It will be a mid-range board powered by a chip most likely called GM107

You'd think that, as is the norm, NVIDIA would introduce the Maxwell graphics processing units architecture with a bang, by unveiling a new super video card, but some say that's not what will happen.

SweClockers made a report not long ago, a report I am wary of believing given how completely “out there” it is.

Nevertheless, it is the closest thing to an update on Maxwell that we've got right now.

Basically, SweClockers say that the first Maxwell GPU to reach the market will be the GM107, and will power the mid-range GeForce GTX 750 Ti next month (February 2014). It will replace the GeForce 650 Ti.

We don't know the specs, save for the coherent memory that Maxwell boasts, a special buffer for the CPU and GPU.

The high-end Maxwell cards will probably come out only later this year, and their GPUs might have integrated ARM processors (NVIDIA Maxwell GM117 has a Denver dual core).
