Because it is ONE benchmark where Fiji already does quite well (so its bottlenecks are not affecting it so much, where other architectures's bottlenecks can affect them, i.e. if there is a memory bandwidth bottleneck in an application you will have lower gains going from Fiji to Vega, if at all, where if the shader or polygon throughput is the bottleneck you'll see probably larger gains, due mainly to clock speed increse I'm afraid)
Yes it's only one benchmark, but it's one chosen by AMD themselves. Unless their marketing department is incompetent or sandbagging, they wouldn't pick one where Vega potentially suffers from bottlenecks compared to Fiji, since their goal is to show off Vega in the best possible light.
and there are other benchmarks if you look in the endnotes of the presentation deck where you have gains (on minimum framerates) where gains are already larger than that (and other show also less gain, but as told before it must be seen, where the bottleneck is),
Which other benchmarks are you talking about? I didn't see any in which Vega has a significantly bigger gain of Fiji than the 35% shown in BF1 4K. The only other high one I see is the min FPS for CoD:IW where Vega is 36% faster.
Other than that all of the others are lower, once again indicating that BF1 (and CoD:IW) are best case scenarios.
and because in other non-gaming tasks there are increases (i.e. Polygon, compute) much larger than that.
Wake me up when this actually translates to better game performance.
For the average consumer, these things will probably only result in one thing, and that's higher prices, since miners will be buying up Vega cards, due to the high compute capabilities.
Not saying that it will become a wonderful products, but at least one must not see only the black side of things.
I'm not seeing the black side of things, I'm literally quoting AMD marketing slides.
You on the other hand, appear to believe that Vega will actually turn out better than what AMD is indicating in their marketing material. Which seems optimistic to put it mildly.
