^Coming from you, that's very optimistic!

I'd say that Pascal will be able to achieve 1.6GHz easily, at least when overclocked.

We're talking base clock at the very least, not boost clock! 

The GTX Titan X at 1.2GHz is about 60% faster than a reference GTX 980, the GP104 at 300mm^2 succeeding an OC'd GM200 will be almost a miracle ... 

I let it go in your previous post, but you're doing it again: don't try to cheat comparing reference vs overclocked cards!

Sure, a Titan X overclocked to 1.2GHz can be 60% faster than a reference 980. But a reference 980 is clocked at 1.1GHz and can be "easily" overclocked to almost 1.4GHz, with the boost exceeding 1.5GHz, reducing that advantage to what, 35-40%?

That's the performance jump Nvidia delivered going from the 780 to the 980, with two different architectures but the same process node and going from a 560mm² chip to a smaller 400mm² one.

With a new architecture and a new process node, Nvidia can deliver that performance jump with a 300mm² chip.
