I mean, stands to reason a company that sells quadfire would offer the top model in a blower.

Well we would all agree that it would be sensible, but would AMD, that is the question.

Finding space for multiple radiators will be problematic, I'd imagine and with water blocks taking however much time for a brand new card layout. Going crossfire right off the bat might not be the easiest thing to do.

Same tbh. :)

Think I'd rather sleep and check the forums over my morning cuppa before getting ready for work. But you never know on here and the odd insomniac or night worker might be about.

I'm secretly half hoping someone will and post the relevant info - as in actually confirmed from AMD - in a decent post or new thread that I can catch up on before I head off to work. :D

It doesn't really make sense for it to have liquid cooling unless AMD have not implemented any of the new power-saving features. So the version that has it must be overclocked to hell, probably including the mem. Wouldn't be surprised if the 640GB/s was only for the AIO SKU and the normal ones were 512.

Yeah, they seem to be talking up this new 6th Gen APU (?). Bit worried it will all be CPU, mobile etc with nothing until E3 for the new GPUs.

If they are going to do that it'd be nice if they at least finished with a 3dMark bench result or something. Just leave a nice big bench score on screen and walk off, fade to black.
 
If it WAS supposed to be all APU APU APU then they are scrambling around trying to find something else to talk about right now.

Iris Pro blew that up.
 
Just worried that the 980TI drop may have scuppered their plans for any big GPU reveal and/or they've used waiting until an E3 reveal to get devs etc to sign up for that to make it work out as a big deal.

They could just end up re-doing their last thing again (the Investors conference?), so talking up next years CPUs etc.

But yeah, they'd be a bit silly to just talk APUs and not give at least a little something on the new cards.

I don't think there is enough time to change anything in the press conference in just a few days.

If they had any plans to talks bout the new GPU at Computex I doubt it would change at this point.

Ha,

AMD Rep 'Here's another mediocre APU, points at 7870K APU'.

AMD Rep 'Well that's all have to show you guys this year'.

'Do you have a response to the Nvidia 980 Ti launch?'.

AMD Rep 'No'.

Nailed it, another successful computex for AMD.

Don't tell anyone, but my friend's Mam's Granny works as a cleaner at AMD headquarters somewhere or other. Apparently she was cleaning out the bogs (or 'cans' as they call them at these secret headquarters) and overheard two of their head engineers discussing the specs of the new Fury ZOMG Edition. They could only squeeze 6.1Gb of HBM memory onboard before the yields drop unacceptably low. The card idles at 51C, but owing to the new octa-fan reference cooler it only gets up to 62C under full load. It's as quick as five Titan Xs or four 980Tis.
It'll retail at $299 in the US, which they expect will translate to 799 euros or £699 in the UK.

I can't wait for this thanks for the info.:D;):D
 
It does and can happen though, they'll always - or at least should - have more than one rough plan of what they're going to do and parts they can chop in and out. There will be some flexibility in there.

Problem is when it gets left too late and becomes a bit a bit comical.

Most recent-ish example I'm thinking off with the above is Sony's PS4 E3, where they blatantly added/changed bits to have digs at MS' earlier XB1 reveals.

This is exactly what we're going to get - i.e. **** all :D

Ready when it's ready bitches :p

I'm beginning to think that AMD don't deserve Matt ;)
