Overall, I'm a bit underwhelmed.

31.34 SP and 15.67 DP GFLOPS/W for Pascal Tesla with HBM RAM don't sound that great when the 28nm FirePros are at ~20 SP and ~10 DP GFLOPS/W . Seems like all the machinery to do double precision is costing them a lot of transistors and power consumption. Of course, CUDA has been the preferred architecture for scientific workloads for a while, but that could shift a bit of marketshare, if AMD manages more than a 50% performance per watt increase with Polaris Server GPUs.
