While it is really well overdue for some new hardware from team RED, it seems that they may actually start believing it themselves. A lot of rumors have been going round as of late that the Hawaii Island chips maybe out the end of the year.
According Xbit, they will be coming as early as October!

Geforce GTX 790 and Titan Ultra? Possibly in the works.
There have been a couple of rumors that the 790 was in the works, in addition to the massive amount of hope for a dual GK110 from the community, myself included. I can't lie, it would beat my 690s into a pulp, but I think it would be an engineering feat to get them sandwiched together.
Rumors coming out of Fudzilla state that the 790 is in the works (GK110s) and possible a proper Tesla unit, Titan Ultra, with higher clock rates and all SMXs working.

VideoCardz believe there is a Titan Ultra in the works, but their belief is that it is a 790 rather than two individual cards being worked on.

Not to mention nVidia's official plans include Maxwell around the end of Q1, 2014. Rumors also include Radeon HDs have been pushed closer to production (to as soon as November?!).
What both rumors don't tell you however, it doesn't seem super likely to be running 20nm if true, and if not true.... why release more of the same cards? We do know that TSMC still isn't mass producing the smaller fabrication, and by calculations (based off of nVidias GFLOPs vs. Watt Roadmap Slide), it isn't possible to release their intended Maxwell without a die shrink.
With all this focus on the new console generation as well, AMD has been having to spend a lot of its fabrication queues on chips for the Xbox One, PS4, Wii, Wii U, and Xbox 360.
These rumors seem at best wishful think for now, only these two giants really know what is going on.

MSI Geforce GTX 780 3GB Lightning Is Out!
If only I had the cash to splurge... who does anymore? It is very pricey, but it is good to see custom GTX 780 as I predicted. It will definitely give Titans a run a for their money.

PS4 vs Xbox One - Pre-Order Totals to August 24th 2013
Up until the week ending August 24 the PlayStation 4 currently leads in the total number of pre-orders in the US with about 600,000. This is up significantly since E3 where there were only 75,000 pre-orders. The Xbox One is still lagging behind with 350,000 pre-orders. This is also way up since E3 where there were only 45,000 pre-orders.
HSA targets native parallel execution in Java virtual machines by 2015
Industry consortium HSA Foundation intends to bring native support for parallel acceleration in Java virtual machines, which would make it easier to tap into multiple processors like graphics processors to speed up code execution.
