The graphics card rumour mill has been spinning a lot recently, a few days ago we have reported that NVIDIA will release a next graphics card in less than two months. According to a report from Reuters, the company might release a crypto-mining chip as well.



It looks like that the codename Turing comes from the British scientist Alan Turing, one of the scientist that broke the Nazi "Enigma" cryptography. NVIDIA Turing could be manufactured at a low cost against GeForce branded products. Furthermore NVIDIA might produce the chip in highh scales, in order to keep the price down and save the PC gaming market. This chip might have the same impact of ASIC systems and could make the gaming graphics cards less viable.

At the moment there isn't any further information about this chip. It's still unclear on which GPU architecture Turing will be based on. NVIDIA is expected to launch its entire family of GeForce GTX 2000-series in a couple of months.
