Haswell vs Kaveri

Even lower GPU clock frequencies? 2x the performance of IVB GT2 is surreal. CPU-world told 50-100%, let's say 75% average. I bet this applies to 47/57W variants. I guess we won't see more than +50% average for a 15W GT3 version. Broadwell in 14nm should give them much more room regarding power and also important die size.

 

It was worded bad, but he intended that when run with low settings that are in the range of ivy bridge, it consumes half the power compared to ib

 

Some more info about Haswell, from Anandtech

 

half the power for same performance, that is, or same power for twice the performance

Haswell GT3 runs Skyrim in 1920x1080 High details whereas Ivy Bridge GT2 just in 1366x768 medium details.

 

Is that a mobile CPU?
Well, I'm finally considering getting a laptop without discrete GPU.
I hope Kaveri narrows the CPU gap and widens the GPU one, that would be even more awesome.

 

Mobile for sure because GT3 is mobile only.

 

It does look light the GT3 is struggling a bit in the video though.

 

From ExtremeTech: "AMD executives have forgotten how to run a company."

 

A 28 nm chip against a 14 nm chip? WTH...

 

It could even run it 60fps, but still I don't trust intel's drivers and long term support

 

From the Anandtech article, it looks like Haswell has a much smaller jump in performance in mobile applications, or at least on battery power - I hope. The bigger jump is on desktop. Interesting, since I would expect that more desktops have discrete GPUs.

 

On the contrary, it's only mobile SKUs that are getting the GT3 IGP configuration. That comparison is probably for the ULV range (10-15W) vs laptop range (35W-55W). They're probably just hitting the walls of their space/performance trade-off in the lower voltages/frequencies.

 

Jesus, is AMD ever going to deliver anything more than a minor refresh on time?

 

Haswell vs Piledriver and Broadwell vs Kaveri then or what? That's not looking good for AMD.

 

Piledriver is CPU codename, not APU codename.
If Kaveri gets pushed back, it would be Trinity vs Haswell.

 

And according to the link, it is Richland, not Kaveri. What's the difference?
And btw, Vishera are the last true CPUs from AMD, everything beyond should have APU nature...

 

For what I've understood, "Richland" is Trinity with new chipset, Bolton, while Trinity uses Hudson
