So is there going to be immediate reportage of this event on 16th or will it be NDA till later?

 

Live stream so I would guess immediate?

 

Yeah I got that message, but M370X spanks M275 by the biggest margin in Bioshock Infinite and the second biggest spanking is in Thief, which aligns with Tonga doing surprisingly well against Tahiti in those two games.

Though the metro last light gains are ho-hum, but who cares, we have the possibility of GCN4 on our hands.

 

Oh a public stream? Got link?

ok thanks

 

You can too register here normally for the live event, or if you are living close to California for reserve a seat at the Belasco theater http://www.amd.com/en-us/products/g...ostID=f1800273242f50a68d01f5b905a42af4#signup

( Well its the mail i have got, but i dont think the link is protected so it should work for anyone)

 

Well, so much for HBM being in mass production since Q3 2014 because it was in a data book: http://videocardz.com/56492/skhynix-confirms-radeon-r9-fury-x-to-use-hbm1

Up to 85% power reduction on the GPU MC seems really high. Maybe not for the highest performance modes?

 

Maybe it's just for situations where little bandwidth is actually required and the HBM is mostly idle, which should happen more often on Fiji than on Hawaii, with 60% more bandwidth for about 45% more computing power.

 

Personally I have no idea when it was in mass production, but to be fair that does not state when mass production started, just that mass production units are shipping. It doesn't even state when they started shipping, just that they are announcing today that they are shipping.

 

For those who don't want to suffer through the whole press conference: the slides.

I'm totally excited about the R9 390 being 100% faster than the GTX 660Ti!

Alas, no extra information about Fiji...

 

Sure: it must have started at least a month or two ago in order to flood the market with Fiji GPUs next week.

 

What's the turnaround time on 20nm wafer? That is the absolute gate for mass production starting. Additionally a component like this is likely to start of ahead of the component that is using it.

 

The 3xx series ushers in a new era? AMD's marketing team had a twisted sense of humor.

 

Oh God this conference is boring.

 

Ok, just got a bit more interesting....

EDIT: Thank God for Lisa

EDIT 2: 2 *times* not 2*ex* !

 

Nano nano.

 

AMD saying R9 Nano will bring 290X level performance with half the power consumption.

 

8900 million transistors.
