Vietnamese store put up preorder for ASUS ROG STRIX 1180

A Vietnamese store has placed a preorder for the ASUS ROG STRIX 1180 online. Interesting as Reddit user samcuu who posted this claims this is a reputable store, he does not see a reason for them to be fooling around.

So basically the shop claims the card will be in stock on September 28th and would be a 12nm based Pascal respin with faster graphics memory(GDDR6) tagged as Turing (GT104). Notice that the 3584 CUDA cores listed are a similar amount to the 1080 Ti, and that thus hints at a Pascal respin at 12nm.

GPU: GT104
3584 CUDA cores
Memory type: GDDR6 Micron - new architecture
Size: 16GB
Memory BUS: 256-bit
Memory Speed: 14.0 Gbps

The preorder price is listed at only ~$1530 (I know). The photos that have been posted along with the listing DEFINITELY are photoshopped. Make if this what you will. Have a peek, and I'll just leave this for what it is, likely clickbait, albeit the specs really wouldn't surprise me to be real as it is confirming what we've been saying all along. A Pascal refresh called Turing with GDDR6. And yes, interesting is a mention of a release date, September 28th. The VN page has been taken offline but was listed here.

I don't think they would release the Ti model first anyway.

This. Titan, then 1180, then sometime half a year later 1180Ti.

Personally, I will be disappointed if after all this time it will be a simple Refresh with GDDR6 and process shrink. Especially with a price tag such as this, what sane person will go for this instead of 1080Ti? Exactly, nobody.

As Hilber said, a most likely a clickbait.
Regardless of this pointless news piece, we will see a 12nm + GDDR6 product, 7nm is not feasible for Nvidia this year at a big scale like geforce products...
I don't see this as an issue, AMD is a non-factor at the moment, Nvidia doesn't need to jump the gun here and release a product that would hurt their existing products in the market...
