I think this will be fitted to mid/lower end cards rather then flagship as they will "possibly" have HBM 2
 
Said this before but GDDR5x won't be a factor in GPUs until end Q4 at the earliest. Just isn't ready in line with next GPUs. HBM 2.0 will be on the high end cards and everything else will still be GDDR5 because of costs obviously. I think it may be likely that in 2017 we get a small refresh with the improved GDDR5x chips.
 
I wonder how the pricing on this will be or if it will be more a synthetic price increase to differentiate performance tiers between GDDR5 and GDDR5X?

But will it still be worth it then?... When HBM exists, I mean?...
