Tom's Hardware has published a report based on several industry sources (speaking anonymously of course) that goes a bit beyond the speculation we've been shackled to until now. Core specs like clock speeds and CUDA Core count are still limited to speculation (which is partially why I choose to believe this particular report), but the outlet has listed a realistic timeline for the new Turing-based GPUs from both Nvidia and its board partners.
NVIDIA

A close-up of the blower-style fan of Nvidia's Founders Edition graphics cards



First, the report states that Nvidia will sample its partners like ASUS, Gigabyte and EVGA with memory and Turing-based GPUs on or before June 15th, and that Nvidia will release its Founders Edition version of the GTX 1180 (and likely 1170) in July.
 
 
 
That timeline gives Nvidia the opportunity to tease the next-gen cards at Computex and E3, and host a press event or two following those conferences with deeper dives into the architecture, specs and any new software features and possibly let reviewers walk away with the cards as they did in Austin for the GTX 1080 launch.
Tom's Hardware also claims that Nvidia's GPU partners will release their custom variants in August or September, and laptop versions of the GPU will arrive later in 2018. That delay isn't merely to give the Founders Edition breathing room for sales, but to adhere to a lengthy validation process which includes design submissions and noise tests among a host of other requirements. Tom's has those steps listed in detail.

July has been my speculation.

Hope so...so i can stepup the 1080 hybrid im getting today for an 1180 hybrid :)

You're probably going to miss the Step Up window. The article says AIB won't have them for sale until August at the earliest. Unless EVGA has a special deal with nVidia to have them early and EVGA adds them to the Step Up soon as they launch. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

So probable August/September availability for AIB cards (with a reasonable cooling solution, unlike FEs). I use "availability" loosely since most stock will be garbled up by miners.

Mmmm.... Lunch

One reference EVGA 1180 Hydro Copper with nice backplate. 
EVGA and NVIDIA dominations are main culprits why I'm not interested for Radeon price and specifications.
 
 

Always stronger if you can afford, anyway they will not stay long time in that form with reference cooler.
GPU is most important part, you can good high end keep CPU 5-6 years. GPU is outdated after 3.
 
 
For me I will probably look 1180 or GTX1080Ti discounts.

I'm asking if you think the next series will be based on the 11XX or 20XX naming scheme?

An Nvidia rep supposedly stated 11xx at an event, and said he didnt know where 20xx came from, so theres that. I believe Linus or Jayztwocents posted that after speaking to a rep.

GTX 1170 and 1180 for sale on eBay. Your choice of either card for the low price of $3,999.00

I suspect (my own rumor) that there will be an announcement in June with Founder's Edition available in June/July and customer cards 60 days later.

I'm hoping for the rumor that nVidia will announce the next series during GTC Taiwan at the end of May with a July release date.

My rumor is that EVGA will release the 1180 hybrid before my stepup is over in lik 75 days. lol
 

Sorry not happening .... EVGA only offers the standard level cards for Step-Up
 
Step-Up Inventory - What can I Step-Up to?

EVGA maintains a list of current graphics cards as well as motherboards available to Step-Up to. Products listed are mostly stock (not factory overclocked, or water cooled) due to stock limitations.
