AMD Dives Deep On High Bandwidth Memory - What Will HBM Bring AMD?

http://www.anandtech.com/show/9266/amd-hbm-deep-dive

0fcScbr.jpg

Earlier this month at AMD’s 2015 Financial Analyst day, the company announced that they would be releasing their first HBM-equipped GPU – the world’s first HBM-equipped GPU, in fact – to the retail market this quarter. Since then there have been a number of questions of just what AMD intends to do with HBM and just what it means for their products (is it as big of a deal as it seems?), and while AMD is not yet ready to reveal the details of their forthcoming HBM-equipped GPU, the company is looking to hit the ground running on HBM in order to explain what the technology is and what it can do for their products ahead of the GPU launch later that quarter.

Surely this is wrong, the 390/390X wouldn't be 4GB would they?
They'll be marketed as 4K cards but AMD's AMDMatt has already shown that at 3820x2160 there are some games that need more than 4GB.

Also seems a bit unusual for either side to release new cards with the same amount of VRAM as the generation before (except for re-brands). Well since the GTX 480 & GTX 580 anyway.

4GB could make sense if it's HBM, something to do with the stack size of the HBM first revision. We could be looking at a HBM + 4096SP monster !!
 
Looking forward to the real deal next gen, plz no more 28nm. If the spec is legit may well be going back to team red. Just hope they get these out the door on time, if it's late will give Nvidia time to take advantage of market position, and simply drop in products to one up AMD. Although the advantage of that would be cheaper AMD cards, but I would prefer to see AMD lead in performance.

Pretty much set on a 390X for my next card, 20nm + HBM ftw !! :D

^^ Plus if it's HBM reduction in power consumption there as well. Now we have weeks / months of waiting with speculation until we finally get some confirmation of specs :p

I hope AMD get these out soon..

If the 390 or 390x released early next year, the guys going from 290/x to 970/80 I would hate to see there look on there face lol

I said it the other week AMD will be first to market with 20nm GPU's and there going to make a killing on them.

Not really, the guys who have bought 290X / GTX 980 obviously like high end GPU's and 290X has been around a while and the 980 since September, the quicker AMD drop something better Nvidia will respond and we get even more powerful hardware, everyone is a winner :D

Q1 will perfect, gives me ~6 months on GTX 980, will be itching for an upgrade by then.
 
shankly1985 said:
Am talking more about changing from a 290/x to 900 series.. = Already pointless upgrade gaming performance wise.
Click to expand...

Those are the type of buyer who are most likely to buy new hardware when it arrives. I don't think AMD / Nvidia cater to the frugal with their highest end GPU's. They want the guys who buy the latest and greatest, that's the exact market 390X and GM200 will be aimed at.
 
shankly1985 said:
Yeah! And there mostly the guys that like to Bench a lot and push numbers, there one who will be happy.. Am talking gaming performance, the normal PC gamer.. Like myself
Click to expand...

For the more frugal, newer cards will bring even more price drops to the current stack, so the normal gamer should be happy as well, but your original comment was about people who went from 290X to GTX 980. Those are high end cards !

So that same type of buyer will be happy to see more high end GPU's as soon as possible...

True dat and I don't. My geeky mate loves his 7950s and I spared a moment for him :D

Bring on the beasts and the wars shall resume :D

Lol, yeah we need to move on from 28nm now. The 980 is great n all, but it's been way to long on the same node. hopefully AMD's cards come sooner rather than later, and hopefully not on 28nm :p
 
Kitguru.net reporting on these benchy's now, these guys are getting slow, I beat them all :p

Advanced Micro Devices’ next-generation graphics processing unit is still several months away, but it looks like it is worth waiting. According to unofficial information from SiSoft Sandra benchmark’s database, the forthcoming GPU features unprecedented compute horsepower as well as uses multi-layer high-bandwidth memory with extreme bandwidth.
Click to expand...

With 4096 stream processors and amount of bandwidth never before seen on a single-chip graphics cards, the Radeon R9 390X will be the fastest graphics adapter on the market. In fact, with such extreme amount of stream processors, it will clearly leave behind any graphics solution based on Nvidia Corp.’s GM200 graphics processing unit.

One (conspiracy) theory I have heard is that NV knew all about Pirate Islands and priced the 9x0s aggressively to grub as much market share as they could while they could, as they knew they would be in trouble later.

Of course like I said above it's probably all BS.

No I don't think this. More likely Nvidia saw an opportunity to release another tier knowing AMD are months away from launching anything. They were already ahead with the 780 Ti and Titan's. Nvidia's profit margin on 970 / 980 will be large as they are still on 28nm (28nm being very very mature at this point), so they might not be priced as aggressively as they could be ;)

My best guess is that GM200 is lying in wait as a response from new AMD cards or saturation of 970 / 980 sales. Whichever comes first.

Nvidia have things sewn up tight atm. I hope AMD come out fighting with their new cards. HBM + 20nm would give AMD a tangible edge over Nvidia's cards. Especially if Nvidia is still using 28nm at that point.

Looking forward to round 2 of the GPU wars :D Just hope they include a die shrink !!
 
Every thread doesn't need to turn into a VS argument, AMD and Nvidia both make great cards. Nvidia are ahead now, since the 780 Ti and cemented with 970 / 980 but this will cause AMD to comeback strong. Competition is good.

I'll grab whatever is best, if AMD launch 20nm + HBM straight back to the red team.

This is the same guy that said a 295X full fat Hawaii was waiting in the wings.

Also is it Bermuda or Fiji the top SKU, it seems to change every time a new story is published.

Yeah few people said AMD had another high end card waiting to launch, wasn't there going to be a 285X as well. Maybe Maxwell could have altered AMD plans..

Pretty sure both new high end cards are gonna awesome.

Argue about which 5% is faster? :p

Lol :D

With 40% more SP's alone i would expect it to be at least 20% better than the 290X, with HBM it should be 30 to 50%

Can't wait to see what new ideas HBM unlocks for graphics, maybe even some AMD demos if we're lucky.
Click to expand...

Yeah looking forward to getting some info that we know is legit. HBM and all them shaders should be really good GPU performance. Interested to see if upcoming APU's get HBM as well, would give them a massive boost in performance, 4 CPU cores, 2GB HBM on chip and 768 shaders would be beast.
