Nvidia Updates Graphics Roadmap: Volta Graphics Architecture Introduced.

Quote from Xbitlabs

Nvidia Corp. on Tuesday introduced its future-generation Volta graphics architecture that is due in 2016 – 2017 timeframe. Among other advantages and innovations that Volta will have, it will support a technology capable of solving the main GPU problem ever: insufficient memory bandwidth. With Volta, Nvidia plans to install ultra high-speed stacked memory chips right onto the substrate with graphics processor.

We've a few years to wait, apparently Nvidia is not alone working on this kind of setup, as AMD is also working on a similar solution. Cost seems to be one of the biggest issues at the moment though for both camps.
It would provide around 1TB/s of bandwidth

They also said they are working on a lower gk110 gpu like 2 smx removed and will sell for cheaper then titan.

so Volta is the next new architecture from the ground up?...nothing else major until then?

You beat me to that one

Not sure on that, I think Maxwell is claimed to be bringing a large jump in performance, but not sure on the architecture they'll use for it. I'm sure I heard somewhere that Maxwell will feature an ARM chip embedded on the card also. I may have imagined that though

Just found this on VCCTech about Maxwell

NVIDIA 20nm Maxwell GPUs would feature more than double the performance per watt over current generation Kepler architecture. Maxwell GPUs would also be integrated with the Nvidia’s project Denver which fuses general purpose ARM cores alongside the GPU core. Xbitlabs recently got many details on Project Denver, the Denver is basically an custom built ARMv8 64-Bit Processor which would be highly beneficial for computing purposes such as workstation and server usage.
The roadmap still mentions that the Maxwell GPUs would be able to churn out 14-16 GFlops with the much more power efficient designs compared to Kepler 28nm.

Based on yesterday's roadmap it seems the Denver ARM chip is going to be pushed beyond Maxwell to Volta. At least that was my interpretation.

I think they're going to stick with 28nm for Maxwell too.
