Well maybe for me the GTX1200 series might be the ones worth waiting for.

This goes against what a member of the press with 'inside sources' is saying. They have stipulated that at GTC May 2017 nVidia will reveal their Volta architecture with "up to 48GB of HBM2". I personally don't trust or like the (major) site that published this, but it could be true.
They have revealed their volta architecture. And it is going into something named after me.
"NVIDIA introduces Xavier SoC based on Volta - for Autonomous Transportation"

When you say reveal, what do you mean exactly?

Not surprised. "We spent multiple billions of dollars on Pascal" that they always reference(which is stupid considering that's what every GPU/CPU costs) so they may as well milk it for what they can

Really, each GPU/CPU costs multiple billions of dollars?... Damn!
How do you mean exactly?... I just got an 1080 Strix :mellow:

R&D and all that. Takes years to create and you got to pay the people creating it. You think Zen was only a couple million? Lol nope. Significantly higher.

So if each GPU and CPU costs literally MULTIPLE BILLIONS of dollars, do they can that back from the costs of the like 1070 and 1080's then? If you get what I mean and getting at?...

It's not all spent at one moment. It's spent over a certain amount of years. But each year they are still selling other products, so they make money to fund the R&D. So over the course of years, they spent billions but it's broken down every quarter year so it's not that noticeable to them. After they finish and started selling the 1070/1080 they just jack up prices and sell them at higher profit margins.i wouldn't doubt they made at least 60-65% profit margin per GPU sold at launch. Probably little lower now but it's still very high.

To date since Nvidia began in 1993, their R&D expense stands at $1.86B with their total income revenue at $5.01B pretty impressive numbers.

idk where you got those numbers from. Because one look at the link, and since 2012(5yr span) there R&D is over $5billion alone
And last year alone they made $5.01B?
edit: Might have misread something?? I'm not sure, but I definitely know they are a yearly multi-bill business and have been for I think nearly 10 years now if not longer?

Yeah that's how I read it. 5 Billion in sales last year. 1.3 Billion a year give or take on R&D. Net income (profit) 400+ Million.
That's a lot of GPU's! I wonder how many top tier GPU's are sold each year? Must be in the millions..

Yes millions. Have to remember though, most of it comes from HPC(Supercomputers)/Data Centers/etc where Nvidia can easily charge 5x the prices because they have better support. IIRC think that market for Nvidia makes up 60/70% of there total revenue? Can't remember, I don't follow them to closely as I used to
