New Carrizo Benchmarks

[totjup5]

Hope this is true for the sake of my htpc.

Hope this is true for the sake of my htpc.

If i remember correctly there wont be a desktop variant, i would love one for my htpc as well!

[Speedbird]

Grrrr... I want Intel APUs.

[sgloux3470]

This is pretty impressive.

I'm really curious to see how hard AMD is going to push the CPU/GPU teamwork angle. If we get to the point where dGPU's can cooperate with the CPU I think things will get very interesting. or even if the APU graphics cores could handle certain parts of the rendering pipeline while the dGPU focuses on the tougher stuff.

All intel i series are apu's...they just called them integrated graphics.

HD 4600 is weak as f**k when compared to a 7850K. I was hoping that Iris Pro and Broadwell would come closer, but apparently I was wrong.

[TOMPPIX]

Holyshit it has only 512 stream processors. The r7 265 has 1024 stream processors, i guess this leak has to be true then http://wccftech.com/amd-radeon-r9-300-gpu-alleged-3d-mark-benchmarks-leaked/

[razor767]

Awesome if true.

this shows an I7 with an r9 300 series....i am confused...

That's the alleged 390X leak, not the carrizo one. 

[TOMPPIX]

Carrizo is using 300 series graphics i hope.

[Faa]

Kaveri isn't that much faster, it's sometimes even worse, I expected more from AMD.

I think the next step is working in collaboration with discrete hardware. Tho there are other places HSA could rear its face in gaming. Per example as using the iGPU as a co-processor for crunching physics. A prime example of that would be AMD's GrassFX. Where the iGPU crunches the grass physics while the dGPU is left entirely to rendering.

 

This is a demo using OpenCL for physics.

Broadwell will more than likely close the gap with Kaveri in the desktop segment. Tho its performance will come at a price premium.

 

Carrizo is using 300 series graphics i hope.

Carrizo is using Volcanic Islands. The same architecture (GCN 1.2) used in Tonga.

[Yoinkerman]

This is pretty exciting, soon we'll be able to recommend entry level systems to just skip a dedicated gpu and still get reasonable frames

[CreativeTHC]

But every device is moving towards 4k,I don't know how this is such a big deal. It may seem good for 720p/1080p

Carrizo is perfect for 4k as it features UVD 3.1 which brings dedicated hardware decoding for H.265. You can run 4k video on Carrizo at 60 FPS without using any shaders and without dropped frames. As for 4k gaming? Well the desktop industry is having a hard enough time getting affordable 4k out the door. In the laptop market where everything costs more I doubt anyone is going to be buying a gaming laptop and expect fluid 4k gaming.

the leak is not from wccftech but they did report on it

anyways

 

Announced as strictly mobile parts, Carrizo is based on the next generation Excavator core and features what AMD is calling one of their biggest ever jumps in efficiency. Now alleged leaked benchmarks are showing significant performance gains as well, with numbers that should elevate the IGP dominance of AMD's APUs.

 

WCCFtech explains the performance shown in this SiSoft Sandra leak in their post:

"The A10 7850K scores around 270 Mpix/s while Intel’s HD5200 Iris Pro scores a more modest 200 Mpix/s. Carriso scores here over 600 Mpix/s which suggests that Carrizo is more than twice as fast as Kaveri and three times faster than Iris Pro. To put this into perspective this is what an R7 265 graphics card scores, a card that offers the same graphics performance inside the Playstation 4."

 

 

While the idea of desktop APUs with greatly improved graphics and higher efficency is tantalizing, AMD has made it clear that these will be mobile-only parts at launch. When asked by Anandtech, AMD had this to say about the possibility of a desktop variant:

 

“With regards to your specific question, we expect Carrizo will be seen in BGA form factor desktops designs from our OEM partners. The Carrizo project was focused on thermally constrained form factors, which is where you'll see the big differences in performance and other experiences that consumers value.”

 

The new mobile APU will be manufactured with the same 28nm process as Kaveri, with power consumption up to 35W for the Carrizo down to a maximum of 15W for the ultra-mobile Carrizo-L parts.

 

 

 

 

 

i have no idea how big this APU is but it has to be BIG to have the same performance as a 265/270 GPU

[Hatsune Miku 「 」]

APU die is going to have to be larger than normal..

[The Crazed Child]

Wow, I wonder what the Carrizo notebooks will be like in terms of pricing, I might get one to game on

[Manny Calavera]

Finally an APU you can game on

[Archangel1994]

That APU die is going to have to be huge to accommodate all them GPU cores on the die and I can't imagine the TDP being low because of this. 

 

NH-D15 mandatory anyone?

[Thorium19]

Well that's a significant improvement. Means we might actually be able to go round to our console friends houses and get similar performance as them on a cheapish laptop that costs a similar price to their "next-gen" machine and still have more functionality.

[Syntaxvgm]

does that mean that this is powerful or the ps4 is pathetic?

 I mean it has a gimped 7870  soo...

[Dabombinable]

I'd say that the PS4 is pathetic. But it is an improvement graphically over the PS3.

It comes in at 15,45 and 65 watts. There is going to be no Desktop from what we know. Using 28nm HPP and some other crap to make it work.
