What time was that? I'm not exactly young myself and I distinctly remember pretty pathetic performance upgrades in the past. What you usually got was a 100MHz clock bump and 0 IPC increase.
I'll repeat again, Azor took a bet it wont be a paper launch. That's all. Hard launch does not mean sufficient volume for everyone. That's putting words into his mouth.
Frank Azor saying it wont be a paper launch and WCCFT interpreting that as infinite supply... Not a paper launch and infinite supply are two very different things.
He is literally just commenting the coreteks leak. But yeah now that infinity cache is confirmed it's quite obvious they wont need HBM nor a wider bus.
They sure set the bar low cheaping out on 7nm. Everyone at AMD is probably grinning from ear to ear right now. 1st Intel and the 10nm debacle now Nvidia with Fermi v2 on 8nm. Mobile is going to be an absolute massacre for Nvidia.
Nvidias marketing is probably just behind Apples in brainwashing power. Some people actually believe Nvidia more than independent benchmarks. They are still quoting ridiculous performance and perf/W claims from marketing slides that were proven to be complete horse*. It's quite mind boggling.
