Morning......

I asked this last night but it was lost in cascade's of text

I am genuinely interested by this

Sooo here goes again

Will you be able to overclock HBM or is it to tied to the GPU die that it won't be possible.

If no, are we seeing the end of overclocking as we know it today?

HBM has 500mb of bandwidth or so atm.
seems no reason why memory as HBM cant be OC tho.
 
Sony killed it yesterday, delivered some heavy punchs to Microsoft, and i wish for Athlon remake, i dont like Intel, and dont like to be forced to get it.

I know what you mean. I don't particularly dislike intel, but I do like healthy competition and would love to buy a AMD CPU again in the future. But right now they just way behind on the CPU front, it's not even funny.

My first PC CPU was an Athlon 400MHz and it was better than Pentium II, but most (brainwashed) people just like now with Nvidia and Apple perceived Intel's Pentium products to be superior due to better marketing at the time.

SKHynix confirms Radeon R9 Fury X to use HBM1 by accident released press hours before AMD announce Fury X lol.

SK Hynix Ramps Production of High Bandwidth Memory

Industry’s First High Bandwidth Memory Meets Performance Requirements of Virtual Reality Graphics Applications

SK Hynix Inc. (or ‘the Company’, www.skhynix.com) announced today that it is shipping mass production volumes of 1st generation High Bandwidth Memory (HBM1) based on SK hynix’s advanced 20nm-class DRAM process technology. HBM1 represents a groundbreaking leap in performance by enabling a 1,024 bit wide memory interface to achieve 128GB/second performance while reducing power by 50% over traditional GDDR5 DRAM solutions.

HBM1 utilizes through-silicon-via technology and microbumps to interconnect 4 DRAM die and 1 base die to achieve 1GB DRAM density per device. High Bandwidth Memory is designed to be assembled onto interposers allowing high speed memory interconnect to GPUs, CPUs, ASICs and FPGAs.

In addition to the mass production announcement, SK Hynix is pleased to recognize AMD as a key partner in enabling HBM1 technology. AMD announced the Radeon™ R9 Fury X, the world’s first graphics card with HBM technology in Los Angeles on June 16th (WhyCry: Oops!) The AMD Radeon R9 Fury X graphics card utilizes 4GB HBM1 to achieve up to 512GB/second memory bandwidth performance while reducing memory subsystem power by up to 85%.

“AMD has pioneered the adoption of HBM1 technology in graphics applications achieving unprecedented memory bandwidth while reducing memory subsystem power” said Joe Macri, AMD Corporate Vice President and Product CTO, “Integrating AMD’s Graphics Processing Unit and HBM1 on a single 2.5D silicon interposer represents a major step forward in high performance graphics applications”.

“High Bandwidth Memory technology is the first JEDEC standard memory targeted for interposer system-in-package applications, effectively breaking down the memory wall barrier through tight integration of DRAM and high performance processors” said Kevin Widmer, SK Hynix America Vice President of Technical Marketing, “The performance requirements of emerging graphics, computing and networking applications are driving the demand for High Bandwidth Memory”.

SK Hynix is well positioned to support customer demand for High Bandwidth Memory as part of a broad portfolio of DRAM, NAND and SSD solutions. The 1.2V 1GB HBM1 device is available now in production quantities.
 
Everyone including their pets know Fury will use HBM1. How is this even a leak/news.

Yep, totally agreed. It actually really confused me, it kind of reminded me off when the BBC broke the news story about how Russia and Qatar may have won the world cup with bribery... after Blatter resigned and we had all seen a weeks’ worth of corruption news.
 
I know some people here think I'm down on everything AMD (I'm not, I just hate how their PR machine works), but I really hope they pull an absolute weapon out of the bag tonight. The GFX market has been stagnant for too long and we can see what allowing NV to rest on their laurels has done.

I'll be delighted if it stuffs my Titan X.
 
Y'know, I've been looking at old Hynix catalogues and they've been listing HBM as "available now" since at least Q3 2014. They have offered improved specs over time too.

.

someone asks WhyCry to leak some performance numbers in the comments section on that page WhyCry replies with

"Already posted FireStrike Ultra which is rendered in 4k. Gaming benchmarks should be available this week.."

So do you reckon we wont get benchmarks untill later on in the week or next week??

I have a feeling there will just be a few very vague %s and some "up to"s, type of thing you would expect a casual audience to clap for.

Test samples have no BIOS so WhyCry's supposed FS results are about as credible as a Monsanto-branded organic potato LOL.
 
Bulldozer for one. Anyways 5 hours left to go!!

The performance of Bulldozer wasn't known about until release day, like I said before there were no leaks.

I'm not talking about simply the amount of hype, I said you tend to get leaks about performance/price etc which add to the hype when a company has something worth shouting about. The biggest flops are usually kept under tight wraps with no leaks.
