Pascal Details
- first NVIDIA GPU with 3D-memory and NVLink
- supports up to 32GB of on-board memory (2.7x the frame buffer capacity of Maxwell)
- 3x the memory bandwidth of Maxwell
- 2x the performance per watt of Maxwell
- new feature: mixed-precision computing
- 4x the mixed-precision FP16 performance of Maxwell
- up to 10x the deep learning performance of Maxwell
- estimated release in 2016

NVIDIA said:Mixed-precision computing enables Pascal architecture-based GPUs to compute at 16-bit floating point accuracy at twice the rate of 32-bit floating point accuracy.
NVIDIA said:The introduction of 3D memory will provide 3X the bandwidth and nearly 3X the frame buffer capacity of Maxwell.
NVIDIA said:The addition of NVLink to Pascal will let data move between GPUs and CPUs five to 12 times faster than they can with today’s current standard, PCI-Express.
Note: Pascall will not be 10x more powerful than Maxwell in gaming performance. It will be up to 10x faster in deep learning applications.
