The Pascal architecture has been with us for a very short time but Nvidia is already thinking about its successor that would arrive during the second quarter of 2017 to offer a new boost in performance and especially in energy efficiency. Nvidia Volta will be announced during the month of May and will come with the HBM2 memory.

Nvidia Volta for 2017 with HBM2 and manufactured in 16nm FinFET

With this information, it seems to be true that Pascal will not release the HBM2 memory as rumored, this honor will be held by AMD Vega and Nvidia Volta who will arrive next year to face a duel. With this Pascal will be nothing more than a transition between Maxwell and Volta, the latter being the architecture that will really exploit TSMC's 16nm FinFET both in terms of performance and energy efficiency.

Nvidia Volta will arrive just a year after Pascal to repeat Maxwell's feat, greatly increase energy efficiency while maintaining the manufacturing node and therefore allow the design of chips with much higher performance and they will be the ones that are really attractive to owners from a high-end Maxwell card.

Volta will use HBM2 memory and be measured face-to-face with Vega, AMD's high-performance architecture that will come to succeed Fiji and will give a further boost to Polaris' energy efficiency.
