piper Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Gotta keep that balance sheet balanced yo. Kinda unbalances our sh*t, I mean sheet. It is the technology, Sire. Took us close to ~30 years to miniaturize from valve based computing to the transistor based IC's. Then took ~20 years to compress that for home usage. Ten years down the line, we have quad-core phones. Go figure. Technology regurgitates means to advance itself faster, every-time. Good morning, Alpha. Are you saying there was no way way that say, the 7xxx series of AMD couldn't have been developed a year before it actually was. At this stage I'm presuming you are one or more of the following : too rich : that you don't care as long as you can afford to keep upgrading each year naive : that you actually believe in technology constraints and "new developments" employed by Nvidia : of course you'd say about technology advances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Good morning, Alpha.

The HD7*** series of cards must have been in the pipes just as the whole HD6*** series was being prepared to be pushed into the market. If I am not mistaken, the GTX TITAN programme must have begun in parallel with Kepler. In-fact it is a server / workstation grade card that has been flashed with the TITAN firmware to classify it as so. Same with the official HD7990. The first taping out (or release of processed silicon) takes place at-least a year in advance, the HD9*** series cards have been in the pipe and production must be limbering up as of now. All the defects and teething issues that will occur with a jump from one node of production / fabrication (28nm -->20nm) to another must be getting sorted out. Yields will be estimated so that the various subfamilies can be segregated, positioned and priced. Also the other answers, if I am so rich why am I gaming on a 20" screen with a HD5770? if I were naive, would have lauded this as a great achievement which I am not; again reiterating these are failed TITAN cards that are being repurposed. The AMD release will be a bigger statement because they are jumping fabrication nodes. I sadly am unemployed currently. Also not so much a supporter of nVidia as I have a distinct AMD bias. To understand the whole process of how graphic cards are planned, executed and launched -- Anandtech: The RV770 Story, documenting ATi's (AMD Graphic Division) road to success Anandtech: The RV870 Story, AMD showing up for the fight Happy reading and hope this helps, Cheerio!

kemosabe Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 It's kind of meh for me;same traditional brute force monolithic update,I will be more interested for AMD's next unified memory enabled APU lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kemosabe Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Are you referring to AMD or nVidia in the above statement? Nvidia's 700 announcement . I am not sure whom to blame but I want to see some radical change in PC hardware as well as the software (OS and 3D API). I like the concept of Unified Memory by AMD in their Jaguar lineup (inside ps4), I am eager to see how it will work for ps4 and what happen when AMD release it for PC.I think Nvidia's next to next lineup has similar kind of technology (Parker in Tegra I guess) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 ^^ Ah! Okay the Heterogeneous System Architecture principle. Really want to see how Jaguar performs, octa-core with a modest clock speed, if everything goes as per plan; games will become more friendly to multi-core processor based systems.
