hdmi 2.0a/b doesn't tell you how fast the chip is.

the french site there made an "error" calling a 10 gbit/s chip HDMI 2.0B and a 18 gbit/s chip HDMI2.0A. both these spec didn't existed at this time and most important they don't mean them.
they are using them to give a 10 gbit/s HDMI 2.0 device a name but that is backfiring now...
and it is not the first time HDMI had an a, b or even c as a new spec.

HDMI 2.0b doesn't mean everything that HDMI 2.0b can do can be done with a device that has this sticker or that this device even needs more than a 10 gbit/s connector.

you can assume all new cards can send 18 gbit/s.
all maxwell 2.0 cards are 18 gbit/s already.
all kepler/maxwell 1.0 cards can do basic HDMI 2.0 "stuff" with 10 gbit/s without HDCP 2.2. and these cards are older than HDMI 2.0 if nvidia updates them and give them the possibility to send HDR than they would be technically HDMI 2.0a still without HDCP 2.2 and of cause still with 10 gbit/s.

b is the new spec btw.

i don't see an hardware level change with hdmi 2.0a to hdmi 2.0b so polaris and vega could updated or are released with hdmi 2.0b too same for maxwell 2.0 cards.
hdmi 2.0b is so new it is not on the wiki yet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI

and you have to look at what a device can do not what number is written on it anyway.
sorry but the HDMI spec is not transparent at all.
