NVIDIA shows signs ... [2008 - 2017]

Pretty cool

Nvidia also announced that it's upgrading its own supercomputer, the SaturnV, with 660 Nvidia DGX-1 nodes (more detail on the nodes here), spread over five rows. Each node houses eight Tesla V100s for a total of 5,280 GPUs. That powers up to 660 PetaFLOPS of FP16 performance (nearly an ExaFLOP) and a peak of 40 PetaFLOPS of FP64. The company plans to use SaturnV for its own autonomous vehicle development programs.

1.56b gaming division insane at the end of Pascal's lifetime.

Unfortunately this isn't the end of Pascal's lifetime.
It looks like there will be at least one maybe even 2 fiscal Qtrs before we see Volta or (Ampere if the rumors are correct)

Indeed. There's no disputing that pascal is a great chip, but its performance longevity is most frustrating for the enthusiast who desires progression in technology.

If AMD had been as ready to take up competition with NV with vega as they were with intel with zen, then it would have been a different matter. But, alas!

Think of the companies who are also after a Tesla "GV102", pretty popular tier card (context outside of consumers).
Nvidia can only delay for so long otherwise their product strategy top-down is skewed and starts to become a headache.
