Radeon flagship is back, this summer, in the form of a graphics card

[brownninja97]

Get the music. trust me, it is needed for this article.

 

 

Looks like the new flagship is coming, sadly this flagship speaks in a language that i dont understand, technology language, not standard language, hell not even advanced, this is like god tier crap going on. Anyways onto the article hope you enjoy.

 

 

So first of all its the theory stuff

 

So mr videocardz was having a chat(most likely a truxican standoff) with mr amd employee said the 290x is getting replaced. Remember the 7970ghz edition, wellll. The same sort of thing should happen again and along with that they will butcher the naming schemes, also there are rumors of  extra gpus being added, by adding a "5" suffix to the gpu names, eg 275 which could bring back the tahiti le card.

 

 

 

aww yeah quotes n sh**

 

 

 

• 28nm TSMC 1H 2014 : Hawaii, VI 1.0
• 28nm GlobalFoundries 2H 2014 : Iceland and Tonga, VI 2.0
• 28nm GlobalFoundries 1H 2015 : Maui, VI 2.0
• 20nm GlobalFoundries 2H 2015 : Fiji and Treasure, PI 1.0
• 20nm GlobalFoundries 1H 2016 : Bermuda, PI 1.0
• 14nm GlobalFoundries 2H 2016 : Mid-GPU and Low-GPU, PI 2.0
• 14nm GlobalFoundries 1H 2017 : High-GPU, PI 2.0

 

Amd have put up all of these things and its too much for me to handle, but it looks like this HBM so and so is great 

 

Ok i give up i have no idea what this means, but it must be an upgrade. Clever people do your thing.

 

Looks like the watts is cut down by 1/3 which is nice, no more devil 13s with 4x8pins, only 3 8 pins now. 

 

Its an improvement im not complaining.

without song: 2-10 hard to fap to

 

with song: 10-10 fapped too it

 

very interesting, lets hope they can equally keep up with the schedule

You're right, I barely understood... as long as there's an improvement...

[flibberdipper]

Sooo... Is it a 290X x2 x2 GHz edition, or...

It's hard to focus on article when music sounds like I'm at a bar.

you just offended a lot i mean A LOT of people, most of which are not gay.

[DavidTheWin]

Interesting to note that 20nm is only predicted for the second half of 2015, that's a good whole year after we thought.

[WinNut]

YAY NEW GPU!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of my closest friends is gay...so

 

 

I don't like repetitive beats, sorry...back on topic, card is neato.

[Kayn]

This is going to be interesting.

 

@Mooshi But your avatar is so on beat with the music though.

It goes with lots of music, :V

But anyways, looking forward to it. I really wonder how a big change will this new memory be to a 4k gaming. I just got a whole lot more excited about new GPUs!

[Me1z]

So, does anyone know when ticket sales for the hype train starts? I want to make sure I get a window seat. I love watching the GPU market get flipped on its head with each flagship release. Fingers crossed for $600 GTX 780 TIs.  :lol:

780 ti's are already basically 600$ lol

O rly? Where can I buy a brand new GTX 780 ti for $600? I genuinely want to know because everywhere I look they try to charge me $700-750. And don't get me started with that $699.99 nonsense..... it's $700.

[ivhyn]

Does that mean we're getting stacked DRAM in summer?

Time to get excited.

no, thats with a new arc, the summer card is basically like a haswell refresh but for hawaii, just a small overclock, maybe slightly better specs.

Hotline Miami best game ive bought in years

I actually have a test sample. Let me just turn on my PC to run some benc...

It's like 660-680 on pcpartpicker, but yeah I suppose it's $60 over 600.

This is just a rumor right now. AMD did announce that they will begin production of "certain GPUs" at Globalfondries this year. But we don't really know the nature of these GPUs if indeed they're high-end, mid-range or even a new flagship product.

If this turns out to be accurate it would be really funny seeing AMD get to stacked DRAM almost two years ahead of Nvidia after Nvidia continually touted stacked DRAM as the key feature of their Volta architecture which has been canned and replaced by Pascal.
My theory is they canned Volta because HMC (Hybrid Memory Cube) wasn't ready and they switched to HBM which was co-developed by SK Hynix & AMD.

The only one that cheap is PNY's and arguably its for good reasons. You couldn't pay me to use one of their GPUs. The only brands I would buy from are EVGA, Asus, Gigabyte and maybe Msi.

I wonder how Nvidia would react, a 780 ti price reduction, a 780 ti boost... mmm...

Amd did show off working prototypes of stacked memory (not on gpus) almost four years ago.

http://semiaccurate.com/2013/05/20/nvidias-volta-gpu-raises-serious-red-flags-for-the-company/

This is the one time amd has been leaps and bounds ahead of nvidia. Semiaccurate seems to believe that amd is just bidding their time till they need it to compete, as said in this excerpt:

"The take home message is that AMD had stacked memory on GPUs ready and waiting in late 2011. They still have that knowledge and can roll it out at any time for any product they choose to, top to bottom, mobile or discrete. AMD did not crow about it years prior to Tahiti, they just did the engineering quietly in a lab somewhere and worked all the kinks out. Nvidia is now talking about doing the same in with Volta in 2016?"

I see this being a big deal, and amd could tack this on to Hawaii to instantly take the crown back... And not relenquish it till nvidia can match the memory.

Very interesting indeed!
