Lenovo Unveils Geforce GTX 1100 Series

Nvidia’s current architecture Pascal has become a real long-haul, where no replacement has been launched despite the release of the Geforce GTX 1080 in May 2016. Recently, however, rumors and prototype images have abounded on the brand new architecture Turing, which is expected to replace Pascal later this year.

Whether it would be a 1100 series or 2000 series has been unclear, but now a representative of Lenovo brings some clarity to the question. It is the Youtube profile Brainbean who during E3 took a closer look at ready-made gaming computers in the Legion Cube series from Lenovo.

A company representative then revealed that the computers will be available for purchase with the 1100 series graphics card from Nvidia, up to the Gefoce GTX 1180. Nvidia’s next generation graphics card is expected to be based on the Turing architecture, which will be equipped with the latest GDDR6 memory and 384 bit memory bus for some models.

Otherwise, the details are scarce around Turing, where neither clock frequencies, number of CUDA cores nor architectural details have been found out to any great extent. In terms of manufacturing technology, TSMC’s 12-nanometer technology is said to be on the menu, which is a refined variant of the previous 16 nanometers used in today’s Pascal.

No exact date is mentioned in the clip, but the representative says that the computers will be sold with graphics cards from the 1100 series sometime during the autumn, which also agrees well with previous rumors.
