Please enlighten me in your infinite wisdom as to how dedicated DP units are used when a GPU performs graphics processing? Because in the majority they aren't and remain inactive but still using power. Hence Dark Silicone as it is silicone that is not being used.

Using silicone instead of silicon taking your words out of context gives them an entirely different meaning (if somewhat infantile of me).

NVidia demonstrates first dark silicone model

Unfortunately tech journalists are unimpressed as it is nothing new.

"not cheap" != "premium"

She actually said "competitive".

Not cheap, not budget, competitive with nVidia.

And so what does that mean? Rivaling their perf, and rivaling their price.

If you think AMD, after all these "not a budget solution" quotes, are going to massively undercut nVidia prices for comparable GPUs... well, prepare for disappointment.

All the signs are there; it's not my fault if you don't want to interpret them.
