Vega marketing was very detached from the harsh reality.At least AMD disagreed when they unveiled Vega
I remember looking at a benchmark where Vega 10 was compared to Fiji at similar clocks and b/w and was loosing.At least AMD disagreed when they unveiled Vega

This is the best example of quality marketing of Raja's era.At least AMD disagreed when they unveiled Vega

Since this refers to rapid packed math, one could argue, that the number of instructions are the same, just not the number of data/threads.At least AMD disagreed when they unveiled Vega

Couple other interesting points from Hot Chips presentation:
* "CUs have 25% better perf/clock compared to last gen" - that's compared to GCN so doesn't look like there will be anything more than a single digit perf/clock gain between RDNA1 and 2.
* VRS (tier 2) support is limited to 2x2 coarse shading. Turing supports up to 4x4.
If only you could believe how well N22/23 duo and Smartshift V2 are received along laptop OEMs.It should bode well for consumer GPU's as I thought the initial Navi products were a little too power hungry.
Hopefully not.I think the biggest gains in RDNA2 are in the performance/watt metric.
Oh no, they're all speed daemons.All those +50% efficiency metrics most often come from wider chips working at lower clocks and voltages
And that's why you will never see those +50% efficiency gains in practice.Oh no, they're all speed daemons.
That's exactly what you're getting.Real efficiency gains at F max, ISO process and chip config will be much less than advertised 50%.
For RDNA1/Navi10 that +50% perf/watt was if anything under estimated number (it was based on Division 2 @ 1440p Ultra, just like RDNA2's claimed +50% is)Hopefully not.
All those +50% efficiency metrics most often come from wider chips working at lower clocks and voltages. In the best case, there are annotations mentioning "iso level of performance", in the worst case there is hype / foolishly optimistic projections and disappointment once final products hit shelves.
Yeah, same as AMD IPC numbers for Zen iterations.For RDNA1/Navi10 that +50% perf/watt was if anything under estimated number (it was based on Division 2 @ 1440p Ultra, just like RDNA2's claimed +50% is)
Looks pretty close to actual according to this: https://tpucdn.com/review/amd-radeon-rx-5700-xt/images/performance-per-watt_2560-1440.pngFor RDNA1/Navi10 that +50% perf/watt was if anything under estimated number (it was based on Division 2 @ 1440p Ultra, just like RDNA2's claimed +50% is)
Well, I would say 58% is quite a bit more than 50% already. Computerbase has 5700 XT offering ~63% better perf/watt than Vega 64 https://www.computerbase.de/2019-07...st/3/#diagramm-performance-pro-watt-2560-1440Looks pretty close to actual according to this: https://tpucdn.com/review/amd-radeon-rx-5700-xt/images/performance-per-watt_2560-1440.png
Right, and just +40% against Vega 56. Which is what OlegSH is saying.Computerbase has 5700 XT offering ~63% better perf/watt than Vega 64
The claim was never against Vega 56, and we do see in practice those claims on the cards AMD made the claim on and opposed to his post, Navi 10 is thinner and higher clocks than Vega 64Right, and just +40% against Vega 56. Which is what OlegSH is saying.
We're comparing fmax part to fmax part here, laddo.Right, and just +40% against Vega 56
