Interesting. I am the first to admit I know more or less nothing when it comes to the intricacies of chip design, but if I read what you are saying correctly, then having less SP would decrease the need of memory speed? Has the need of a wide memory bus more to do with the number of SPs/CCs, or...
When applying logic to the relationship between Hawaii and Polaris it is so hard not to become a believer, but I don't think anyone is better off if people were to start drumming up expectations.
I think you are right, though. If "all" AMD wanted was to achieve 290x performance at a far better...
I do wonder how a 4C8T Zen APU with Polaris grafics and 8GB HBM2 would stack up. Put an SSD where RAM would have been and we have a 1 card computer with some grunt.

This is simply a matter of reversed causality. We exist in the only universe that could produce us, the universe does not exist simply to create us. Anyone thinking otherwise grossly overstate the importance of humanity in the grand scheme of things.

You are correct, had AMD been operating in a market without competition for some time, they would probably set prices closer to that of the more capabale cards. But slated for introduction in the same time frame as P10 is GTX1070, which, based on the 2 last generations of mid range cards, should...
Given the picture painted by rumours at this point, if you are in it for screaming performance, that seems to be the rational way forward, as I don't expect AMD to compete in that segment until Vega. I would have to add, though, that I also expect to be able to by 2 Polaris cards for the same...
Thats allright. I can't tell you what to do with your hard earned cash and I can certainly not speak for every 290 owner out there, but I'd say that chances are that if one is still using a 290 that is because there is simply nothing worth while to upgrade to. And if nV does as nV has done in...
After reading about this "incremtental step up". Does anyone else get the feeling that Polaris is the safe product? That it is basically Hawaii, a well known chip that has served them well for a long time, for 14nm with some low hanging fruit mixed in. Or if not low hanging, the fruit they had...
