Yes, I think that's what the GM 200 cut 6GB in the graph will be, assuming if true.
Nvidia did the same 2 years ago. Titan launched in Feb/March, 780 launched in May ,then 780Ti came out in the fall.

Probably given with some salt too.

No, only the 390s.
At first it was believed that only 390 and 390X will come earlier in the year with every other R300 card being rebrand of earlier series, but then delays happened and rumors came that R300 will only have new chips.
We shall see if mid range will have HBM. Lowend will probably stick to GDDR5.

I'm sure I saw those benchmarks already some time ago, anyway good on AMD if this is true.

What this means is nVidia is going to be forced to lower the price the Titan X below the 390X. People are expecting it to come in at $599. So much for a $1000 Titan X
99% sure this won't be the case. Two reasons, Titan is a semi-professional card without double precision performance cut out, so some pro users buy it as a less expensive workstation cards (while some gamers buy it as a ridiculously high end gaming card).
That alone will make them not cut the price much, because it would eat into sales of their very expensive, high margin professional card.
The second reason being, Nvidia is perfectly happy marching to the tune of their own pricing band, they've never been shy about trying to charge a premium over AMD cards of near or better performance.
So almost certainly fake then.

wccftech is the capo de capos of sub-garbage tier news though
Or maybe people pay attention to the driver situation and be willing to see that AMD has improved their drivers recently. In effect statements like this completely validate the pricing strategy Nvidia is using on their captive market.

I can see Nvidia releasing a GM200 without DP and use 6GB
They make that Chartz site appear to be noted scholars and gentlemen.

Thanks AMD for all your innovation throughout the years, HBM will be a next gen leap if the rumors are true.

I think this was posted in the Titan X thread. I'd like to see something proper about the 390x.
I'm 90% sure it'll be my next card though. Disappointed with the 980 and I'm never going to be a buyer of Titans.

GTX 980 SLI has better performance then a Titan x?

They're available right now for Windows 10 Technical Preview users through Windows Update. Still buggy though.
I'm going to take these benchmarks with a grain of salt for now though. Rather wait for the real coverage to begin.
First to dualcore. First to X64. First to 28nm. First to GHz GPU clock. First to DX11. And now, first to HMB memory.
Yes. TitanX chip consists from 980+50% of its modules [or GTX960 x3].

This is great for the simple fact it means a card like the 780 (5-10% slower then titan for cheaper) is likely to come to market much faster

Yeah, I am going to wait for a moment to see how this pans out.
I'm in the same boat. I'm planning on building a new rig around May and by then, the 980 would have been on the market for 8 months already. I hope they release the 980 Ti by then :'(

I guess I am going 980 SLI then
After looking at the source, it seems these benchmarks are extremely suspect. Here's proof:
Wccftech selectively included just one benchmark (below):
But the source actually has one more benchmark:
Notice how the resolution is higher but somehow the framerate is higher too? Also the Titan X clock is 4 lower than the one above, which make even less sense. Yeah. Might want to take these with a grain of salt. These could very well be simulation done based on assumptions/speculations if not downright doctored.
EDIT:
Guess I was wrong. The numbers are based on relative performance to 290X.

Notice how the word framerate or FPS doesn't appear once in the graph?
Relative performance compared to the 290x.
Yup, this is how I read it. Obviously doesn't take away the fact the source is sketchy,but it's not a smoking gun.
Ahhh. Ok. At least now that makes sense. Thanks!
Notice how this is from WCCFTECH with Chiphell as its news source...

Also how the fuck would they have a cut down Titan to benchmark?

GPU manufacturers been increasing compute power and amount of ram but not the bandwidth.
AMD finds a way to increase bandwidth. FINALLY.
Easy win for them.

It's impressive that possibly the 4gb Fiji card bests the 12gb Titan X.
But I think its important that AMD gets an 8gb 390X out there asap to really put the heat on Nvidia. Even though an 8gb version of the 390X will only likely yield a 5-10% improvement over a 4gb version, it's important for marketing purposes so that Nvidia can't pull the wool over the eyes of the uninformed consumer who sees 12gb memory as superior to something lower from AMD.

Same as with any unofficial per-release info, don't make any decisions until reviewers have retail product in their hands, and the reviews are written.
To have something to sell in the price range in between the Titan X and the GTX 980.
Has memory bandwidth really been an issue? Just like AMD and Nvidia release their graphics cards with appropriate amount of memory in relation to their horsepower, i feel like bandwidth has been no different.

not sure if i believe these 390 results are legit simply because rumors peg the card as months away. but the faster the better.
