NVIDIA Quietly Launches Titan Xp GPU with 3840 Shader Cores

The rate at which NVIDIA releases new GPUs is getting too fast for our wallets to handle.

Not to be outdone by Digital Foundry's breakdown of Xbox Scorpio's hardware, NVIDIA has announced yet another specifications bump to their line of outstanding GPUs. The Titan Xp has stolen the performance crown from its sibling, the GTX 1080Ti, and only costs $1349! That is considerably more than the 1080 Ti's $699 price tag. 

The Titan Xp will feature a full-fat GP102 with 7% more CUDA Cores than the GTX 1080Ti and the 2016 Titan X. The 3840 CUDA slash shader processor cores are packaged alongside 12GB GDDR5X of memory at a full 384bit memory bus using the same 250 Watts thermal envelope. At a 11.4 Ghz effective data-rate it offers 548 GB/s memory bandwidth and the Titan Xp will offer a theoretical 12 teraflops of performance. Please take a look at this table for a more in depth comparison of Titan Xp to its predecessors.

There is a new best NVIDIA GPU in town, and it costs a ton of money. I am still itching to pull the trigger on a 1080 Ti to upgrade my current PC. Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
