1080 ti rumor with 10 gb of vram.
That kind of product policy would not convince me as a high(er)-end customer. Early on, you only get severely cut-down parts which will last you ~1 year longer (since launched earlier) and in the end, you will get the more desireable cards which are fully enabled (780 Ti > Titan) only to have them become obsolete even more quickly because of the new generation following it (Titan X <= GTX 1080/1070).So are we thinking that Nvidia determined that Vega won't arrive for a while, so they are preparing a 1080 Ti based on a decently cut down GP102 so the Titan X remains relevant?
It's relatively clean-cut to market an 8gb card at $600, a 10gb card at $800-1000 and a 12gb card at $1200.
Then shortly after Vega, do a 1100-series pascal refresh in mid-late 2017 with a fully enabled 24gb gp102 titan and a beefier (if not fully enabled) 12gb 1180 Ti and so on. Kinda like the 700 series.

I for one will probably be driven towards more sane choices in the 300-EUR-range.
Our SATURNV supercomputer, powered by new Tesla P100 GPUs, delivers 9.46 gigaflops/watt — a 42 percent improvement from the 6.67 gigaflops/watt delivered by the most efficient machine on the Top500 list released just last June. Compared with a supercomputer of similar performance, the Camphore 2 system, which is powered by Xeon Phi Knights Landing, SATURNV is 2.3x more energy efficient.
http://hexus.net/tech/news/laptop/99829-laptops-nvidia-gtx-1050-1050-ti-graphics-launch-ces-2017/Asus and MSI are the current top dogs in the gaming laptop market and are both mentioned above as being among the first adoptees of the GTX 1050/1050 Ti for such devices. Meanwhile Lenovo, HP and Dell all want a piece of the action. With the introduction of the lower priced GPUs this should mean a good amount of competition in "the inexpensive US$899-$1,299 price range," reckons DigiTimes. Thankfully, with Nvidia using the same chips in desktop and laptop form factors now, the performance you will achieve with the upcoming GTX 1050 (and 1050 Ti) laptops is nicely predictable.
Interestingly there is also talk of both Samsung and LG eyeing the PC gaming market. Right on their South Korean doorsteps is plenty of evidence that PC gaming is a lucrative business thanks to the country's own thriving computer gaming culture.
Also amusingly Micron it seems no longer list their GDDR5X, been checking for nearly a month now since I notice it went AWOL and either they have removed it since then or moved it somewhere else that I cannot see.A little cross-posting from the Vega-10-thread since it also applies to GP100:

SK Hynix now lists only the faster HBM2 stacks but instead of Q3`16 availability is now set to "TBD". Nothing from Samsung after their PR from january.
Interesting and hopefully only a database glitch, since GDDR5X still servers as "features product" on their GDDR landing page:Also amusingly Micron it seems no longer list their GDDR5X, been checking for nearly a month now since I notice it went AWOL and either they have removed it since then or moved it somewhere else that I cannot see.

Yeah only other reason is glitch or hiding status.Interesting and hopefully only a database glitch, since GDDR5X still servers as "features product" on their GDDR landing page:

Over a month is too much for a glitch, definitely agreed. Haven't seen an apparent shortage of G5X products lately though (except for Titan X-P, which changed between in and out of stock quite often lately, but that's hardly a high volume product).Yeah only other reason is glitch or hiding status.
There are alternative paths to the GDDR5X data and each one of them shows zilch, but strangely it is only the GDDR5X that is affected, meaning either something interesting has happened and not reported or they have totally changed part numbers for the 3 products they offer and it is messed up.
But for over a month now, that would be some glitch.
Or they have decided to hide the product status due to the expected 11 and 12gbps products going from sampling to production.

- 980 Ti users get first spot in line for 1080 Ti pre-orders, or “Step Up” offer
The Direct Memory Access (DMA) Engine of a GPU allows for speedy data transfers between the system memory and the GPU memory. Because such transfers are part of any real-world application, the performance is vital to GPU-acceleration. Slow transfers cause the GPU cores to sit idle until the data arrives in GPU memory. Likewise, slow returns cause the CPU to wait until the GPU has finished returning results.
GeForce products feature a single DMA Engine* which is able to transfer data in one direction at a time. If data is being uploaded to the GPU, any results computed by the GPU cannot be returned until the upload is complete. Likewise, results being returned from the GPU will block any new data which needs to be uploaded to the GPU.
* one GeForce GPU model, the GeForce GTX Titan X, features dual DMA engines
The Tesla GPU products feature dual DMA Engines to alleviate this bottleneck. Data may be transferred into the GPU and out of the GPU simultaneously.
Update on this.Over a month is too much for a glitch, definitely agreed. Haven't seen an apparent shortage of G5X products lately though (except for Titan X-P, which changed between in and out of stock quite often lately, but that's hardly a high volume product).
Update on this.
Does look like all the info was removed due to upcoming product updates for the other GDDR5X models.
The 11 and 12Gb/s has now gone into manufacturing order status and seems to have happened recently: https://www.micron.com/products/dram/gddr/gddr5x-part-catalog#/
What is interesting is that their DRAM part number document late 2016 also shows the 14Gb/s (-140 with clock frequency of 1.75GHz) GDDR5x product, but that is not even showing sampling status on the url.
So wonder when/if that will be pushed.
Cheers
Yeah you are remembering right.Thanks for sharing this. I happened to notice that the gddr5x catalog was empty like a week-ish ago (and it looks like it had been that way for a while based on this thread). Good to see that it was probably done so micron could update with progression on the speedier parts.
And just to be clear, before the wipe, they listed three gddr5x options: one "contact factory" 10Gbps option and two "sampling" options (11Gbps, 12Gbps), right? Just want to make sure I'm remembering that correctly.
Yeah you are remembering right.
Just need to keep an eye to see if the 14Gb/s ends up at some point on the list in sampling status, would still mean 6-8 months wait before product order status.
Cheers
I think 14Gb/s is canceled. Micron already talked about GDDDR6 at the end ot the year/early 2018. GDDR6 will then take the 14GB/s speed. They also expect G5X Volume to grow significantly, so i expect Pascal refresh with more G5X in mid of the year. Especially the 1070 is perfect suited for a refresh with G5X.
