Nvidia has nothing new coming this year so rule them out. Vega is due sometime this summer hopefully so that is something to look forward to.

Unlikely to be brought forward unless Vega is a smash hit

scratch that thought, lack of hbm2 for volta gpus will likely push it to early next year sk hynix needs to pick up and sort out gddr6 up in this

GDDR6 would be inferior to HBM anyway. Nvidia need to stop using the budget solution. If everyone switches to HBM it will be cheaper and supply will improve. But no the biggest companies hold on to the cheapest methods for as long as possible (for example not soldering a CPU or using GDDR5 still) yet the underdog manages to use the best solutions? (solder on CPUs and HBM gpus), profit maximising to the extent that Intel and Nvidia do it disgusts me.
