Tsmc will be only manufacturer for iPhone 7
Even if you had multiple reviews..there is still variation in silicon which is not accounted for. You'll probably need a sample size of a few dozen of each to draw any sort of conclusion
Yep..that's the rumour so far..and extending all the way to 7nm apparently.
Looks like they copied the playbook of the 480 4GB which has slower memory than the 8GB. In a way, both AMD and Nvidia will strengthen the already common perception that more memory equals better performance.
Yum! I love me some all other things equal comparison!
And increased bargaining power with TSMC. I'm not convinced at all that Apple has first dibs on TSMC wafer capacity. It would be a very short-sighted way to run a business.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Mobility GPU Pictured – First Notebook Chip With GDDR5X Memory, 20% Faster Than The Original Titan X

Only for very custom Notebooks though. Non-MMX edit: MXM-board required.
And, according to one of the pictures there:

Maybe someone should tell the mobility division that:
a) a graphics card aka SKU is not a GPU and
b) GP102 is available.

In reality, they dont "copy" it, as it is implemented in collaboration with Samsung ( Glofo and Samsung have a colllaboration deal for FF ), if something went wrong in Glofo, knowing that engineer of Samsung are deeply involved in it, it should be fixable.
Is that the exact wording of the contract? This should be gospel and taken for granted at all costs. Always. So say we all.

Actually AMD's specs for both the 4 GB and 8 GB cards just call for a minimum of 7 Gbps. However from what I can gather, the reference 8 GB cards sent to reviewers by AMD did indeed have 8 Gbps memory. Slightly lower memory bandwidth is not as bad as a cut down GPU like NV is doing, but I don't like it either. That perception is why I was half expecting a 4GB 128 bit part instead.
You mean I cant use it with my 166 Mhz Pentium???
Read again, you can't use it with any mode modern CPU, you HAVE TO use that 166 MHz Pentium without MMX, or even older!You mean I cant use it with my 166 Mhz Pentium???
Yes. But when AMD sends out 480 4GB configurations with 7Gbps, that's obviously how they want to position that particular GPU: one where less memory is also inherently slower.
That's just a short term work-around to fix a logistics issue. In 4GB mode, they were still clocked at 7Gbps.
Yes.
Actually AMD specifies 4GB's at 7 Gbps and 8GB's at 8 Gbps, but notes that AIBs could use different clocks. It's in the RX 480 launch slides

Yes, understood. And they set the dial to 7Gbps for the reviewers. Meaning: this is how they prefer it to be reviewed.
That would be the logical conclusion..but 3 out of 4 RX480 4GB cards listed on Newegg have 8Gbps memory so who knows what AMD is really thinking ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -

Like I said..AMD specifies the minimum speed at 7 Gbps. Partners are free to use 8 Gbps if they want to.

Interesting that Nvidia chose not to lower the TDPs with the benefits of 16nm and possibly even increased the TDPs. Unsurprisingly, there is a significant increase in performance compared to the equivalent Maxwell parts (Though with the GTX1060M, we should compare it to the GM206 based 965M and not the GM107 based 960M). That additional performance dosen't come for free though..NV says they expect prices to start at $1300. A bit expensive compared to current 965M laptops which start at about ~$950. Either ways..these GPUs will still be niche products..the real volume will be with GP107 and GP108.
I am a bit surprised that all the announced notebooks still seem to be using Skylake though. Maybe Kaby Lake still isnt ready to ship.

If we follow the old adage, wider and slower is more power efficient than narrower and faster. The 1070 was cut down a bit more than expected with only 15 out of 20 SMs enabled (75%) compared to the GTX 970 with 13 out of 16 SMs (82% but with only 88% the ROPs). Of course GM204 was released on a very mature 28nm process so it could simply be due to lower 16nm yields at this point. I expect we might see a 16 SM GTX 1070/1075 refresh at some point in the future.
