Not really what I was getting at. AMD has been having problems for the better part of a decade now. But it's only recently we're getting these editorials about how AMD cut you off but you ain't mad bro......AMD is crap and their mom is so fat that when the [censored] jump up in the air she gets stuck.....but I ain't mad.
Does not compute, Kyle said Polaris is a failure that's the end of it.If Polaris is a big fail then why it will be powering the next Ps and Xbox...
It seems that they have noticed this thread... ^_^
I said: they [H] have noticed this thread (Anand).
Kyle B - "As of two weeks ago, I am dead on about Polaris. And I do not think AMD is going to fix the problem by seeding reviewers with cherry picked samples of the cards this weekend. I do not think they can get back on track that quickly with their clocks for production. Polaris was never meant to be a middle of the stack part, but you can spin it however your want."
I do not understand how anyone with any level of knowledge can really believe this about a chip of this size. I wonder if he will explain this at any time, since he really does not have a reason not to and has not I will continue to assume he has finally went full on ragemode.
AMD intended this chip at ~2/3 the size of the 1080 to be their high performer... what?
I never said that.I think most people have gotten that all ready.
I posted a link myself after someone had posted one from Overclockers.
Why does it matter that much ?
If AMD releases a 480X for $299 or less that is as fast as a 390X with HEVC and VP9 decoding support I can't see how that is bad. I also note that [H]'s forums are disgustingly ugly, red and black makes you want to claw your eyes out.
Honestly, there is likely not much to miss here, as we do not think AMD has any answer for GTX 1080, but the middle of the product stack will surely get revamped if GlobalFoundries and crank out the 14nm parts.
I think it almost needs to be faster than 390x. approaching fury non-x performance at $300 would be a good spot for a new generation. They should not go off their MSRP for these cards and think $300 for 390x is a great thing. 390 was adequate and cheaper than that already.
getting quite a lot of billions from the saudis if glofo fails isnt really something amd wants second time..The bipolarism for [H]ardOCP here baffles me. Beside that, RTG going to Intel would be AWESOME!
I've been saying Intel should just buy those GPU patents and curb stop Nvidia. If I got to give someone $200 or more for their margins, I got no qualms giving it to Intel
On the rumor of Polaris, if anymore leaks come about, might be time to worry.
Polaris bursting into flames is probable to me, and the only reason I'd entertain the thought is: GloFo.
They've being hindering AMD for years it seems. If they botch this, AMD better GTFO out of there ASAP. How many more products can GloFo ruins for AMD before they end that abusive relationship. Woof.

230mm^2 x 1.3 give you 300mm^2 approximately. The jump between 14nm to 16nm is considered to be ~30%, so you tell me what AMD could have imagined.
because according to Kyle:
After mentioning to Kyle that the P10 is rumored to be 230mm^2 and GP104 is 315mm^2 he replied:
