The article refers to a 'source' that knows of AMD plans so it's not actually AMD who is talking up their upcoming products. Once they officially make a statement then you can criticize them but not just yet.

Hopefully AMD will have realised with the Fiji that throwing in more SP's or bandwidth doesn't necessarily make everything faster. More tesselation and shader performance should speed things up, not to mention clockspeeds.

Fair enough.

The only confirmed ones will be Zen and Greenland. Considering AMD made a statement that they had 2 Finfet products taped out.

It takes a big man to accept when he is wrong.

Why not edit you previous post to correct the mistake

I'm always happy to admit when I'm wrong.

Will edit my post.

It seems like a lifetime on 28nm.. Finally some real progression.

Its been what 5 years which in tech is 2 lifetimes.

Next year be awesome for gpus finally.

Yep, Pascal is looking sweet

You gone back to Nvidia only I see...On the specs they both look good.

He likes to kidd himself and others that he is more impartial than he really is, but as you can see he is incapable of holding up the act.
I have owned NV cards as well but i dont try to kidd myself or others.

I'll be very interested to see these develop. If they are super tasty then I'll have to get one, otherwise I'll bung another 980ti in there

He also has these weird people that only come out of the woodwork when he posts something about amd.

Not that i have noticed, i think its more to do with what he is saying and in what context and in what thread as he was talking about Pascal not AMD.

the thing is with the ever increasing difficulties with the smaller nodes who says that 16/14nm will not be the norm for 5+ years?

But it certainly looks like good times ahead.

Exactly...Only a fanboy would start praising his gpu manufacturer of choice in a rival's thread. Also the spec chart shows the AMD card is virtually the same spec-wise apart from the core type, which makes the 'pascal is looking sweet' statement totally fanboyish. Didn't he get suspended for this type of trolling hence the temporary change in attitude towards AMD?

Funny you should say that. There's also weird people who appear in AMD threads and talk up Nvidia...very strange indeed.

Is it really that transparent? Valid observation I sometimes wonder if the threads are generated by bots they are that predictable who will appear in them and what choice words they have to say.

It works both ways doesn't it. If Nvidia crew come into an AMD thread and vice versa it will always descend into some petty sniping match. Both sides will have people who will speak out against sometimes total lies.
