Problem is GF don't seem quite as competitive even using the same node as other foundries - AMD may need to go elsewhere to be truly competitive again :s

GF must be giving AMD a very competitive price given AMD resigned a wafer agreement with them (last year I believe) that AMD is happy to sacrifice a bit of performance that they would have gained from TSMC node.

I wonder if HBM becomes hard to hold of if AMD will ask GF to start manufacturering it? It could be a way of using up any surplus supply it's wafer agreement.

They didn't forfeit, they ran out of money because people didn't buy their cards.

Just wondering, which ryzen CPU do you own?

Looking at getting one of the bug Threadripper CPUs by the end if the year. Some of my work should perform nicely on Ryzen and I need all the cores I can get. Mostly I'm working in AWS but sometime snice.tonrun some tests locally
 
Someone noticed recently that the Specint tests were being run at native resolution instead of their usual internal of 1900*1060

so it was actually rendering the tests at 4k instead of the standard, so you can't directly compare with current spec view benches as they were all run at the lower internal resolution.

So many people saying it's GF fault that Polaris needs so much power whereas it's AMDs great design that Ryzen is so efficient. Just strange that they both are on the same process and in one case it's gfs fault and in the other case amd is so good. I would say the process isn't as bad as people try to make it, else Ryzen wouldn't be so good. It's just that the GPU Design isn't great.

Lol, was not you the last time you posted hoping AMD would die?

It wasn't the last time but i do remember when he thought AMD were going to be well on top through 3dmark scores i believe. It turned out the numbers he had were crossfire scores. It does look like Vega will be fast but i still think it will be 1080ti like performance and won't be ahead. I really hope i am wrong though as with Ryzen and a strong Gpu line up things will be looking good competition wise and prices might start to go down.
