How does this stack up against the Titan X for ML applications? Is the extra 1gb or ram critical or will this be a comparable (or even greater) offering?

The difference between 11gb and 12gb isn't meaningful for most users of ML.

Yes, there are problems where squeezing in a slightly larger model than 11gb would give slightly better results; but that size of problem also would generally require a lot of computing power, at that point you're not comparing specs of a single card but benchmarks and scaling for clusters of multi-gpu machines.

Uncharacteristically for NVIDIA, it maintains the 8INT mode, so pretty damn well...

I'd buy the 1080 Ti instead. Titan XP is near double the cost! 1 GB extra isn't worth it.
