I'm looking forwards to AM4 next year.. Next year could be an awesome year for AMD!

Let's hope so, competition is good.

So new GPU's are potentially R9 4XX series and 3XX series is OEM only. Also Zen / FX CPU are both using a unified AM4 platform.

Unveil of desktop GPU's is within next few weeks. So got some good info direct from AMD today. About time.

Now I need to go and get my Titan X on the MM

All looks very interesting lets just hope they can put it to good use.

From the article:

"One of the more relevant updates was the conversation of GCN based on 14/16nm FinFET and High Bandwidth Memory. CEO Lisa Su made it clear that today was not a product launch – it was more of a tech confirmation of what will be included in the upcoming flagship GPUs. Basically, sub 20nm node, HBM memory and one helluva launch are all that have been confirmed."

Did you guys catch that seasonal improvement of consoles for 2015?

Reading the between the lines and being somewhat hopeful I think we may see Xbox One / PS4 slim this year as well.

AMD have been busy !!

"Seasonal improvements in PCs/consoles", pretty sure (certain) that means in sales terms, if you compare it to "weak PC market" in 1H15. Tech sales traditionally ramp up in Q3 and Q4, compared to the first half.

"sub 20nm node (for 2016)"

Yeah think your right, I was thinking in terms of tech they were developing, but yeah that makes sense in relation to sales.

Well the 390x is happening, what will the 'it's never coming out' guys do now?

fs123 · 6 May 2015 at 20:15

Of course the sub 20nm is 2016 according to one of the slides.
I was really interested in the following:

"Lisa Su mentioned that the new architecture would be launching along with the flagship Radeon 300 Series products sometime in the next quarter, in the coming weeks"

we'll laugh at you for believing all that BS, it'll be another AMD flop

Some people just have no faith :rolleyes:

Come on, let's be realistic.. it'll turn up in September!

shankly1985 · 6 May 2015 at 20:22

Be another flop? What?

bru · 6 May 2015 at 20:25

E3 is still 6 weeks away (5w 6d), that's a bit more than the next few weeks.

But maybe now Guessing that AMD use a different calendar system explains why they cannot release drivers on time

Notice Windows 10 demand catalyst alongside New Product roadmaps. Means AMD are fully aware of capitalising on the launch of Windows 10 as a certain Mr Boomstick pointed out a few pages back.. **cough DM was wrong cough **

Timing / marketing is just as important as the product itself.

I was wrong because you made one argument which was silly then use an entirely different statement to back up your incorrect one?

Windows 10 being a catalyst for sales of PC's, which will have an effect on AMD's entire product stack, has NOTHING to do with what you claimed which was holding the 390x back for launch at the same time as Windows 10. These things aren't remotely connected.

This is a financial day, talking about reasons AMD made less money in the first half of 2015 and will make more in the second half. New products, and new PC sales because of a new Windows version. You're linking it all to one product launch despite not a single hint of that.

390x to launch THIS quarter, or June, Windows to launch in July or August IF it doesn't slip back.... in what way would this be AMD holding the 390x for the Windows 10 launch. You're theory is they have working products sitting there and are choosing to hold them to align the product with Windows 10... by launching 2 months earlier than Windows 10.

Sure, I was wrong and your theory makes so much more sense and has the added bonus of not being backed up by that slide in any way shape or form.

Where abouts on those slides did they mention a 390x specifically?

Nobody has said that cards were never coming out, it's just a lot of people have been expecting them earlier especially with the position they're in.

shankly1985 · 6 May 2015 at 20:33

If OEM is 300 series you would think 390x is 490x

Well if this is correct then the 390x may never happen

Yeah it definitely looks that way, like how HD 8000 series (OEM) came out a lil before the R9 2XX series. 3XX for OEM and 4XX for consumer retail desktop GPU seems likely.

Def exciting times next year, with die shrinks and new architecture, the GPU space will get a fresh start from top to bottom and finally see some nice progression over the following years. With HBM 2, rumoured to be capable of 1TB of bandwidth, imagine what comes later on :eek:
