Towards the end of the article in the table overview, they list a `NVIDIA GP100` model with a memory bus width of 4096 bit. It is still shared memory, but considering bcrypt only requires a 4k memory working set, that now fits into 8 cycles instead of the 128 of 256 bit bus architectures...

Am I wrong to think this card could really shake bcrypt GPU cracking up?

The AMD Radeon R9 Fury series has a 4096bit bus (HBM1) - it's been out for months - so it would already be shaking it up if so.

Ah, did not know that. Nevermind.
