SJW garbage? Wow. I would refrain from hypocrite comments like that, especially when you delete defending comments but keep the accusing ones.

People have biased opinions when they get free stuff before it's released. I see it all the time on junior bloggers and tech journalist because they don't have an experienced editor behind them to correct and control their biases.

I know. I just pointing it out. ;)
It's not a paper launch. The cards are in stock right now at multiple etailers with 1-2 shipping days and are not sold out yet.
Ryan Smith, agrees...
I'm pretty sure that's because AMD hasn't finalised optimizing the gaming drivers, thus performance is looking really bad vs the competition and the card would be getting bad press. Or the stock is very low and they don't need reviews out yet because the cards will be sold out soon.
It seems that Vega FE is cheaper than believed. -$999/1499.

Vega FE comes with multiple driver options.

DP ratio is 1/16.
Typical Board Power (not to be confused with TDP) is <300W.
Memory type: HBC (High Bandwidth Cache, not HBM2).

Because it only uses 2 memory dies, thus smaller interposer.
Old news. It got posted multiple times and this was the topic of discussion for the last 3-4 pages. :)
FirePro is dead. It got killed in July 2016. PRO is the new brand segmentation for workstation cards.
RX - Gaming
PRO (WX) - Workstation
INSTINCT (MI) - Deep learning & data centre
This is the current product segmentation.
Frontier Edition is a PRO (but not a WX, with partial certification)...
Or AMD could be using TSMC for future console SoCs or Navi.
Later edit: I don't think AMD has the resources to build Zen2 on 2 silicon architectures. I also don't think GF has the capacity to sustain IBM and AMD's Ryzen and Radeon ramp up on 7nm.
Bits And Chips realized how ridiculous their claim was that "AMD is using 99,9% of Ryzen Die" and now are readjusting their "claim" to 98% with another ridiculous explanation.
Pure BS.
This "leak" doesn't make any technical or economical sense. :rolleyes:
They kept the EPYC socket so they can achieve 18 & 24 cores on TR. But.... wait for it... they need a new platform to achieve this, segmenting the HEDT platform into regular and ULTRA HEDT, an already niche segment that...
Sorry, but that's not true. Neither IBM or GF have announced this. GF bought IBM's foundry business in 2014 and it's a part of a joint development alliance with IBM and Samsung that developed 7nm and are continuing this venture for 5nm.

There has not been any indication and I can't see it happening because Banded Kestrel is an ultra low power (4-15W) APU that uses a BGA socket (FT5), something that doesn't really have a place or a socket in a desktop platform.
I think that the Banded Kestrel is only for tablets, slim...
Possibly new Whitehaven (ThreadRipper) Engineering Samples CPUs
TR 12c/24t with a new name seems to show up with a name TR 1920. This should put a final nail in the already buried fake news coffin of the "leakded" 9 TR SKUs that even TPU said are real because AMD "announced" them. Still no...
Possibly new Raven Ridge Engineering Samples APUs
It seems the new ES have a modified code name structure. Bottom image is the "old?" decipher.

Depends and I think you already know this. If the error isn't in a critical part of CPU part, they will bin it to a lower tier by disabling 1 or 2 cores or L3 cache.
I found The Stilt's tests vs Kaby Lake (no IPC improvement vs Skylake in Cinebench). I can't seem to find the memory speed & timings.
ST - SL/KL is 8.5% faster
4/4 MT - SL/KL 6.4% faster
4/8 MT SMT - SL/KL is 1% slower
6/12 MT SMT extreme OC from above - SL-X is 4% slower.
One thing to note...
Refresher of context that is very important when I made that comment, for everyone else:
You're right. In Cinebench, in ST, Slylake is 9% faster than Ryzen, but because of better SMT the classification switches.

I can smell fake news a mile away.

Yeah, junk sites are going all the way on the fake news money grabbing strategy.
After AMD released the package shot of Vega I did the pixel counting myself using HBM2 SK Hynix dimensions as reference: 7.75 mm × 11.87 mm.
Vega (10) die size: ±489 mm², so just under 500 like Raja said.
It the VRAM is Samsung's then the measurements are not correct.
Xeon Gold 6150 (Skylake) - 18C (36T) - 2.7 Ghz/3.7Ghz (base/turbo) in 165W TDP. So it can be done.
If you'll still say that 2.7 Ghz it's not going to fly for their Extreme platform, I'm going to say 2 things:
1. The higher core count CPU always had a low clocked base compared to lower core...
Or bad news. It could be very power hungry so the system can't feed Vega 10 in crossfire.
LE: Or that Vega 10 is so successful AMD is liming OEM to just one card per system.
LE2: Or there's a bottleneck in the manufacturing (maybe low yields, maybe HBM2 shortage) that AMD is liming OEM to...
Corect. They have not announced LPU or any other improvement that Samsung has done to 14nm.
They changed the WSA to use other foundries. I think they did it as a backup in case the demand is very high and GF can't sustain it.
If they're using Samsung I'm sure they will use it for high margin...
You don't need jay's 2 cents to back up that claim. Intel's move to 14-18 cores as a last minute scramble is visible from the moon just by looking at the leaks that showed the range going up to 12-core. The multiple insiders that keep spilling the beans admitting it, that's just the cherry pick...
AMD's slide shows 75% when comparing 1600X to 7600K, much more that 45% that you said.
My link takes you to a mix workload of apps + games. Now do the same with the graph in your link and be amazed by the massive changes that are very similar to what I've said, the 1600X vs 7600K drops to a...
