Where were the transistor and die sizes confirmed? All I saw was that post on Chiphell and that's about it And all this GK110 take makes my head hurt. So much speculation about this unicorn chip that has few confirmed details

Yeah it'll be my choice of GPU once they come out for the Sager/Clevos

It should be 2x GF114's:

To add to the untruth, Anandtech wrote that AMD found that on average, their shaders were being utilized 3.4/5 times AMD could not have known this til after a few years seeing where development had gone, so most likely early in the Cypress lifetime

Cayman Slide Deck - PDF Enjoy

Maybe not adjust then, but it monitors:

It adjusts each clock cycle

They already have a larger market share - in fact, if they even sold DX11 cards at a 2:1 ratio to Nvidia, they'd still lose market share. And the margin game doesn't help AMD, esp. since Nvidia can sell cards to the HPC / pro market at a high margin

Amazing that naked pics only show up with 2 days left... must be some kind of record for how late these showed up

Thanks for the info. Been a long time since I got to play with architecture stuff since I've been out of EE for a while :razz: Good catch on clocks. I'd love to see the Perlin Noise figures after a few rounds of drivers/optimizations... would be interesting to see where the gap is coming from...

Even if it's a 25% boost for 2GB as in that review, it'd still trail 23 to 14-15 Anywho I wrote this piece as my theory for why all the reviews are all over the place. This is my own speculation based on the #'s. Cayman is really interesting the more that I delve into it:

~10fps for the 5870 and ~23 FPS for the 6970 if I'm reading that correctly

I think that's the best explanation for why 3dMark scores and other optimized-for-VLIW-5 games are underwhelming, but in other things 6970 seems to beat the 5870 resoundingly (stalker for one)

http://h-5.abload.de/img/69704mxh.jpg 3dMark feature test scores 1680x1050 Interestingly, the 6970 loses significantly in Perlin Noise but beats it / edges it at everything else What can we extrapolate from that? Also, is that device ID correct?
