No actual technical specs have been released for Pascal, just various sound bites, so everything out there is just rumor and speculation and we really have no idea how much faster Pascal might be. You're correct, hash algorithms are exclusively integer math, so an increase in floating point performance doesn't really mean much if anything. Historically speaking, we should expect a 20-35% increase in performance. I would be surprised if it is more than 40% faster.
The Titan X will not drop in price when Pascal is released, just like the Titan and Titan Z have not dropped in price.
A release date hasn't even been announced for Pascal, so I don't see a point in waiting.
