Interesting. However marco didn’t seem to be too happy with the lenses, some distortion and he, had to get used to them ’ that worries me a bit

They have a very small eyebox within which the image is close to perfect and the current distortion profile is still in a beta state. Any eye position deviation is a lot more noticable than with Gen3.
I think that’s the physical price you pay for aspheric lenses at this FOV.
As much as I like pancake lenses, there are clear advantages to high end aspheric lenses not the least of which is its light permeability. At almost 100% brightness from the panel to my eyeballs, a fictional pancake alternative would have to be equipped with 1000nit+ panels to deliver 200 nits to my eyeballs; melting my face in the process or employing an unrealistic watercooling/extreme air cooling solution.

Correct, all very true. At this point in time with current lens tech there always are compromises. Personally for me a geometrically correct and stable image is probably THE most important factor. I loved my Varjo’s quite a lot but the distortion always bothered me. Personally I’d take geometrically stability over brightness so I guess I should just conclude aspheric lenses are not my thing.
I’ve never even tried pancake lenses. At the recommendation of @john2910 I bought a quest 3, also because I’m really looking forward to try these lenses. Will get it in a week. I have a feeling pancake is just for me 
BTW Samsung demonstrated some extremely high NIT panels at CES, which is great for use with pancake of course. So that way the disadvantage of pancake can hopefully migated soon with those higher brightness panels.

Do you have a source for that?
Edit: I doubt you will come up with a source other than ‚it’s always been a two year cycle‘ tbh
One the other hand, there is a confirmed by NVIDIA roadmap that shows an Ada Lovelace Next launch not before 2025:

Yeah, NVIDIA is known to delay, not to do the contrary. Even if some rumours now say they might release Q4 this year already, I don’t believe it one bit. We always see those rumours and they never materialize. What usually happens is that NVIDIA delays even more than already expected.
