Lisa Su at Technology Leaders a week ago actually made reference to yield issues.
I own a reference rx480. Bought it out of curiosity rather than need, after running Tahiti GPUs for over four years. Let me start out by saying...
Fab business is about much more than the electronic performance of your lithographic process. Intel has had a foundry branch for some time, and it...
That's not what I'm seeing. Well, yes, their absence, but I see it in their wait and see attitude. How long does it take to see if a console is a...
Although this may be inappropriate for this thread, I have to ask if you have any opinion on just how common code that ran at peak fp rate was on...
If the dev kits use fan cooled Tegra X1, where is the outlandish performance claim? That constitutes a rather narrow performance band, and the...
The thing is that 16FF isn't a significantly more complex process than 20nm planar, which already took the multiple patterning hit, plus the...
I question the statement about 20nm being a fair bit cheaper than the FinFet variant. All the calculations I've seen seem to base that on lower...
Judging from Polaris, we might see a reveal at the end of October, a presentation the week before Black Friday, a dribble in the beginning of...
Actually, when Lisa Su was asked at the technology leadership conference not quite a week ago (which I assume you're referring to), if we can...
In my country, the XBox1 has sold for less than that bundled with FIFA at major outlets. It still doesn't move. Discussing the relative positions...
Errr... Is Polaris 11 primarily a desktop product at all? I always perceived it to be meant to be an inexpensive laptop graphics chip, the next...
Both the new cards have half the bus width of the previous generation products in your example. So there are significant increases in perf/GBps...
A third differentiator vs. streaming games from mobile is latency of controls. Also, note that the full capabilities of the device can be...
Price is indeed the big question mark. Nintendos Supplementary Computing Device patent and nVidias solution in the drive PX2 seem very close to...
My somewhat tongue in cheek point was that the age of a CPU architecture says very little. A myriad of implementation details and process...
TSMC 16nm FFC or FF+ should both work out nicely. As liolio reinforced, ultimately it comes down to cost. It may be that it is ultimately cheaper...
And x86 goes back to....? ;)
Don't find datasheets for the new stuff. But as Blaskowitz posted above, their Game Machine XtraROM has a 32bit interface. For comparison, basic...
Macronix have been able to deliver 8GB cartridges for the 3DS. These are produced on 75nm lithography. They have recently upgraded their...
For those who question why Nintendo may be justified in not simply making another "me too" console. From Rangers in the NPD thread (3ds numbers...
32GB of compressed assets can't look good on TV?!? Yeah. Right. Besides, where is the source for this 32GB hard limit rumour?
Some people seem to want to be upset. Of course a subset of those are likely to receive compensation for that..,
So don't be competitive. Just enjoy having an extra excuse for going out.
I don't see what you mean really. The power draw from the motherboard and the molex is PCB design, unrelated to the manufacturing process of the...
If so, can you please consider discussing it in the industry section of the forum, rather than in the fused Vega/Polaris thread?
OK. I'll try. The power draw aspects have nothing to do with the Polaris architecture, nor even with it's embodiment in the current revision of...
May I suggest that the power draw alarmists are shunted off to their own thread?
In all likelyhood it was a mistake/bug. As has been pointed out repeatedly, AMDs other cards do not show this behaviour. They are fixing it now...
I think the PCPer investigation pretty much conclusively shows what is going on. The card demonstrates an anomalous behaviour in how it draws...
It's a question of performance distribution of chips/boards/client envrionments + margins. I would guess that dropping voltages by 10% and power...
Regarding power draw (and speculations about process tech, I guess) the Computerbase undervolting experiment may be interesting to some. I get the...
It could be a polaris 10 with less (no) turned off functional units, or it could be Vega products. All this says is that there will be higher end...
:smile2: Fair enough. I think AMD had slightly too long between reveal and reviews, and that they missed an opportunity to for instance have an...
Not to mention that when you compare to AMD 390x, the rx480 is a bit ahead in three, a bit behind in two, and roughly equal in two subtests, so an...
They haven't mentioned porting their IP to competing consoles. For as long as they make dedicated hardware themselves, it doesn't make much sense....
Well, they have been rather clear in their investor conference calls. At present they are still working the console angle, and it seems that rhey...
There are benefits to being a platform holder, provided the volumes aren't too small. Nintendo has been quite clear that their contingency plan is...
Indeed. I had it and the 40nm HD4770 performed admirably compared to the 55nm HD4870 it replaced at far lower power draw and noise. Polaris 10...
They are. Nintendo has started shifting production to mobile platforms in order to have the largest possible adressable market.
Regardless, I have to try this when I can get my hands on it. I've got a friend close by that has a Vive. If I don't experience motion...
AMD haven't said diddly squat about temperatures as far as I know. Why should they, it is not a consumer parameter like performance or noise (and...
Played it to finish, and enjoyed the heck out of it. Haven't wanted to read threads about the game until I finished it. Played it like a noob - no...
Is it Overwatch with gore? Strong hints of hero shooter. Will there be ability neutral game modes? (I hope it simply doesn't have...
Console vs. PC value wars in a B3D architecture thread? We clearly need some new data or solid leaks.
Much as people like to ridicule AMD narketing, I have to say that they managed to reveal just enough information to get everyone with an active...
I may not understand you fully, but are you talking about 32-bit operations on 16-bit operands producing differences in results outside what would...
Higher than what? It uses the same GDDR5 as the GTX1070. We just don't know the power draw under various conditions until actually tested. Simply...
Rx480 has a single six-pin molex, so 150W is the maximum that can be delivered to the card. You can safely assume that actual in-use power draw is...
Exactly, we don't have any information about architectural developments, apart from that slide that showed which functional blocks had been...
