So 8pack must have been on about this?

If it is to be made at GF, perhaps it will be on 28SHP or FDSOI. Improvements from a more refined process would stack nicely with a reworked Hawaii and easily beat 980.

Makes me wonder even more about Pirate. With this news the only real option would be 16FF+ unless GF magically pull something out of their arses.

Yeah, GCN Hawaii 28nm with AIO, beast performance to take on 980 and still run cool. That's a good move imho.

At this point I don't care what node is next just want them to get on it as soon as possible !!

Tbh Boom, you change kit more often than a normal person changes their underwear.:D

Iirc you had a corking 4790k, few weeks later your on X99. Keeping track of your upgrades is like chasing a greyhound on one leg.:D

Haha, I like trying all the latest stuff bud, I was always gonna go to X99 the 4790K was something to play with until then. I'll be on this X99 setup until 2016 now, with a broadwell -E drop in upgrade later on. So that's not gonna be changed anytime soon lol.

Yes, 8gb cards or 6 minimum are a must for next gen imo. Im still on Z87 with a 4790k at 4.7ghz, spare rig is an old i7 930 at 4.3ghz. Yes ive been tempted by X99 but id have to go 6 core/12 thread to justify it. 5820k just doesnt offer that much more than a decent clocked 4790k despite its heat issues. Card wise, yes im starting to regret my decision to stick x2 windforce 780's in sli. Especially in the board in sig. Cracking board from a tweaking/overclocking point of view, but poor for sli. But it looks fantastic.

5820K is 6 core / 12 thread. Performance is a fair step up from 4790K, even with a small overclock it's in 4960X territory. Not bad for the price. Next year will throw in an 8 core Broadwell E monster :D

780's are nice cards, ride them out until we get a die shrink imho. Saying that we haven't seen big Maxwell yet, even on 28nm that's likely to be a monster and hard to resist :p
 
Ahh, my mistake on 5820k there. I do like haswell despite the heat issues, (ive owned 3 hw i7's) and they do cope quite well with dual sli. But as ive never owned an amd card, im curious as to what their next offering will bring. 290/x are very impressive, yes they use a bit more power, run hot but im an ex nvidia 470 sli user so im used to theese things. Besides, this is overclockers forums, not greenpeace. We dont take power use into account, heck once you oc that go's out the window.:D

A overclocked 980 is no where near as fast as overclocked 7950s I think you will find.
Check the firestrike thread: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18485414

The only way one 980 will beat two 7950s is with liquid nitrogen

Here is the top water cooled 980 overclocked


Heres my 7950s on Air overclocked


Look at the graphics scores btw, talking about gpus here not the cpu or combined scores.. a 980 averages out at 15500 by looking at peoples results, two 7950s average out at 16750 graphics score.

So like I say only way to beat the graphics score of two 7950s overclocked is to overclock a 980 with liquid nitrogen etc, but ofc in gaming, it depends on how well the game scales with crossfire, but raw performance a 980 cannot beat 2x 7950s.

What? Why pick the top water cooled one?

Top two air cooled 980's:

15103. GFX Score 16712. 980. Air cooled. Physics Score 23263. CPU 5960X @ 4.862 Water cooled - MJFrosty - Link
14331. GFX Score 16225. 980. Air cooled. Physics Score 17760. CPU 5820K @ 4.5 Water cooled - UKSoldierboy - Link

They are quite close, all things considered and as you say with xfire scaling in games etc I would be willing to bet the 980 would give you just as "fast" a gaming experience, if not a faster one.

Just as an opposing example. The highest 980 score in the Heaven 4 bench thread is higher than the highest CF7950 score.

For the sake of argument, why not include the top aircooled 7950 score?

14016. GFX Score 18384. 7950. Air cooled. Physics score 12920. CPU 2700K @ 5.1 Water cooled - LtMatt - Link

Anyway, I agree that they're close enough to not make a fuss and real world application obviously depends on how well the game in question scales.
I would also say that Heaven is heavily in favour of nvidia, so I don't think that really has any bearing :)

According to Read, AMD was going to stick with 28nm for 2015 across the majority of its product lines except for two very specific segments that he mentioned by name. These were and I quote “some of the PC and embedded space” and “high-end graphics”. For those two, AMD will be using a “cutting edge” manufacturing process rather than 28nm. And I happen to know that Project Skybridge APUs are the ones that Rory Read was referring to in relation to the embedded and PC space, since AMD has made it public that those will be manufactured on a 20nm process , very likely by GlobalFoundries. Now the only question is which “cutting edge” process exactly is Rory referring to for “high-end Graphics”?


If Fiji is a Q1 2015 product, which it’s rumored to be, FinFETs are very plausible, especially if AMD decides to be an early adopter on the “cutting edge” as Rory put it. We know Globalfoundries has already begun volume production of 14 LPE and will begin volume production of 14nm LPP in Q1 2015. Samsung already has both flavors of 14nm in volume production. We also know that it will be making 14nm chips for AMD. Which can explain why AMD is notably missing from TSMC’s 16FF+ partners list. Especially since AMD was on the list for 28nm back in 2011.

So they could be GloFo 20nm in Q1 2015 and Samsung 14nm in Q1 2016.
