AMD: Pirate Islands (R* 3** series) Speculation/Rumor Thread

Any idea about the "Made in Korea"

Samsung, UMC, Hynix are all in Korea.
Also a lot of semiconductor packaging houses there.

Edit- Just found Amkor on a different list.
I guess it is marked "Made in Korea" due to being assembled and packaged by Amkor.


So we still don't know exactly who fabbed the Fiji die.
Interposer = UMC
HBM = Hynix
Packaging and assembly = Amkor
GPU die = ???

I have an idea. If the CEO cuts her compensations which are actually even greater than JHH's, and directs this money into engineering power, I think the company would feel much better. Lower margins or higher margins aside.

Ok, let's assume that you are correct and FIJI costs more, and so what given that idea?...

b-but gender equality. OT, how much are AMD saving on R&D by iterating the GCN design than going the kepler->maxwell route?
 
I wonder how long until we see a 'R9 Nano M' for laptops/AIOs. It could be comfortably ahead of the GTX 980M, and the smaller PCB area could interest OEMs (Apple especially).

We hear nothing about GloFo, so I would think it is still TSMC with an improved 28 nm process.


Fury X won't push Crysis 3 to playable framerates at 4K. :(

Doesn't the 290x already average 30 at high settings?
Meaning the fury x should do around 45 at least.
That's playable.

Tnx, that's interesting. So that's some kind of a tech analyst company. I'm guessing it's just some sort of marketing deal?

It's a sponsored paper.
Last year, AMD, ARM, and Nvidia had a fair presence at a different firm. A bit flashier than this year, but in defense of the latest mouthpiece there was a lot more to say and show.

For the long-time veterans of the Bulldozer thread, there's a familiar name in their About Us page.

(Just for fun, do a text search for AMD on that page.)
 
5 minutes to edit a post....

Anyway, the numbers from the "leaked" slides during Titan X's launch had far cry 4 as the best game against Titan X.

Titan X faster than 290X in far cry 4 by (TS?)29.1% TP - 31.5% TR- 25%

And 390X(now Fury, thanks moor?) faster than 290X by 55% , so 20.1% , 17.8% and 24% faster than Titan X respectively. Would be hard for 980Ti to catch up even with overclocking.

The other would be alien isolation where it's 18% or so faster, while BF4 and Tomb Raider had them at parity.

AFAIK those TPU graphs show average FPS, not min FPS.

How would that be possible? A graph plots frequency over time, showing you actual FPS at any particular point of gameplay. It would by pure function be a direct indicator of minimum FPS.

Also, in most cases, average FPS is more interesting to a gamer, as you'd only encounter minimum FPS on a few - maybe just one - typically very short moments.

Graphics analysis tools capture frame times - you can plot anything from this, including momentary FPS for each individual frame and aggregate FPS (min, max, average, etc.) over regular time intervals.

Has anyone seen the aircooled Fury non-X anywhere?
I'm really curious as to how long that card will be with an aircooler. I assume the PCB will be as small as the Fury X or the Nano, but the cooler should make it longer.

From Triskaine's post:

596mm^2

So Fiji manages to be a little bit smaller than GM200, despite having 11% more transistors.
Quite the feat for a first-gen HBM controller, I'd say.
