1.3 was PUBLICLY released this week. Select game developers have had it much longer under NDA. Elite Dangerous was even updated to SDK 1.3 last week in preparation for the Rift's launch. Oculus launch titles are all 1.3 as far as I know
The chance of that happening is zero.
IBM just paid GF to take their fab business. If they had a disruptive litho technology like that they wouldn't have simply given it away.
I don't see anything in this statement that disapproves that. It's obviously talking about exynos and snapdragon.
Obviously Samsung couldn't make a big PR announcement about chips for Apple, but they are still going to make a big deal out of their own chips.
This has been heavily discussed but I'm of the opinion that CPU bottlenecks are much worse than GPU bottlenecks in real life scenarios. I accept that many gamers are GPU limited, and that's a good thing.
A GPU bottleneck causing unusable FPS can be fixed easily by changing resolution/detail...
I was poking fun before, but since you persist here is a serious reply. your assessment shows a lack of understanding. Intel has maintained the $1000 price point for well over a decade with their extreme editions, Intel even sold $1k P4 EE against AMDs best chips.
Also, Intel is well known...
let me try to follow your logic.
5960x is overpriced. AMD is currently competing in the market. thus AMD doesn't stop Intel from overpricing.
Thanks, got it.
That still doesn't explain how creating a new AMD subforum would prohibit people from making those comments.
Advocating to delete comments that aren't "objective opinions" is a separate issue from creating a new subforum.
a thin 15W chassis can't support a 35W turbo. AMD spent years stuck competing against modern and thin Intel ULV designs with 35W chips. With Carrizo AMD finally has a real ULV chip, but with the accompanying performance drop. Going back to thick 35W designs isn't a magic solution. It will put...
Basilisk is definitively not a real product. It only appeared on fake slides that weren't made by AMD.
It's also a perfect example of how (un)trustworthy these copy-paste tech sites are. Google it and see all the hits for something that never even existed.
Edit: And we still see those...
it's interesting watching these rumors develop. first there was the suggestion that HBM could be used for APUs, then it definitely coming eventually, now it's going to be on Raven ridge? quite an escalation.
As far as I know HBM is a graphics only product and can not replace main system...
This is an entirely inappropriate post.
Did you even click the link in the OP? The single game benchmark that the OP included was actually fairly middle of pack. If he had chosen a newer AAA, like GTA5, the FX would have been shown in an even worse light.
Plus, the OPs comments echoed the...
I'm convinced juanrga is stuck in a feedback loop but doesnt realize it.
Several times he's made speculation about zen and within a few days that same information appears on one of the several copy-paste tech news site.
Rather than realizing those sites are just plagiarizing his forum posts...
GMs primary problem was market share loss. But only because It had massive fixed legacy costs, but faced declining market share. It was forced to close dealers and discontinue brands as it simply no longer had the volume to support them.( This was true of ford and Chrysler as well)
A main...
Absolutely not.
Its clear that Bristol Ridge is AMD's 2016 APU and is still 28nm.

I'm sorry but if you think a secret conspiracy between Intel and OEM is in line with Occam's razer, you're completely misapplying it.
If we accept Occam's Razer, that the simplier answer is the better answer, we can conclude that OEMs don't prioritize AMD laptops because consumers don't...
Ideas are not a form of property. Property is a system designed to resolve disputes over scarce goods. An idea is not scarce because the same thought can exist in an infinite number of brains at the same time. Thus there is no potential for conflict. Contrast that with a piece of physical...
More accurately many of them simply realize that patents are, at best, out dated relics of the early industrial age. Very few people disagree with patents due to deep rooted political-economic ideals.
In reality, patents are a form of government intervention designed to artificially strengthen...
That's not different. The iphone 6s and 6s Plus both offers 16GB as base.
The 256GB SSD is currently a $200 upgrade, so my answer would be that the 256GB SSD gets to take over as the base when Apple is able to charge $200 to upgrade it to 512GB.
That's missing the point. Its Apple deliberately sabotaging the base model in order to encourage people to up spend on storage options.
Apple is doing the same thing with the 6/6s. They upgraded the 2nd tier to 64gigs but kept the base at 16gig. If the base was 32gig that would plenty for...
They don't need to get Core prices on phones.
Core sales into phone won't (directly) effect the pricing on PC chips. So they can price phone versions lower. Even if they sell Phone versions at reduced margins versus PC versions, its still a net benefit.
Continuously has nothing to do with it. The test showed, and Apple has just admitted, that the Samsung SOC draws more power than TSMC at peak performance. Apple's point was that the SOC is at peak usage for only a small percentage of the day so total battery life is barelly effected. Plus the...
Right, but its conceivable that for some people, who's "normal use" includes more demanding CPU usage, the difference will be higher than 2-3%. We'll have to wait and see.
edit: The question is how many people fall outside "normal use".
I disagree. Apple admitted that the results were genuine. They then went on to say the test isn't representative of real usage.
But the difference might be significant for someone who isn't the 'typical' user.
I agree that we can not predict how zen will perform based on it.
And that ties in with my point. We can talk all day about what has happened to other companies and what is possible: Anything is possible.
But what's more interesting to me is what is likely to happen. If Zen performs so well...
I hate to get entangled in this but...
AMD is not a small, agile start up breaking into an entrenched market with complacent players.
Its one of those established players in decline. Everything has shrunk for AMD : Market share, revenue, workforce. It is more like GM than it is like Tesla...
Interesting. I've been interested in how Apple was going to dual source SOC.
They could have the foundries fab SOCs for different products(eg 6s vs 6s+) but then they wouldn't have flexibility to change the product mix.
Or they could put different chips into the same product, which is what...
Its the node, but its not limited to GF. No fab offers a 4+ghz process, outside of Intel.
AMD doesnt have access to higher clocking process than 32nm, and won't anytime soon. This explains AMDs need for a new arch, Zen. Zen will grow performance through IPC increase, because clocks wont...
