    The AMD Execution Thread [2007 - 2017]

    I did wonder where did Apple get those fancy vaporware CPUs for a while. Its good that ark.intel is available to show what they currently produce or was this just another hyperfalse advertising from ever stretching blob agency Or does Apple has yet another under the desk deal (YAUDD) to pick...

    AMD: Volcanic Islands R1100/1200 (8***/9*** series) Speculation/ Rumour Thread

    And again some year later TSMc again disagrees with them selves announcing rampant 16nm FF/FF+ production http://www.cadence.com/Community/blogs/ii/archive/2013/04/14/tsmc-2013-symposium-progress-in-20nm-16nm-finfet-and-3d-ic-technologies.aspx Accordingly to TSMC we're actually see very...

    AMD: Sea Islands R1100 (8*** series) Speculation/ Rumour Thread

    You could look that way ... or you could see that is the AMD's way to maximize favorable conditions for OEM. Less routes 64 vs 128 means much smaller space needed for cramping up lot of bulk memory chips, and btw gddr5 already share x32 organization while ddr3 maximally has x16 bus width per...

    Next generations of low end graphics cards

    CapeVerde is chip made in rush to have budget offering in overpriced HD7000 series lineup so it's good considering how small it is and probably how little time they spend developing it. They probably just cut off Pitcairn in half to make it working :lol: Exact it's easier to make you upgrade...

    Next generations of low end graphics cards

    I believe that Cape Verde successor if it could be brought down to 100mm2 which would be 20% size reduction should be wisely considered as 28nm HKMG allows huge speed margins and proper redesign would allow 1250-1330MHz out of the box. One chip which wouldn't have needs for its salvage...

    Next generations of low end graphics cards

    I count agree more with you there but it seems that DAMN never consider its 239USD part (on release, iirc) to be a top-notch just upper-mainstream card. And HD4890 great performance comparing it to HD5000/HD6000 parts certainly didnt play well for AMD to feel warmth around their heart with their...

    AMD: Southern Islands (7*** series) Speculation/ Rumour Thread

    I think bus width aint speculation at all, since if it should be released under 7800 series branding thus equivocally means 256-bit bus :wink: No one would introduce premium 384b card when series came to end of its lifespan. It will also serve them well in $250USD range where 384bit card is just...

    Haswell vs Kaveri

    AMD at least wished for it but as GCN is executes much better than VLIW4, when it comes to graphics, they could stick with same number of VLIW4 cores used in Trinity and still gain 20% at the same GPU frequency. Their GPU in APU already is sharing 128b DDR3 IMC with dual-module CPU which...

    Haswell vs Kaveri

    LOL ... right youre on mockup to Pentium4 path :roll: But concept was good ... In those days when no one really know or care about performance per watt you could sell any crap and covice people that theyre buying great stuff with "Intel inside" all they'd need now is 1500W PSU :rofl: Pure...

    Haswell vs Kaveri

    NVT is a "beneficial inherited" side effect of Intels 22nm silicon process khm. Triple Gate Implementation. Not impurities itself or otherwise it would be presented much earlier. They just explore what could now benefit because no one still implemented TG and its not so beneficial for...

    Haswell vs Kaveri

    It's nice conceptual babble but this thing can only be used in processors for which performance doesnt matter but extremely high battery life is higly appreciated ... so its for Atom. It's not for performance wise desktop CPU, and i'm seriously guesstimating that even ultrabooks based on dual...

    AMD: Sea Islands R1100 (8*** series) Speculation/ Rumour Thread

    I was clear enough with thought that NV40 thru GT200 was evolutionary when it comes to front-end evolution and unified shaders were redesigned to fit that front end, as it was necessary for dx10 support. While Fermi was build from scrap with both front end being totally redesigned no more HS/DS...

    Next generations of low end graphics cards

    nVidia dropped its support since yesterday http://www.anandtech.com/show/6408/nvidia-releases-31033-beta-drivers-geforce-6-7-series-moved-to-legacy-status Thou those old cards including ATi counterparts don't get any improvements for years. Even when it comes to UVD if there could be any...

    NVIDIA Kepler speculation thread

    I quote you about GTX650Ti being only 128bit and its marketing position its more than evident if you try and read. And when its about Cray they never stated they use GK110 but it could be concluded from "Peak performance: 100+ Tflops per system cabinet -- NVIDIA® Tesla® K20 GPU Accelerators...
