NVIDIA Announces Its Volta-based Tesla V100

Oh dear. That's like calling GeForce Titan Xp "a graphic card, but not the ordinary one, it's the one for developers, but you know, it's not the cut down Pascal, it's the full fat one, but it's not only for developers, gamers can also use it for you know, gaming, but we don't call it Pascal because that's it's core codename."

That's the level of stupidity here about how a product is being called. Gaming one is RX Vega, Vega, Vega 10, the big Vega, you name it. The "professional" ones were always called either RadeonPro/FirePro or now, Instinct Mi25. No one cares how you might want to call it or how long version of the first paragraph applies to it. It's just simple basic communications common sense that prevents any kind of confusion. Any Vega is gaming card, any Mi or Fire is workstation stuff. It's not a rocket science to use it this way you know. It's not like there's gonna be any other Mi25 with I don't know, Navi core. It'll be called different. So, why the need to overcomplicate simple things?

No, it is not. Titan Xp is a specific product with a very specific target audience.

That does not matter. Again, we are talking about datacenters which is why Vega is relevant (since the only existing Vega-based product is in that market). The only product we actually have data on. If you assume that we are talking about the RX-version you have not read the article.
If someone does talk about it, it is not relevant to either the news, the product or the competition.

And Instinct is most definitely no workstation cards.

Then, how hard is it to address it simply as "Mi25" eh? Very apparently... All you need is 4 characters and you lot prefers to go full retard about it. Jesus...

Of course they are liking it, this is a card which looks to have of the order of 200-300% improvement over the previous gen on many relevant (realistic) compute workloads!
