NVIDIA AIBs to get first Turing GPUs in August?

Take it with a grain of salt but WCCF Tech claims they heard from an industry source that NVIDIA will be shipping Turing GPUs to its add-in board partners sometime in early August. There's still a lot of uncertainty though, the site says the cards may end up with GeForce GTX 1180 naming but that hasn't been confirmed yet. The actual launch date remain a mystery too, it could be September but it may also slip to late November or even December.

Either way, WCCF Tech says initial shipments will be very low. Word on the street is that NVIDIA's partners will each get only about 150-300 GPUs:

Another interesting thing our source shared with us was that the volume of the initial seeding will be very very limited. In fact, they mentioned that initial shipment will be limited to few hundred chips (on the lower side) and the number could be as low as 150-300 GPUs per AIB initially. Many of these will be consumed for development purposes by the AIB. This isn’t particularly surprising since supply is usually pretty bad at most launches and we see retailers like Amazon pumping up the MSRP to cater to the huge demand. In other words, if you manage to snag a GeForce GTX 1180 FE (or whatever NV ends up calling it) at MSRP, consider yourself very lucky.

Basically, more questions than answers.
