Nvidia Says New GPUs Won't Be Available For a 'Long Time' (pcgamer.com)

Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang said this week at Computex that people should not get their hopes up for any major GPU upgrades in the company's lineup in the foreseeable future. From a report: When asked when the next-gen GeForce would arrive, Jensen quipped, "It will be a long time from now. I'll invite you, and there will be lunch." That was it for discussions of the future Turing graphics cards, but that's hardly a surprise. Nvidia doesn't announce new GPUs months in advance -- it will tell us when it's ready to launch. Indications from other sources, including graphics card manufacturers, is that the Turing GPUs will arrive in late July at the earliest, with August/September for lower tier cards and custom designs.

Re:Why would they want to ship new product?

An example of where this did NOT happen was with Intel vs. the most recent generation of AMD chips. AMD came out stronger than anybody expected

Well thats bullshit. It was known ahead of time that AMD was moving to a smaller node and would thus make up the entire difference. Anybody that didnt know, doesnt know shit and should never be listened to on these subjects. Seriously. Apparently that includes you.

Additionally, Intel did move several generations ahead with their Core architecture, even getting to 14nm while the competition was still on 28nm. Intels failing was not neglecting to seize the moment, but in the very point on the table. Intels R&D failure was in trying to get their lucky ahead-of-its-time 14nm 3D tri-gates into the realm of practicality at 10nm, which is so apparently not possible that Intel has completely abandoned their 3D tri-gate effort, the very thing that put them so far ahead to begin with.

Not only is Intel at best at equality, they will be a node behind by this time next year.

And before people start saying "but Intels 14nm is better than others" .. its bullshit. Intel are the ones that invented lying about process size and their old 14nm 3D tri-gates are not as good as anyones current 14nm or 16nm processes, which is why Intel had to switch back to the traditional transistors designs everyone else is using that require fewer lithography steps.
