^ For sure. I dont really see why anyone cares about Nvidia vs AMD.
I RAG ALL hardware!!! I have equal amounts of both.

You asking me?
If so its a photograph of the 290X necked silicon die,
its the GPU its self. it sits inside the metal square your GPU's cooler is clamped to.
Humbug you don't apparently know anything about chip layouts lol...
That's not a GPU, it's a CPU. Or more accurately a part of a CPU. It's a single AMD module without the L2 pictured. It's not quite bulldozer, piledriver or steamroller so it's most likely the next gen excavator.
Or a very well made fake.
But how you thought it was a GPU I have no idea...

It is a Steamroller core but who cares, I think Humbug was just having a bit of fun with the pic.

I googled Hawaii die picture in images and that's what came up, no Alatar I don't know what the Hawaii die actually looks like, I accept your correction but who cares
As Kaap said. its just a bit of fun.
Its from memory so I may well be out or confusing with press releases but I'm sure they were supplying Oakridge's titan before dec 2012.
My point about going early for their bigger core was in reference to AMD's approach. The economics work out for Nvidia to go earlier on a fab process with a large die design when they have the kind of market/customers who are willing to pay.
True, it is just some not particularly significant history.

Hmm if these cards come with lots of vram I may be tempted to update my 680, Been holding on and holding on for 20nm but getting to the stage now where im going to have to upgrade my CPU/mobo/ram and GPU all at the same time and thats just scary lol

TSMC have only just started 20nm in volume , so unless either of the players has jumped the gun and has a design in alpha ready to go - we wont see anything on 20nm this year - Apple and there buying power aside.
