NEW AMD POLARIS 10 AMD’s “Project F” is 232mm2 discrete GPU

[El Diablo]

OK im guna copy paste this exactly,,if im not allowed to someone tell me and il swap around a few words here and there

 

 

 

AMD’s Project F is Polaris 10?

Without a doubt AMD has no problem finding new codenames for its graphics chips. Ellesmere, Baffin, Greenland, Vega, Polaris 10&11 are some of the buzzwords associated through various leaks with Radeon 400 series. Determining which one is actually true is not possible at this time.

Project F is yet another codename for the chip designed at AMD HQ. What we’ve learned from previous LinkedIn leaks is that just because something is designed and reaches engineering state, it does not mean it will end up as a product for end-users. Project F could be one of such designs.

According to the profile of former AMD employee Project F is a discrete GPU designed in 14nm Low-Power Plus manufacturing process. Such chip would be manufactured by either Samsung or Global Foundaries. 14LPP is a next iteration of 14nm process bringing improvements over 14LPE (Lower-Power Early) process in performance and power efficiency roughly by 15%.

14LPP – Enhanced version with higher performance and lower power; a full platform offering with MPW, IP enablement and wide application coverage — Global Foundaries

The profile also confirms that Project F has a die size of 232mm², which would indicate that we are looking at Pitcairn (Curacao, Trinidad) replacement. It could be the same chip that was showcased by AMD at CES as GeForce GTX 950 competitor. In other words, Project F might be the graphics processor for Radeon R9/R7 470(X) series.

There's a remove format button next to the font size drop-down box.

 

The quoting is also fine when you're making your own post. All you have to do is do the usual BBCode quote wrapper-thing.

I've seen this before on this forum.

Heavily doubt this. With a 232mm chip on 14nm, they wouldn't be matching it against a GTX 950.. 

More likely, they were showcasing the replacement for Cape Verde chip.

This is Polaris 10, not Vega 10, it's a low end card.

I never stated it was Vega10?

The 232mm will have quite the performance. Perhaps not anything to top the current lineup, but atleast a nice boost on certain price brackets.

Ah, I thought you thought this was a flagship card.

[Doobeedoo]

Hmm I wonder what will be the size of their flagship GPU though. It seems they can make it pretty big though. Either way more important is how they'll balance performance/efficiency this time around.

I removed the formatting so people can actually read it

I moved your thread to Graphics Cards because you are not following the requirements that are found in the Tech News sub-forum as well as the Community Standards. Simply copy/pasting stuff from an article is not permitted.

 

If you update your post so it's properly formatted, I will move it back. Until then, it stays here.

It's supposedly 232 mm², which is a typical GPU size for the midrange gaming segment. The GTX 960 uses a 227mm² chip, and the 950 has a cut-down version of the same chip. With a new architecture and the 14nm process, this GPU should blow the GTX 950 out of the water - it's not meant to compete against that anyway, and Nvidia will have something a lot better than the 950 as well.

 

Guesstimating performance just based on probable die size is obviously not going to be very accurate, but I'm guessing this thing would not be far off a GTX 970 or R9 390.
