NVIDIA Rumored To Release Pascal Refresh With GDDR5X and Faster Clocks – Volta To Feature HBM2 and GDDR6 Support, 16 GB Standard Capacity NVIDIA Pascal Refresh To Get Faster Clocks, GDDR5X – GTX 1060 and GTX 1070 Successors in 2017
The rumor is that NVIDIA plans to offer more chips based on the
GP102 architecture. They already have a partially enabled model known as Titan X available to consumers but they would try to offer more variants in the stack. We are looking at cheaper variant of the Titan X (Pascal) and the GTX 1080 which will be faster in several ways.
This sounds like a repetition of what NVIDIA did with their GeForce 700 series which was based on refreshed Kepler cores. The GP102 core is relatively new and hence doesn’t need to be updated much. GP104 on the other hand was one of the first consumer chips and that could be updated with the refined 16nm process.
We can see the new chips clocking close to 2 GHz and maintaining those speeds under maximum load. Furthermore, GDDR5X has been a main issue for NVIDIA. Micron is under pressure to offer better yields of GDDR5X chips and that has gotten better over the while.
NVIDIA Volta Architecture Introduction at GTC 2017 – New NVIDIA Roadmap Unveiling Expected
Moving on from Pascal, we have Volta. Volta is the last GPU of NVIDIA’s current roadmap and is said to be introduced at GTC 2017. This marks a year after the introduction of Pascal to the world. NVIDIA’s CEO, Jen-Hsun Huang will take the stage and introduce the latest Volta GPU architecture to the world. The chip will be aimed at HPC first, just like its Pascal based predecessor and would feature faster and higher capacity HBM2.
NVIDIA Volta For Consumers Could Launch in 2018 – Rumored To Support Micron/Samsung GDDR6 Memory, 16 GB Standard Capacity
currently, GDDR5X offers 10 GB/s bandwidth but
GDDR6 is expected to go beyond that, up to 16 GB/s.

That's why the whole spiel with the architecture and the delay
