Wow man, nice find! :thumbsup:
Kabini and Temash were expected to bring some massive perf/watt gains over previous low power Brazos offerings,but Richland and 40% increase?.
Indeed it could be just a figure for GPU perf. increase. We just don't know what it is yet. If it's done on 28nm it can be new GPU+clock bump.
We don't know, because there are no 40nm GCN products to my knowledge. GCN might ensure that additional units scale better or that available computing power is used more efficiently, but the majority of the improvements seem to come from the process shrink.
Up to 4.4GHz? I thought GloFo's 28nm process netted lower clocks (but much lower TDPs)
I thought that this was part of the reason SR was moved to 2014. It doesn't matter if you get a ~30% IPC boost if you lose the benefit due to lower clocks (that and $$s for back end OPs).
Dont forget, the big size of die (and about half of power consumption in load) making UNB+iGPU part. Not core size+L2. ANd this iGPU is much perform than anything else in integreted PC systems.
nop, under the same shaders/clocks the GCN is generaly faster than VLIW-4
I didn't say it couldn't be. I said, the majority of the performance improvement is due to 28nm.
On top of that to expect a 40% clock increase from a half-node shrink is wishful thinking, or believe that GLF 32nm SOI is botched high time, but then you would have to ask why they went for such a process.
I'm sure I wouldn't have to look very hard to find a post of yours telling us how bad GF's 32nm is. So is it or not?
It's the same GLF that delivered 32nm SOI that will deliver 28nm bulk, so what's your point?
AMD also introduced the new Richland APU, which is currently shipping to OEMs, which delivers a 40 percent increase in performance over the previous generation of A-Series APUs. Richland is expected to come bundled with new software for consumers such as gesture and facial recognition to dramatically expand and enhance consumers user experiences. The follow-on to Richland will be the 28nm Kaveri APU with revolutionary heterogeneous system architecture (HSA) features and is expected to begin shipping to customers in the second half of 2013.
Hes joking right ??
Richland 40% over Trinity and is currently shipping to OEMs ?? and then Kaveri will be on 28nm and expected to begin shipping in the second half of 2013 ???? they will release both of them in the same year ?? WTF
Well I just watched the pod cast Silvermont will be out in the stores by holidays of 2013 . From the horses mouth. So that takes care of that made up story . Windows 8 is actually looking pretty good . I like the presentation . Haswell also is no longer 10 watt . Its been moved to 7 watts . I figured 8watts based on last years demo . Intel managed 1 extra watt. So there you have in the tablet space intel will dominate the high end all others are cream puffs . Silvermont will likely also beat the others giving us to GREAT intel choices

Core size means nothing other than more dies per 300m on smaller dies since intel has its own fabs its not hurting intel so much as those who have to pay foundries for dies. Samsung being intels fab nemesis

On topic, why is the APU's so sensitive to RAM? More so than Intel's iGPU. And do you guys see this "trend" improving even more?
I just saw some G.skill RAM OC'ed to 3900MHz, and made me wonder.
