This info also correlates to what I've been hearing about tbh, with AMD slipping to Sept ish
Pascal/Polaris gonna be in time for my GPU upgrade cycle then, though unless I'm mistaken we still don't know for sure what VRAM its going to use, with a strong possibility we will get GDDR5x. Considering AMD as of their roadmap appeared to have HBM2 planned for the next release along, not this one. Hoping Nvidia have HBM2 in either the 1070 or 1080, else I may wait around a little bit for the next release with HBM2.
It sounds like pascal should be a good boost in performance anyway with the new process and all, but I think theres 2 major upgrades to GPUs in the pipeline, so releasing one without the other seems a little half baked. I guess they will release what they have on hand at the time though, if HBM2 is running behind or whatever.
Question is if these will come with HBM2 or GDDR5X, if it's the latter it maybe worth waiting for the HBM2 cards to ship.
Samsung started mass-producing 4-stack HBM2 in January. iirc AMD's priority supply agreement with with Hynix, who've only just started producing 2-stack HBM2. If NV have an agreement with Samsung...
I mean, the likelihood is this will be P104 with something other than HBM2, but if all the tech news we've heard is to be believed, it's not impossible for them to have an HMB2 card out on July...

Polaris launching in June.
Edit!!
Lisa Su said Polaris would launch in the middle of the year in time for the "back to school season" which starts in July:
https://translate.google.co.uk/trans...u-interview%2F
So that means AMD shipping to OEMs beforehand.The aim is mid-2016, in particular the major in the United States back-to-school period should be available not only desktop solutions, but above all also notebook graphics chips.
She is on record saying that.
From that article:
From the Digitimes article:AMD’s Radeon 400 series will launch in June. The preview may happen at Computex which starts end of May. However the official launch will take place end of June. So we are probably looking at paper launch at Computex and hard launch with reviews later that month.
Seems to be a contradiction,unless AMD is getting out volume sales in OEM computers and laptops before Nvidia,and the AIB cards get launched later on.Meanwhile, AMD has prepared Polaris-based GPUs to compete against Nvidia's Pascal; however, the GPUs will be released later than Nvidia's Pascal and therefore the graphics card players' third-quarter performance will mainly be driven by demand for their Nvidia products.
I think Hexus might to modify their article a bit IMHO.

They are probably selling it with GDDR5X this year and an "enhanced" version with HBM2 next year. Just to maximize profits and to not let AMD get ahead of them.
Maybe they meant a nVidia 'release' such as the Pascal announcement that's already happened, so yes, it's going to be laterOriginally Posted by digitimes
Nope,since Lisa Su talked about availability:
It starts in July with nearly 1/3 of back to school sales happening then and 65% of purchasing decisions for the next month made then. This is according to IPSOS-MORI and Google.The aim is mid-2016, in particular the major in the United States back-to-school period should be available not only desktop solutions, but above all also notebook graphics chips.
For them to get them into laptops and OEM desktops,AMD need to be shipping in volume beforehand.
Digitimes is vague - shipping in volume does not mean availability in July for Pascal.
They have not said if it is bare GPUs or cards and OEMs need to build up stocks beforehand.
Edit!!
AMD have already announced Polaris 10 and 11 and shown off slides months ago.
Second Edit!!
Digitimes article:
which contradicts this:Meanwhile, AMD has prepared Polaris-based GPUs to compete against Nvidia's Pascal; however, the GPUs will be released later than Nvidia's Pascal and therefore the graphics card players' third-quarter performance will mainly be driven by demand for their Nvidia products.

Steam - ReapedYou - Feel free to add me!!
So,we have Lisa Su saying on record availability for laptops and probably desktops for middle of the year,ie,probably July and another site saying a June launch for Polaris,AMD showing off the chips in operation and now all of a sudden Digitimes saying Polaris won't be available for most of Q3 2016 which is up to September.
Something is quite fishy about it,just saying!
not even GDDR5X either as its not ready - these will be GDDR5
What are the likely VRAM limits of GDDR5 and GDDR5X per card?
Looking to upgrade to something with at least 8Gb VRAM in the near future.
