Bofox, according to rollo's theory, nvidia is/may just be holding back the gp100 to starve high end users. So amd isn't beating nvidia to the punch, nvidia is just starving everyone because it makes business sense.....
Starving Tesla market because it makes business sense. The 1080 will kill off titan x sales and not having an ultra expensive pascal titan to replace it, makes business sense....somehow.
I, on the other hand, think that nvidia couldn't be in anymore of a hurry to get gp100 Tesla cards on the market. But, I could be wrong.
As for the new rumor you just posted, I actually have been expecting something like this to "leak" out. Obstruct when you can't compete, that has been in AMD'S play book for some time now. You have witnessed it, although you may not have put it together yet. There are plenty of examples, freesync should be fresh on your mind. AMD did all they could to obstruct and hold off people from going gysnc. They were no where close to a competitive solution but had ever one believing that gysnc was nothing but a money grab and they would have a better solution just around the corner....which of course, they knew wasn't true. There was no monitors and it was a long long way off, but yeah...just around the corner turned out to be an extremely long time. And freesync, well it wasn't free either.
Anyway, the timing of this is all you need. Some random guy post something and you better believe that it's gonna be spread throughout the entire interwebs by rumor articles and amd super troopers. "Vega is just around the corner, only 3-4 months away. It's gonna be faster and cheaper and more efficient. It will beat pascal on every metric, by a lot. It's dumb to buy a card today, you should at least wait to see what amd has up their sleeve with vega, it's just a tiny wait". You can imagine the drill.
See, it doesn't matter if vega launches in Oct or not because if they can get people to wait that long then it is just rinse and repeat. Some made up benchmarks and new planted info, then you go at it again. OCTOBER- see look at the charts, vega I'd amassing!!! It's just around the corner. If people start questioning...they will point to the unsubstantiated alleged vega performance figures and say that this is proof that it is just around the corner. And since the charts will be most likely made up, they should look pretty darn good. Anyone who had waited and hoped for that long, they will easily eat it up. See, this will make them feel validation, even better about waiting.
No matter how far vega is away or where it will per, amd would much rather stop people from buying nvidia cards. Obstruct
