AMD: R9xx Speculation
- Thread starter Lukfi
- Start date
Well well, where have we seen dates as Quarters before?
Antilles seems to be already out of schedulle, as their powerpoints said it was December. And Q1 can be anywhere from January to March...
Cayman Q4 2010... Not very specific...
Will we see AMD's "Fermi"?
Lol okay? They often keep release dates under NDA as well
Wasn't Barts release date confirmed til a few days before? Barts was labeled H2 2010
You're grasping at straws right now
Do you want to say Anand may measure something not representative of the actual game?
That is normally done in the hull shader and it wouldn't make much sense to skip it as it shouldn't be terrible time consuming. By the way, that would fall roughly in the same category as:
He's right. I was watching the webcast and when the speaker (I think it was Rick Bergman) mentioned that it was a Bulldozer+Cayman rig, I got all excited. Then he showed a freaking HD video.
I mean the point was obviously to show that BD and Cayman are both up and running while not giving anything more away, but still…

Even Charlie seems to be not even semi-sure about what exactly Cayman is. However given this VLIW 4 or 5 debacle which has distracted everyone, I blame Dave. I always blame Dave for these kinds of shenanigans. You should blame Dave too, because its good to blame the most public and high profile AMD representative you have. Blame is a very good way of dealing with disapointment I find.
I suspect the reason why is because dual Barts is probably faster than single Cayman and it would confuse their product lineup to have an 890 series product faster than 950 or 970 series product. Also they probably don't need to. Cayman is likely faster than GTX 580 by a small margin at least.
Dont think so, even if by some miracle TSMC will have live 28nm production line in Q1 2011, its capacity will be low, hence unusable for the mass production chips.

Ye sorry, the 6950/70
We have an insider working for AMD on these forums. How can we have an effective intelligence community when there are people working for the enemy who post here?
Looks like 6970 is closer to 5970 than 5870 and 6950 is about 10-20% faster than 5870. All taking as reference the placement of 6870, since its slotted nicely between the 5850 & 5870 and 6850 is slower than the 5850, both are fairly accurate conclusions.
Just trying to keep Mize entertained.

That depends on what "addresses" means. A dual-socket board with 2 GB of memory at 256 GB/s, coupled to 670 mm^2 of GPU silicon running at 4.64 TFlop/s should theoretically be destroying the GTX580, yet somehow the GTX580 manages to compete with the 5970 despite having 75% of the memory bandwidth, 78% of the die area, and 34% of the flops.
The 5970 was a halo part which was chronically hard to find and overpriced - not surprising since it was so expensive to produce. It is surprising, though, that anyone would praise a card which makes GTX480 look like an efficient use of silicon.
Luckily, AMD is not relying on 5970 to address the 580....
Pretty terrible comparison
1) You can't add silicon sizes and say that they should perform equivalently. Two ~330mm^2 dies are easier to produce than one > 500 mm^2 - yields do not scale linearly with size, they change exponentially. Thus one can see 2 x 330mm^2 dies yielding better overall than one 520mm^2 depending on design
2) Flops are another terrible way to compare performance across different architectures from the same company, let alone from different companies
3) Dual GPU bandwidth is hardly calculated that way and again cannot be added together
Of course, you managed to forget the fact that the 5970 also consumes less power than the 480, and in some reviews still less than the 580, despite offering more or roughly the same performance while having to deal with CF issues, while also being released a year earlier
So you managed make a comparison with totally asinine arguments. Congrats
Do you have any dates to share?
