https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/10series/titan-xp/ is Nvidia trying to troll us, or have I missed something?

It seems not. It's real. Pretty hilarious if you asked me, but April Fools was 5 days ago so it's real.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

They realised that the Titan X (Pascal) (the one released in 2016 - Jesus, get your bloody naming schemes together nvidia) was basically made obsolete by the 1080ti so they decided to launch a new Titan because there always has to be a Titan that's better than everything else apparently.

I also believe that as new chips came out for Pascal since release, the original X-16 used the GP-102-400-A1 whereas the Xp uses the full GP-102. This could be explained by the fact that Nvidia has an excess of GP-102 chips (otherwise used for the Quadros which have moved to the GP-101 and GP-100).
