In terms of GP102 being faster than GP100 in FP32 due to lack of DP:
What actually are the scenarios you need DP compute? Seems like mostly for deep learning.
GP102 focusing on SP makes sense. You can use it as 1080Ti, Titan and in the Quadro line. You then can also cram in more stuff into GP100 as it does not need any silicon for actually display stuff (ROPs) and get a much smaller die for GP102 with at least same if not higher FP32.
Actually, what they call "deep learning" or this new category of HPC application doesn't need high precision maths, they make do with FP16, which prior NV GPUs could not do. So it's wasted GPU FP32 flops basically.
The question is what can FP64/DP be used for? Usually anything scientific that requires the precision in their numbers basically. How accurate do you want to be, FP64 is for those that want the most accuracy.
Gaming is FP32, and in fact I've seen several presentations about the ability to use FP16 for many tasks, as they run much faster, it equates to a performance benefit for GPUs that are capable of running 2x FP16 per clock instead of 1x FP32.
Would not be surprised if some new Pascal "Optimized" GameWorks utilize FP16, and Pascal will easily be 3x faster than Maxwell at those features.
As to why not make a pure gaming chip? They did, Maxwell was it. But at some point, once they dominate the marketshare, gaming profit is not going to continue to grow. There's a finite mature gaming market and it's shared with AMD for dGPU. This point was raised several times by myself and others. Even if they continue to dominate 80:20, they aren't going to spike up their profits much more than it is currently.
So gaming profit growth will stagnate.
But it's also very risky to rely on maintaining 80:20, AMD could be very competitive and take back some and that means a drop in revenue & profit for NV's gaming financial.
Rather, they can make very flexible uarch that can split up FP32 for 2x FP16, join it up for FP64 and going with some specialized FP64 for the high end that needs it, this means they can attack and expand into multiple markets that are growing very fast while still having very strong gaming performance.
