Cuda 9 is comin !!

https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit/whatsnew

Volta
This beastly GPU—both in size and capabilities—boasts a whopping 21 billion transistors and 5,120 CUDA cores humming along at 1,455MHz boost clock speeds, all built using a 12-nanometer manufacturing process more advanced than that of Nvidia’s current GPUs. By comparison, today’s Pascal GPU flagship, the 14nm Tesla P100, offers 3,840 CUDA cores and 15 billion transistors. The GeForce GTX 1060 has a quarter as many CUDA cores as the Tesla V100, at 1,280.
The Tesla V100 utilizes 16GB of ultra-fast, 4096-bit high-bandwidth memory to process data quickly.


the real question is whether this chipset will benefit the gamer / miner gpu market ...

its hi-capacity processing is one thing - highly beneficial for hpc ... but if it is not created to perform in a 'gamer' style vga card - its almost useless to the mining community unless developers become acutely aware of how to process with it - and mine with it ...

will be interesting to get a few when they come out and develop / use it ...
