Nvidia Pascal GPU not coming before Computex 2016

TSMC to blame

According to the latest report, it appears that we won't see the new Nvidia Pascal GPU before Computex 2016 show, scheduled for early-June, due to problems with TSMC's 16nm FinFET process.

According to a report coming from Sweclockers.com, the recent Taiwan earthquake had a lot more impact on the chip market and that we might not see Nvidia's new Pascal GPU architecture before Computex 2016 show in early-June.

While it is still not clear if Nvidia Pascal architecture will debut as a high-end GP100 GPU or a performance-segment GP104, it appears that Nvidia will suffer a delay due to problem with its supplier as TSMC has yet to get its 16nm FinFET manufacturing process on track.

With this in mind, AMD could get a much needed headstart as its Polaris GPU architecture is based on Samsung's 14nm manufacturing process, which seems to be on track.
