It appears that Nvidia is working on a couple of new GPUs including a mystery GPU that has been spotted in a shipping manifest and listed as an "Nvidia JM601 Graphics Processor."

The chip in question, spotted by Wccftech.com at Zauba.com and listed as the JM601, has been shipped on October 14th and is rather strange as it does not line up with any previously seen GPU codenames.

The chip also has a rather high listed price set at 73,917 INR, which converts to about US $1136. This is significantly higher than any chip so far as the GM200 prototype was listed at around 30,000 INR.

Unfortunately, there are still no information on what the JM601 actually is. It could be possible that Nvidia has started to change codenames of their prototype GPUs or it is simply a new codename for some GPU that we have not heard about before.

The spotted JM601 GPU shipping date lines up with the launch of Nvidia Pascal, as these prototype usually show up a few months before the release date so this might be the flagship GPU made on 16nm FinFET manufacturing process.

In any case, it will be quite interesting to see if Nvidia is simply now hiding their official codenames in shipping manifests or is this the new flagship GPU.
