to be traditionally avoided Direct answer.
The founder of the company began by recalling the absence of official announcements about the timing of the announcement of gaming solutions with the architecture of Volta. He only agreed to explain that NVIDIA's plans are "interesting toys for gamers", and quite a few "very exciting technologies." However, he immediately cooled the ardor of the regulars behind the video cards with his statement that the New Year holidays did not have to wait for changes in the balance of power in the market for game graphics cards, and "the king of the mountain" would still be ... Pascal! Yes, it is Pascal in the comments of the head of NVIDIA that is considered to be an "unbeatable proposal", for which all who want to play Call of Duty or Destiny 2 should "run into the store" (verbatim quote).
Of course, such comments should be interpreted in a unique way - there are no game versions of Volta expected this year. Moreover, in his other statements, the head of NVIDIA explained how costly and difficult the production is to remain Volta, while it is used only in accelerators of calculations.
