Some people seem to think that we’ll be seeing Nvidia’s upcoming lineup sooner based on news like this. Thanks to NoNRG for the link.

Xilinx, a leading maker of programmable gate arrays as well as special-purpose system-on-chip solutions, this week said that it had made the first customer shipment of its Zynq UltraScale+ processing solution. The chip is made using Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.’s second-generation 16nm FinFET process technology (CLN16FF+) with increased performance and lowered power consumption.

I've used Zynq devices before...pretty nifty. It isn't for ma n' pa developers..but if you got an engineering team behind you, it is quite an amazing device.

The sooner Pascal gets here the better. After the monumental disappointment of Fury, we need something truly new to get to 4K.
