AMD on the road to recovery.

Absolutely their delivering innovations that we haven’t seen the Athlon days, also with pricing so competitive and the majority of games being GPU bound their slight clock speed disadvantage isn’t really that much of an issue.

With making FreeSync available to all, they have played a master stroke, it’s already supported on the XBox One X and most lightly supported on next gen consoles and also Intel look set to adopt it for their discrete GPUs. Its made G-Sync and it’s £200-£300 modules just look anti-competitive.

That a big positive for those of us with Freesync monitors, While AMD can't currently compete with the high end it doesn't matter that much as Nvidia are pricing most of out anyway and with Intel doubling our choices in 2 or 3 years time we're in a good position going forward.

Assuming this is what you meant, they did not even test a 290. More fud from panos? Lets add that to the vault of other crap.
Last one was 4000mhz CL16 ram and 4.5ghz 2700x?? We're gonna have to start calling you wccftechos

I think I'm right in saying that a 290 beats a 570 which sits ahead of the 1060 matching the 980 in that graph, That's pretty good, that said it's obviously down to the game using async giving the Hawaii cards an edge that's what's making this possible. Back when Maxwell reigned the 980 was untouchable by Hawaii.

Wow I didn't realize Intel had been delaying 10nm since 2016, That's good news for AMD.

Indeed, it is impressive but in only 1 or 2 titles.
Overall it's a hell of a lot slower.

AMD also had a large helping hand in this title, and it shows.
Unfortunately they won't be able to to this for all.

I know, it's hard finding up to date charts nowadays as reviewers seem to drop cards pretty quickly, This is an overall summary from a review that was done when Vega released, In this it has the 390 around 5% faster than a 970, 1% behind the 480 and 2 percent behind the 6gb 1060, For some reason they haven't included the 980 even though they did the 970 but if as a guess it's a few percent ahead of the 6gb 1060 it would mean the 290 which I think matches a 390* would have had the overall summary showing the 290 5 or 6 percent behind a 980 at most which is a lot better than it was doing a couple of years ago. The only reason it's catching up is because games are starting to use api tech that GCN does well, I know people are still claiming Nvidia nobble their old tech but I don't believe that, I think they have done in the past but not anymore, Maybe the backlash they got back then stopped them, Now they don't nerf performance they just don't bother to try their hardest with the old architectures driver support for new games.
AMD aren't above doing it themselves though. They did it when Grenada released, They purposely held back Crimson driver improvements so that when the 390 & 390x release reviews were done they had different drivers for the new Grenada cards compared to the Hawaii cards, around a month after the reviews were all done they then unlocked the new drivers so Hawaii cards could use them as well and then lo and behold we were getting performance parity.

*(the only time the 390 get's any meaningful advantage over a 290 is if the size of the memory matters).

Actually the big rally started after the V340 was launched.
Yet we know nothing how this godzila is wired and working with it's dual Vega.

It was in reference to "something is brewing" i.e. in the future. 7nm is still to come and the stock is rising in anticipation. Makes sense knowing AMD are ahead on process.
 
AMD are now over double the P/E value of Nvidia (90 vs 41). Yikes. Hopefully doesn't turn into buy the hype/sell the fact situation later. I think things are looking good however. Intel are something like 31, so even cheaper than Nvidia on PE. Correction, intel have a P/E of 17 - cheapest of the three on P/E at least.

Analyst Firm Susquehanna: "Intel Lost its Manufacturing Leadership"
https://www.techpowerup.com/247354/analyst-firm-susquehanna-intel-lost-its-manufacturing-leadership

"TSMC is the company to look out for as the semiconductor manufacturer leader, as it "appears to be winning most of the leading-edge design wins due to better 7nm process technology performance, lower power consumption and better area density.

Intel has apparently also decided to postpone its EUV efforts for its 7nm process development while its still full steam ahead for TSMC and Samsung!
AMD sure picked the right partner at the right time as TSMC seems to be soaring ahead :eek:
