I was sure that i read somewhere that GDDR6 has not even been named as a product yet and that only GDDR5X was in the works for the near term.

Do we have any real idea when new gen CARDS will be out from NV and AMD?

I've only seen articles dating the new cards to summer 2016 for both manufacturers.
In addition, if they are coming on summer/end of summer, they are both manufacturing the chips now. On every new card release so far i've seen chips dated back 6-9 months before the cards release.

That would be a very long time on Nvidia's part. They would never wait for end of summer. I'll put money on April at the earliest.

Its not about their decision (or AMDs) when they release, its about 16/14nm GPU and HBM2 production ramp up.

Nvidia?
If that's true and Nvidia throw 970 and 980 replacements out a few months earlier AMD's market share will continue to fall which isn't good.
Personally I don't believe we will get any massive gains because they will do what they did with the 900 from 700 and start by releasing mid-range cards with smallish performance increases and trickle stuff while waiting on AMD's next range before releasing the big chips.
Sure I get it the Titan X replacement will be a lot faster than the Titan X but you'll have to sit there for the best part of a year with slightly faster 1070 or 1080's results being rammed down your neck by every man on behalf of Nvidia.

Is this Tech not the BIG leap that will make medium range cards out perform the high-end cards of 2015??

What about the rumored dual GM200?
Personally i think neither will release new cards before Q2.
If the rumored specs are true, the mid range will be about on par with the present high end ones. So yeah we need to wait for the new tech high end ones.

There was no indication of any further plans from nvidia regarding dual card. There is no need for them to do so as well, since people are happy with whatever nvidia is selling, there is no need for dual GPU.
On the other hand there was quite a few 'news' bits about fury x2 being delayed till next year. So i guess AMD is still serious on releasing it if there is any financial point of doing it.
I wouldn't rule out q2 release of some low end, mid end pipe cleaner GPUs, but only from nvidia, as AMD doesn't have any cash to play around.

You mean like a 980 outperforms a Titan Black?
Seriously
