That's far closer to what it's going to be and I have no idea why people suspect otherwise.
Can anyone name a public event in which someone has done a review like in depth analysis up on stage of new hardware? Apple, Nvidia, AMD, Intel? ever?
Apple 'launch' an iPhone, they show it, show some videos of it in use, show some fancy marketing videos and give some specs, info, some "it will last 49.782x as long as the last crappy iphone you should totally throw away today".
Titan X 'launch' basically equated to a couple of images on a big screen and holding a card up while dear leader was saying it is the bestest thing in the universe ever.
How is a tech day with a couple people up on stage a good way to present the kind of information you read in your average lets say Anandtech review of a new gpu/architecture?
Again as with TItan X, expect the same event, here is this card, here are some basic specs, here is how much faster we think it is than our last card, here are the benefits, now lets look at a video of the next game we'll talk about. Then we get a specific media day for the specific card with probably some more information(but often under NDA... though a lot more will leak out at that point) then within a couple of weeks we get a proper review. This is how these 'launches' have happened for over a decade.
What I find hilarious is that a new Nvidia card is coming with little known about it, it launches in exactly the same way but there isn't some 300 page thread hyping it up saying it has to be X percent faster or must be cheaper than something else. There isn't AMD guys hyping it up and demanding certain features or performance levels nor demanding information. YOu get speculation but no over hyping.
With AMD launches the Nvidia guys spend literally months attempting to over hype it then declaring themselves disgusted with the lack of information the strange way AMD are being ultra quiet(though identical to Nvidia), talking up how the hardware must be epic then with any date of any AMD talk they insist it will be a full launch... then again get all fake angry at the lack of a launch. Then when it finally launches after 6 months of hype they created, they deem it a failure because it didn't live up to their 6 months of bullcrap.
I expect a normal launch to every AMD/Nvidia card before and the usual reaction from the Nvidia fanboys.
, I use whichever is fastest. Kappstad 'Fence sit' he is the same just likes to try the fastest, 4 of the fastest..
