Amd Volcanic Islands details

After seeing this, if Nvidia are going to make a Maxwell with most of it's GPU compute removed it's going to be very vulnerable next year, especially with AMD's developer ties.

You have to understand that cutting down GPGPU is a choice made by Nvidia. GK110 is better at GPGPU than anything AMD has to offer right now; the thing is, Nvidia makes a lot of money on professional GPU segment (unlike AMD), so they cripple gaming GPUs on purpose to get people who do need GPGPU performance to spend more.

Once there is sufficient demand for gaming GPGPU performance, I am sure they will step up.

This is very unfortunate, but there's absolutely nothing we can do about it. It's their business model.

I hope for 512-bit mem bus

Not happening, would increase die size and PCB cost too much. Not really feasible.
