AMD removed Polaris page ,which clamed Polaris 10 2.8x performance per watt.

AMD dont lie about architecture like nVidia do.

Dont hurt me :D
 
Lol i dunno whats sadder, AMD removing the slide, or someone actively trolling these forums with news like this just to stir up controversy...

Seriously mate, no one really cares, you need to get a life.

Do not take it personally. People like you were posting and spamming all day of Async slide of Nvidia and showing legacy product pages.


People like you will blame Nvidia for removing the page ,which AMD claimed the Polaris efficiency and in your world it was nvidia who said Polaris is 2.8X efficient.

It is Nvidia fault that page has been removed.
 
Can AMD legally do this after such a claim?? Sales under a false pretense? Just wondering tbh

I know nVidia have done similar with their 'Async' claim on Maxwell...
 
Still here:

http://www.amd.com/en-us/press-releases/Pages/radeon-rx-480-2016jun29.aspx

and up to 2.8x the performance/Watt over AMD's Radeon R9 200 series graphics architecture.

They say R9 200 series - that means anything from a R9 280 to a R9 295X2.

They covered their arses with that one:

TPU gives around 2X the performance/watt over the R9 280X and if you want to use PR bumpf sneaky examples:

https://tpucdn.com/reviews/AMD/RX_480/images/power_bluray.png

Thats a 2.3X improvement.

Not that I would want to believe anything AMD or Nvidia PR says.

Its cunningly word - "upto 2.8x" too, not "2.8x".

In fairness Si, those claims of 2.8X performance per watt are clearly wrong and whilst people like me and you don't care, having seen how people reacted to the 970, there clearly is people who do care about false advertising. My first comment was tongue in cheek sarcasm and making light of this thread but truthfully, people will be kicking off about this.
 
If AMD is indeed in the wrong here am sure they will pay for just like Nvidia did with the false advertising on the 970..

I think AMD might have got away with this one though will need to check some the slides again but if like CAT said up TO 2.8x then they not in the wrong.

Polaris is a new graphics architecture incorporating exciting features and improvements for virtually every area of a Radeon™ graphics chip. Look forward to: increased levels of performance, smooth VR, seamless support for next-gen gaming monitors and CPU-free game streaming or recording.



Cool Efficiency

The Polaris architecture precisely combines the latest FinFET 14 process and AMD’s advanced power, gating, and clocking technologies. Together, these features have improved the power efficiency of the Radeon™ RX 400 Series by up to 2.8X for a cool and quiet gaming experience.
Cool-Architecture





4th-Generation GCN

Versatile asynchronous compute, updated shader engines, enhanced memory compression and new geometry capabilities enable incredibly efficient support for DirectX® 12, Vulkan™ and VR in the best version of Graphics Core Next yet.
4-GCN-2



AMD FreeSync™ Technology

Every PC gamer knows how incredibly smooth gaming can be at a steady 60+ FPS. Now you can have that low-latency experience at virtually any framerate with AMD FreeSync™ monitors.
FreeSync-1



Premium Game Streaming

Radeon™ RX 400 Series GPUs based on the Polaris architecture are a dream for anyone that’s serious about streaming and recording their favorite games: 4K, H.265, 60 FPS, virtually no performance impact. Need we say more?



HDR Ready

High Dynamic Range (HDR) is a state-of-the-art technology for gamers and cinephiles that care deeply about the display quality of their TV or monitor. Modeled after the acuity of human vision, HDR vastly expands the range of colors and contrast ratios that can be shown by compatible displays. HDR-ready games and movies played on an HDR display appear strikingly sharp, colorful, and vivid, with enhanced contrast and sophisticated nuance compared to even the most stunning SDR content.

Next-Generation Display Engine

Radeon™ GPUs with the Polaris architecture support HDMI® 2.0b and DisplayPort™ 1.3 for compatibility with a new generation of monitors that would make any gamer excited: 1080p 240Hz, 1440p 240Hz, 4K 120Hz—even 1440p ultrawide at 190Hz.



VR Ready for the Masses

Polaris-powered Radeon™ GPUs are engineered to provide premium VR experiences starting at just $199 USD. The Polaris architecture provides the ideal combination of low latency, smart software and powerful compute that enables a silky smooth virtual reality experience.



GPUOpen

GPUOpen represents AMD’s total commitment to open source code to enable developers with the tools to make games look better and run better for PC gamers everywhere. Radeon™ GPUs with the Polaris architecture are born to speed through a diverse selection of beautiful GPUOpen game effects: TressFX Hair, GeometrFX, ShadowFX, AOFX, SSAA, Forward+ and more.

Ready for AMD XConnect™ Technology

Should a PC gamer on the go buy a gaming notebook that’s tough to carry, or a thin notebook that’s tough to game on? AMD XConnect™ unlocks the best of both worlds on systems designed for Thunderbolt™ 3 eGFX enclosures—an ideal form factor for fast and efficient Polaris-powered GPUs.

However,if you look at the new 404 page it seems to be a different style,than the old one,so it might be in the process of being updated.

Not sure why the OP was latching onto the one part of the webpage when it was all gone and there was a similar thread elsewhere at a similar time too.

OTH,the page is still up there on another part of the website:

http://www.amd.com/en-gb/innovations/software-technologies/radeon-polaris

The http://www.amd.com/en-gb/innovations/software-technologies/radeon-polaris is still up but the http://radeon.com/polaris-architecture/ is down and could be in the process of being updated??

Did NV claim upto 4GB on the 970.

They won't have to pay anything as all they have to say is undervolt it which will presumably allow for the 2.8 claimed while still running stock clocks. It's a different situation to the ramgate incident. At the end of the day any and every company will stretch the truth as much as they can. They all do it.
 
It wouldn't surprise me if AMD used one of the partner cards with very poor performance/watt - for instance in the TPU graph,the RX480 reference card is twice the performance/watt of a stock R9 280X and 2.3X the performance/watt when running Blurays.

However,the MSI R9 285,consumes more power than the R9 280X and is slower,and they could have used a card like that even so its a bit sneaky and they have used the "up to" moniker which is cunning.
 
I'm not sure this even matters, 99% of this forum are NVIDIA users now anyway, no competition from AMD for the 1070, 1080 and Titan XP means than the majority of enthusiasts are now on NVIDIA, where they'll likely stay for the future.

I still hope Samsung find a way to buy AMD, or to buy Radeon Technologies Group from AMD, so that they can have some real cash to compete with NVIDIA. If that doesn't happen, I don't think we'll be talking about AMD for too long.
