The point your missing is that 12 Gigabit chips aren't in the pipeline... They have been defined by JEDEC as a standard, that's pretty much it, they might not ever exist.
Samsung for instance -is- mass producing 16 Gigabit chips.

If something isn't being manufactured, then it's likely not going to be implemented in GPU's or Consoles, it's that simple.

Hynix for instance is going even lower capacity than Samsung for it's initial run and leveraging 8 Gigabit chips.

Now to convert Bit's into Bytes you divide by 8.
Thus...
12Gb/8 = 1.5GB.
16Gb/8 = 2GB.
8Gb/8 = 1GB.

The Geforce 970 situation was well documented throughout the entire PC tech-sphere, so in this instance wccftech is reliable.
But hell. Here is Anand's take on the same issue.

BTW, 12Gb chips aren't even particularly useful or practical for ECC configurations, as these ones use typically 72bit to add ECC capabilities to a 64bit word, and that's simply achieved adding 8bit to those 64bit. Even thinking to use just one 12Gb chip to provide all the necessary bits one can easily see it's not the right size, as 72/64=9/8 ratio, while 12GB can't be divided exactly by 9 to assign 8 parts to data and one part to parity.

Okej, you guys are very funny dudes. Very nice trolling, should have caught it earlier. 1,5/3 Gb ram sticks is already widely used in the smartphone market and is now coming to the discrete gpu market. Pemalite giving me a link to guess estimate from anandtech of the gddr5x specifications gave him away.

And very soon for Gpu market, so enjoy :)
