Supposedly leaked 1080ti specs show GDDR5 (non x)

[LucidMew]

guys, read the third line of the title, where it says the published date and author and stuff.

The source is wccftech, and if we go to that page, we see http://wccftech.com/nvidia-gtx-1080-ti-gp102-specs-leaked/

published one month ago with the same information and graphics. However, they (mistakenly(?)) say it's 12GB of GDDR5X in one of the titles of the sections, as well as the table at the end, so I honestly don't know what's going on. 

 

And the original source of wccf is this korean website: http://www.hwbattle.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=news&wr_id=40409&ckattempt=1 with the image being hosted on imgur https://imgur.com/gallery/Bk4NO

 

down the rabbit hole this whole thing goes.

What would you rather have? 100 Titan Xp sales with $800 profit each or 10000 1080ti sales with $400 profit each? The goal of the Titan Xp isn't to make a lot of money because it isn't expected to sell well. 

This is an exaggeration that is unrealistic. Look at it this way, the sales ratio wasn't even this bad with 980Ti and Titan X's, and they were very close in performance, with aftermarket 980Tis outperforming a Titan X. Titan XP is more ahead in terms of performance over a 1080.

 

What would be the reason of releasing the 1080Ti now, if the 1080 already has no competition from AMD?

The bandwith of normal GDDR5 is not a bottleneck as far as gaming is concerned.

So if Nvidia has a short on GDDR5x supplies, they could very well just slam GDDR5 on the 1080Ti.

Just like they did with the with the 1070 vs 1080.

However i think its very unlikely that they are going to do that on a 1080Ti.

Because they would definitely get backlash for that.

I'm pretty sure the 980ti and Titan X costs Nvidia a very similar amount to make. The point is that halo products aren't meant to sell well; manufacturers would rather sell a large volume of lower margin products than a extremely small amount of a large profit product. It's common sense. And why are you comparing the Titan Xp to the 1080?

Why would Intel release the 6950x when the 6700k already has no competition from AMD?
