I do assume the wink emoticon means you must know these things.

Yeah the monitor is tricky, nothing out at the moment that I really want unless you fancy playing the not very much fun at all panel lottery game
Someone in chat on Stardock's Ashes launch stream was spouting nonsense about the Surface 5 Pro (due in Q4) having Pascal and 4GB of HBM, then asking if it would be able to run Ashes.
The dev's reply was interesting.
He basically said Pascal wouldn't be power efficient enough to be in a Surface product. He said Polaris could be efficient enough, but doubted that it'd be included in a Surface product and thought it would have integrated graphics.
Evidently he has some knowledge of Pascal's architecture that hasn't been made public. He doesn't seem to think it compares well to Polaris in efficiency.
Still in fantasy-land I see.
Occam's Razor: he misunderstood, conflated or otherwise misspoke.
Reading that again, I can assume that they meant that Pascal with HBM wouldn't be power efficient enough and being that only the High end Pascal is likely to have HBM and those chips certainly wouldn't be efficient enough, he is right.
Pascal not being as efficient as expected will be due to the readded dedicated DP hardware. Only reason for Maxwell's efficiency was its removal.
Not true, as GK104 also had no DP and anyway Fiji was stripped of DP too. DP is not a reason für Maxwells or Fijis better efficiency.

Both companies will need to pay a small fee for reintroducing DP into their offerings, but as it's only available in the highest end (Big Vega and GP100) it will play no role for polaris or the other pascal offerings.
Figi has not had it's dp stripped out. It's just disabled to 1/16 and could be enabled to 1/2 if AMD chose to do so which can't be done with maxwell as it's not there (Stripped out). Due to only having 4gb Hbm it would be no use in the professional market. The Gpu itself would be a compute monster.

The old style Titan did have DP, this is one of the reasons why it was no match for a GTX 690 which did not.
And the above was despite the fact the Titan had a higher transistor count and all on one core, not split like a GTX 690.
Old News and false. GCN 1.2 can't do more than 1:16 in hardware. They were talking at HPC events that they can't do more. It's the reason you see S9300 with 1:16 DP.

I'm glad someone else on the forum isn't afraid to post the truth. I've been sy wing this reputedly and getting shot down by the usual suspects.
