You have missed the big bump of its base clock. In fact, the performance jump is at least at 55%.
Compared to the Titan X the base clock rises from 1000MHz to 1328MHz (+32.8%). From the M40 it's even +40%.
The shaders grow by 16,67%.
Titan X -> GP100 +55%
M40 -> GP100 +63%
And it doesn't end there. Technically the Chip has 3840 shaders, but to ramp up yield efficiency of the new 16nm process NVidia has limited them to 3584. And the professional cards always have a lower clock speed.
So a postprocessor of the Titan X might even see a jump of +25% in shaders and +40% in clock rate. A whopping +75% in performance would be the result.
And all the internal improvements are not even calculated.
In short terms: that new thing is a Monster (and will sadly have a monster price tag).
