LOL, because they are related ? ( performance per watt)What? You're mixing completely different things with eatch other. What does IPC have to do with power consumption?
There are 2 ways to increase p/w.
1. increase performance at same wattage ( aka more ipc ).
or
2. reduce power consumption at same performance.
1st one is not happening here since the chip and architecture is same, and 2nd is already pretty close to what it should be, so i don't really understand where is this 50% less power consumption is coming from.
people still don't understand, polaris have good enough power consumption for the amount of teraflops it provides. but those teraflops doesn't provide the amount of performance they should. so the result is lower performance/ watts.
what wccftech saying is, that new cards will have 50% lower power consumption resulting 50% more performance/watt. which is not possible. if they said new cards will have 50% more performance resulting 50% more performance/watt i could believe that if only there's going to be an architecture change. which again is not happening.
i can't explain it any better. just remember 1.6ghz talk what happened to it. you people are the reason amd fails because you believe in hype and expect too much.
