Nvidia Titan X announced (1200$, 12GB of GDDR5X memory, 11 teraflops)

There are so many odd things with this Titan card, starting with Nvidia using the same name as the last Titan again.

Then there's the specs:

 

NVIDIA GPU Specification Comparison
	NVIDIA Titan X	GTX 1080
CUDA Cores	3584	2560
Texture Units	224?	160
ROPs	96?	64
Core Clock	1417MHz	1607MHz
Boost Clock	1531MHz	1733MHz
TFLOPs (FMA)	11 TFLOPs	9 TFLOPs
Memory Clock	10Gbps GDDR5X	10Gbps GDDR5X
Memory Bus Width	384-bit	256-bit
Memory Bandwidth	480GB/s	256GB/s
VRAM	12GB	8GB
FP64	1/32?	1/32
TDP	250W	180W

Transistor Count	12B	7.2B
Manufacturing Process	TSMC 16nm	TSMC 16nm
Launch Price	$1200	MSRP: $599 / Founders $699

Not only is Nvidia using the same GDDR5X of the 1080 instead of HBM 2.0, but it doesn't even have 50% more cores and the frequencies are much lower.

I'm not a fan of SLI/X-fire, but you'll get more performance buying two 1080 and SLI them, and for about the same money.
