[Fud] AMD confirms 20nm in 2015

[TwistedDictator]

 

Lisa Su, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, AMD, has confirmed what we told you back in May 2014 – AMD’s 20nm products are coming next year. 

Without going into many details about the actual chips, Su confirmed our report during the company’s Q2 financial conference call.

"We (AMD) will be shipping products in 20 nanometre next year and as we move forward obviously a FinFET is also important,” said Su.

Well its been a while Also if they make a new chip, it would be good. Lets not start a war but the 8350 did put a good fight agaist the 4770K (obviously the 4770K is faster but cost a lot more)

 

Speacil thanks to Fatal1sm for the benchmarks (a member on our forum)

NEW!!!

 

INTRODUCING THE AMD FX 8360, CODENAMED LAVA!!!

 

But seriously, it's about time AMD moved to a new process.

Got a feeling this is for GPUs 

[pixeldensity]

Wasn't this confirmed a long time ago

yah rumor has it that they have their own version of hyperthreading too. A 2015 arch refresh has been in the rumor mill for quite some time. Glad to hear a confirmation of sorts.

New non APU stuff from AMD! I like APU's but they really need some more CPU power.

[Phillyphries]

Falls right into my update cycle, LOL

if they introduce their own hypertrheading, will devs have to code for it?

 

i mean, hyperthreading is ancient, games that use hyperthreading are coming out now. 

 

but i guess at least they will deliver CPUs to compete with intels pace

why does this sound very unprofessional? 

 

also of course it will be FinFET... if they want to lower the power consumption/transistor, they have to go FinFET...

[deviant88]

Did you guys even read the article this is crap news,its for APU, again...

It's AMD. Don't underestimate their ability to not include something like that.

amd is dropping bulldozer in early/mid 2015. 

[ericlee30]

Weather its for their new line of CPU's or GPU's atleast they are moving forward

i dont think TSMC/GF would even make a <20nm part not FinFET... it would not work at all probably, too many losses for the size

[Bloodyvalley]

still, this is good news

[Syntaxvgm]

You are right, but the design process probably started out like this

so like I'm saying don't underestimate them.

rly amazing!!! .. only if AMD could alrdy have done this at the beggining of 2014 u.u. I'm hoping this new cpu, will literally be the same or even beat an i7 4th gen oc to 4.8.. also would be rly cool seeing the FX 8350 to drop down to $100 and 8320 $70.. so then tons of ppl can rly have a good cpu cheap on their machine.

[Misanthrope]

I was about to make a big deal of the use of the term FUD but I see that's just your source.

 

In any case yeah, hopefully not just APUs

I think it would work the same. I would image the way windows handles SMT isn't intel specific.

Please improve your typing, you're dreaming if you think this will match even an i5

Also they can only drop the price of an 8350 so much, it has a huge die area and is already selling for half the original asking price

Who's to say it won't? Competition is healthy, an Intel monopoly is bad for everyone.

It seems like I have been supporting AMD today, its not because of my mood but its due to just idiot posts lol.

 

But anyway, AMD has a price drop so does that make it a bad thing? or do you always like the price super high. The AMD pulls a good fight with the i5/i7 and look how cheaper it is...

 

No need to be rude about people spelling, get your a*se out of your head. Dont be rude to members because you wouldnt like them telling you how stupid you are thinking "if the price drops it crap".  It 2014 price drops quick, Intel in the other hand keep their price high because they know consumers (fanboys) will buy no matter what.

[Eroda]

not surprising considering how late 28nm was to the party, i was always expecting paper show off launch in q4 with actual chips being sold feb next year

[mr moose]

Is this moving forward or catching up? I personally want to see them do something that will force Nvidia of their fat wallets and develop something to get me excited about pc hardware again. 

 

Honestly in the last 3 years the biggest announcements and developments in the enthusiasts world have been nothing short of underwhelming.  It's good to see 4k coming along but even that is slow, There has been a shit load of hype from AMD, Nvidia and Intel but when was the last time we saw some real performance upgrades from their Products?

 

Sorry for the rant...

I didn't necessarily say a price drop wont happen, but you have to be realistic, at a certain point AMD will just be giving away money on FXs, The die for the FX procs is bigger than intel 2011 processors.

 

intels prices are high because they are ahead, if it was the opposite story AMD wouldn't be being nice and reducing their prices to help gamers, they are just at a disadvantage so they will take what they can get. I do hope AMD can put out something competitive, but right now i only consider their GPUs worth buying. I was looking forward to Steamroller, and that was nothing to be excited for, slightly lower power consumption at the same or worse performance.

 

I wasn't being rude, id just ask that people put some effort into typing, its alot easier to read and comprehend if the author uses proper grammer and all. Besides i wrote a total of 4 words on the subject of that users typing.
