Nvidia's Tesla P100 does not use the full Pascal GPU core

[WYP]

Nvidia's Tesla P100 does not use the full Pascal GPU core, with 256 GPU cores being left out of the design. This many mean that "Big Pascal" may be able to offer a full 11.3TFLOPs of single precision performance.

You can expect the consumer version to be much more toned down. Fully enabled cores but no HBM2 as well as dropping NVlink. They more than likely only went all out because the servers/cloud/supercomputer market for them is much more profitable. No consumer could afford a GPU with this many features. Dropping HBM2/NVlink and I think we have our TX but with some more cores.

Probably down to yields on early production.

There could be a full fat version later with everything enabled.

HBM2 and NVlink will probably stay as it would mean redesigning the chips to get rid of them.

Titan card will probably have all the cores enabled and the Ti version will possibly have specs similar to the OP but with higher clockspeeds.

Don't think gamers will see any of this until 2017.

Well they could drop it. Don't think NVlink is part of the core. It's on a separate pcb that they can drop the die in. If HBM2 stays, late 2016/early 2017 is when it will launch. If they decide to have a separate consumer build then expect GDDR5(or 5X depending on launch date) and probably costing around $1000-1500)

I think this time they will make a bigger gap between Titan and Ti. They should at least, people will pay for it and make a bigger profit so business wise it would work.
