I fail to see how this is any different than the FUD that was spread about PS3's Cell processors, or the "DX10+" capabilities of XENOS? There's no limit to human stupidity, and 3GB vs 8GB is the...

So an obvious question: why would you put a hot card like a GTX 690 into a case where it "exhales" straight into a solid plexiglass window? That seems far less than optimal. A better design would've...

The picture with it sitting on your desk and next to your monitor? That doesn't look anything like a Mini-ITX case at the end of the day. In this specific regard, what was the "gain" in going uITX?

Google translation was a bit rough, but those are indeed some stellar results. The TDP of the CPU now gets "penalized" for keeping the VRM underneath the same package, or in other words, the Haswell...

There's nothing "micro" about that mATX chassis man :)

It looks like you could toss a full size board in there; that's an immense footprint.

Ok, so you are now aware that clockspeed AND voltage varies with load? Because I wasn't getting that from your prior statements. You seemed to suggest that there were two possible loads - 0% or 100%....

Again, I've been talking about voltage (and clockspeed) as a function of load. Today's CPU's do vary their multiplier with load. I'm not sure what else you're trying to describe; this technology...

Exosphase,

Rather than playing quote hell, let's just say this: all of the Core architectures support multiple VIDs for varying loads. If the CPU only ever reported two states: zero and 100%, then...

Well, the screencap is obviously after the load has been relieved. The voltage we see there is more than likely the idle voltage rather than the load voltage. I say that with the suggestion that the...

Again, and just as Dave pointed out, that's not "new" to GCN. This same ordeal exists on VLIW4 and VLIW5 parts.

I certainly agree with the comparison between NV and AMD/ATI, my contention was that it's not net-new for GCN. VLIW4 and VLIW5 parts both suffered the same issues.

Oh no, this is nothing "new" to GCN. MIcrostutter has been around for a long time, arguably it has existed since AFR solutions were first brought forth no matter which vendor you are speaking about.
