We've heard many times that since AMD helped co-develop HBM with SK Hynix that they'd get some sort of priority over NVIDIA in sourcing it and thus force NVIDIA to wait or come up with alternate plans. Many of us who knew better, that locking out a company with 80%+ marketshare would make no business sense, said otherwise but it fell on deaf or overly hopeful ears:
Looks like Pascal is on track for a 2016 release with HBM 2.

In a report published earlier today, Business Korea said that both SK hynix and Samsung Electronics are planning to mass produce second-gen High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) for Nvidia's Pascal GPU. Production will start in Q1 2016 following the pilot production and reliability tests expected to complete later this year.
An industry source said, "There are clear signs of a change in the structural design of CPUs, GPUs, DRAM memory, and storage led by Intel and Nvidia, which control standards in the market."
