Complete specs are still unknown, but rumors say, that the GDDR6 RAM could be faster than HBM2.

You don't need the rumors.
Using Hynix's GDDR6 on a 384-bit memory bus yields 768GB/s of bandwidth.
That is 14Gbps memory, 16Gbps should already be rolling out which would (if everything else was kept equal) provide 875GB/s of bandwidth, 20Gbps memory would take that up a notch again.

Whether GDDR6 ends up being faster than HBM2 is entirely down to how it is implemented.

You can have GDDR5 Ram faster than HBM2 if you take it wide enough.

 It'd certainly boil down to trade-off when the chip manufacturers (both Samsung and Hynix) facilitate mass production with low cost.  HBM 3 is already looking into this aspect and where we could see cards coming out in 2019 using it. Currently V100 Tesla(Nvidia Data Centre/workstation) has already achieved close to 900 GBytes/second(courtesy of HBM2/4096-bit). The series with HBM 3 will clearly intend to be very close or surpass that mark even with lesser memory bit interface and cost intended for gamers.
