It looks like the GTX 980 Ti release date has been set for April 2015 by Nvidia if the reports are to be believed.

Cyberland has reported that the GTX 980 Ti release has been allegedly set to April 2015 by Nvidia following reports and rumors that the upcoming flagship video has been delayed to 2016.

The report states that Nvidia would allegedly release the GTX 980 Ti this April 2015 but it would only be the MSI, Asus, EVGA and their own reference cards would be released due to the production problems that plague the GTX 980 Ti.

It should be noted though that the GTX 980 and 970 8GB variants have no release date as of the moment.  

Meanwhile, The CEO of Nvidia, Jen-Hsun Huang has announced a new addition to its Tegra chip family, the Tegra X1 during CES 2015.

According to Jen-Hsun Huang, The Tegra X1 processor utilizes its most advanced PC architecture for graphics processing units, called Maxwell, that packs in a 256-core GPU on top of a 8-core central processing unit that, together, pumps out one whole teraflop of computational power.

According to Jen-Hsun Huang, the result is a "superchip" for smartphones that is both powerful and efficient enough to bring high level graphics to its handheld devices. TheTegra  X1 follows Nvidia's process of transitioning PC tech to mobile like what they did last year by bringing Kepler to mobile devices such as Nvidia's Shield gaming handheld with the Tegra K1 chip.

As quoted by CNET, Huang said that:

"This little tiny thing here is a mobile super chip. We're able to run any application that relies on the architecture of Maxwell,"
