Nvidia’s Volta Architecture will not be releasing to consumers anytime soon

Volta for gaming, we haven’t announced anything. And all I can say is that our pipeline is filled with some exciting new toys for the gamers, and we have some really exciting new technology to offer them in the pipeline.

But for the holiday season for the foreseeable future, I think Pascal is just unbeatable. It’s just the best thing out there. And everybody who’s looking forward to playing Call of Duty or Destiny 2, if they don’t already have one, should run out and get themselves a Pascal.

  

Volta for consumers could be facing delays for many reasons, due to delays in manufacturing, yield problems or perhaps some other technical issue. The Volta V100 is releasing into a high margin market, which means that Nvidia can afford to push through some yield issues to deliver products early, but that is not the case for consumers. 

On the other hand, Nvidia could just be delaying Volta due to the lack of competition within the GPU market, as their “Pascal is just unbeatable” line showcases exactly how they see their competitors at this time. Nvidia is not in a position where they need to release new products, so it is possible that Nvidia plans on holding Volta in reserve until a later date. 

 

Right now we would estimate that Volta will release in early-mid 2018, which means that those who want to upgrade to Volta will have a significant wait on their hands.
