Pascal GPU
Pascal(From French mathematician blise Pascal) Is Maxwell successor. In this news, we learned thatVoltaWas the post-Maxwell architecture, but it seems that Pascal is the new official name. One of the main feature of the Pascal architecture is3D memoryOrStacked dramThat shoshould provide terabyte bandwidth.
Update (2014.03.26): According to techreport,VoltaIs the successor of Pascal:
Turns out Volta remains on the roadmap, but it comes after Pascal and will evidently include more extensive changes to NVIDIA's core GPU architecture.

MaxwellGPU architecture (post-Kepler) is not available yet, But NVIDIA is already talking, at GTC 2013, about post-Maxwell architecture calledVoltaThat features3D stacked dramIn order to provideTerabyte bandwidth.
According to the guys at videocardz, NVIDIAMaxwell gm107Features128 Cuda cores per smx(Streaming multiprocessor) against 192 for a Kepler-based GPU.Geforce GTX 750 TiHas 5 smx (640 Cores) WhileGTX 750 packs 512 CoresIn 4 smx.L2 cacheHas also encoded ed some changes: In Kepler the L2 cache has 256kb while on Maxwell, the cache has2 MB!
In the power consumption side, the gm107 hasTDP of 60 W. And to finish, the gm107 will offer at least the same level (if not better) of performance than the gf100, the GPU behind the old good GTX 480.
Update (2013.03.20)
NVIDIA has just launched the first graphics cards based onMaxwell, NVIDIA's new GPU architecture. thegeforce GTX 750 Ti AND geforce GTX 750 are both powered byGm107, A cut down version of an upcoming flagship (gm110 ?) GPU. The Maxwell architecture is focused on power efficiency:
Kepler smxs (streaming multiprocessors) are now replaced by MaxwellSmms.SMMPacks128 Cuda Cores(Smx= 192 cores).L2 cache sizeHas been increased from 256kb In Kepler2048kbIn Maxwell.
The new GTX 750 and GTX 750 Ti targets the oldGeforce GTX 650 TiAnd the recently launched amd radeon R7 265.
