I think I know of more people that preferred the 770 over the 280X ( or any similar comparisons down the product stack) because they use their computers and monitors as media centers as well as for gaming/productivity/content creation. The 770 and its brethren tend to be very quiet for Blu...

Not as far as I know. The site specifically excluded to the high end from the rebranded SKUs http://videocardz.com/59143/amd-radeon-m400-series-rebrands-confirmed-by-drivers

Probably because it has little "news" value excepting the attached damages amount. Icera - while still an independent company- filed the suit against Qualcomm nearly a year before Nvidia acquired the company. I think the general feeling was that between all the antitrust litigation Qualcomm was...

Rumours have been persistent for some weeks. Probably different markets. The scuttlebutt for some time has touted Gemini/Fury X2 as an OEM/VR dev tool rather than a consumer part. Latest rumours have it as a prosumer type product. Regardless of when it released, I doubt that it would be...

Then you've just inadvertently bolstered your own hypothesis of mobile parts being released first GTX 980M 256-bit 8GB GTX 970M 192-bit 6GB GTX 880M 256-bit 8GB GTX 870M 192-bit 6GB

It still requires revision from a standard GDDR5 IMC does it not? When discussions regarding incorporation of GDDR5X tech would affect the timeline for development. I doubt development and logic layout are an overnight job. If GP104 is due for a hard launch in May doesn't that require TSMC to...

Mass production =/= no production as far as I know. SK Hynix didn't announce commencement of volume production of HBM until a week before the launch of the Fury X. Given the lead in time required for GPU+HBM+Interposer packaging, test and verification, initial supplies must have been going on...

Hey, got to take the viral marketing where you can find it. Twitter and facebook have already reached saturation point - time to expand. You could ask him. 11/10 odds he answers " I cannot comment on the decision making process" :lol:

Indeed. Roberts seems to think that AMA stands for Avoid Making Acknowlegment.

Most assuredly. Good for clearing inventory and getting the branding to a wider audience, but they are still essentially buying market share at the expense of gross margins - reflected in their average discrete GPU selling price which has now slipped below $29 and their mobile variants continue...

So are Xilinx's new MPSoC's ( Taped out back in July) so at least TSMC can boast a win over Intel+Altera on the 14/16nm FGPA front.

Three cheers for Samsung then...pity they couldn't have acted sooner and spare the company the expense of preparing for the case. Judging by the Velocity Micro statement and the judge dismissing Samsung Electronics America's patent claims due to the not insignificant matter of SEA not actually...

Samsung filed with both the ITC and U.S. Federal courts in November 2014. Samsung Electronics America in addition to loading up the docket with the patents concerning Nvidia's Shield apparently also took exception to Nvidia teaching GPGPU workshops that included material supposedly relevant to...

It would be contemplating suicide to do anything else. With Glofo's execution and process ramps in the past I would sincerely doubt AMD would close the door on their only other serious alternative if Glofo's actions didn't match up to their words. The point I was attempting to make - and...

Ah...I see...sort of. A little esoteric for me. China have been bleating on about "One China" for almost a quarter of a century. I didn't realize it was still news. Old article from a gossip and clickbait site? Is this part of the joke- a run-on gag? It wasn't that long ago that AMD's Mark...
