Even SB and IB CPU's benefit massively from increased bandwidth on newer games.

you gain the same performance from upping memory speeds as you do from OCing the processor in several cases...
It drew over 75watts from the motherboard, because it was drawing over 160 watts in the first place.
You aren't even making any sense anyway. I'm very interested in numbers, numbers that are real and measured. Since when has what afterburner reports been taken as real measured numbers...
right, so I'm BSing because I wont buy a 480 to test myself, when there are tons of reviews on the internet showing Polaris 10's power draw to be north of 160w, to the point that AMD had to publicly address it. But apparently that's not proof, and some Youtube videos of Afterburner readings...
Why would I do that when all of the sites that have measured 480s from the wall have it drawing north of 160w? To the point that AMD had to release drivers to correct it? Suddenly an Afterburner TDP reading is proof to the contrary? What is wrong with you people?

Here's anands own take on it. There is not even that much power usage to save. if HBM2 used 0 power, it would drop polars TDP by about 30w. 8% more than HBM1 = not a significant amount of power savings.
Like I said, roughly 15-17...
110w? lol. The 480 pulls north of 160w at stock speeds. HBM2 would save, at most, 15w off of that. A 1080 is around 1.8x faster than a 480 and a GP102 is 2.3x or so faster. You do the math.
If AMD pulls magic out of a hat, they'll have a GP102 competitor with about a 300w TDP. Vega was...
