Nope, I didn't miss the big bump in base clock. First, base clock is irrelevant. oclHashcat runs at the boost clock until it runs up against PowerMizer. Second, we run all of our Titan X at 1515 Mhz. So the bump in clocks doesn't mean very much to us. Third, a 40% increase in clockrate does NOT translate to a 40% increase in performance. So you are over-exaggerating the impact of a higher base clock. Also, Titan X and M40 are literally the exact same GPU, so I don't know why you have two different figures there.
The one thing you didn't notice was the 300W TDP in spite of 256 cores being disabled. Which is a bit hard to believe considering the die shrink. Why double the transistors for only a 25% increase in cores? What is drawing 50W more power? Why do we have cores disabled on a flagship GPU?
