A quote from the article:
Today marks the introduction of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, with the same high-end GPU as the Titan X (Pascal), but cheaper. You can read all about this new card in this article, including benchmarks for both single-GPU and SLI.

About nine months ago Nvidia released the GeForce GTX 1080 and 1070 cards, based on the GP104 GPU. This is a mid-range GPU, with a die size and memory bus comparable to mid-range GPUs of previous generations. However, since AMD had no product with comparable performance, nothing stood in the way of Nvidia charging high-end prices for the GTX 1070 and 1080.

Meanwhile, Nvidia did introduce the Pascal-version of the Titan X, based on the GP102 GPU. This card was Nvidia's fastest GPU, and it was also extremely expensive. The release of a GTX 1080 Ti, with the same GPU but some differences, at some point in the future would not be surprising. After all, this is what we have seen for some generations. That point is now, probably not very coincidental, since there are some noises about AMD introducing a new high-end card (Vega).
