Noted, my mistake.

Where are you getting your numbers from, 360mm2? TSMC is stating a 1.6x scaling factor for 7nm from 16nm. So VEGA 10 at 510mm2 scales down to 318mm2 on 7nm. 360mm2 would only be a 10-15% increase in die size & transistor count. Note that 7nm isn't a true measurement. It's just a name for...

Is there any chance that NAVI is being delayed, so AMD can add hardware ray-tracing support?

Please correct me if I am wrong. My understanding of the GF 12nm process is just a rebranding of the 14nm+ process. This includes just tighter design rules and new constructs, not any different fab equipment. So there is no retooling downtime at the fab. AMD would need to make new masks and...

How does that jibe with cryptomining supposedly voiding warranties?

You'd still complain about the numbers due to the fact that the survey was opt-in. :rolleyes:

So you are suggesting: Some random number anomaly that massively underpicks AMD systems EVERY single month AMD users are some 20x more likely to not respond to the survey as Nvidia users EVERY single month Steam is purposely under reporting the numbers for AMD systems Statistics are a well...

I had a look at the November numbers for the current generation products: 1060 13.41% 1050 Ti 9.90% 1050 4.40% 1070 1.57% 1080 0.81% 1080 Ti 0.34% RX 460 0.34% RX 480 0.29% Nvidia share: 30.43% AMD share: 0.63% So for the computers that Steam surveys, Nvidia is...

ASUS seems to be selling the rebranded 560 as well. The 896 card is listed on Amazon. ROG-STRIX-RX560-O4G-EVO-GAMING - 896 streams ROG-STRIX-RX560-O4G-GAMING - 1024 streams Back in July, there was news of the 560D, which was a rebranded 460 with a BIOS update for the crypto mining market...

A couple of things to think about (assuming AMD is capacity limited): AMD priced Ryzen slightly under Intel chips at the start. Since then, AMD cut prices both in June and October. Why cut prices when you are already selling everything you can make? Chips take about 6 months from starting the...

Exactly. I should have added that, Last year, for the Wafer Supply Agreement, AMD specifically negotiated the ability to outsource wafers at TSMC and other fabs. AMD anticipated the possibility of being capacity limited, and worked out a solution in 2016. 3Q revenues were up 25% year over...

There is a rumor that AMD is capacity limited and is choosing which products to allocate wafers to. Right now it should be clear that AMD is making more profit on Ryzen, Epyc server chips and Ryzen Mobile. These products look to be strongly increasing in volume over the next six months. So if...

Sorry, not my intentions. And thanks for for the Brocade reference.

I asked for an example where (your words) "court order to cease said product/services/concept against the new company to begin with..." I do not see any such example.
