Vega/Navi Rumors (Updated)

It needs more ALUs, but what people forgot is that 1060 cores are clocked at much higher clocks. A clock that sometimes goes much higher (up to 2050mhz) in boost mode. Then ALU advantage is not really that big at all, when other runs at 50%+ higher clock. In the end, what cannot be overstated...

Not really. Contrary to popular belief, ATi had better cards with 9xxx series, X800 series and x1800 series. Didn't win them redacted. As I said, I worked as student at retail (6-7 years ago). Literally no one recomended ATi. Not because they knew something, its because it was Nvidia and...

Yet they didn't really succeed. Even with HD4xxx,HD5xxx, HD6xxx series, when they were on equal footing and they didn't succeed. Why? Because Nvidia sold more GPUs even with worse performance, price and performance per watt. They had three of a kind. Even now, when AMD is in bad state, strapped...

Guys you cannot compare different benchmarks, on different levels, with different CPUs (this one running Ryzen). No body knows how fast it is, but it appears to be faster then GTX1080 (judging by same level compared in yt).

ATi cards were always looked at as inferior, no matter of their performance. Best selling cards in ATi 9xxx and Nvidia FX generation were actually FX cards. They were much bigger, louder, hotter and slower yet they where cards to get here, when in performance ring, it was no contest. They were...

Its still faster chip. With more memory, more TFLOPs and cheaper price. It uses 40W more? Well that sucks, but it sucks more if AMD wants to deliver the goods in laptop. If I'm building budget gaming PC I'll take faster card that is more future proof. BTW, the biggest issue with perf per watt...

ZEN ES Benchmark from french hardware Magazine

Fairly mediocre chip? How? It comes from company completely strapped for cash that was on verge of bankrupcy a year ago, yet it easily rivals best mid range option from Nvidia. Its cheaper, its currently faster in 2016 titles and has considerable advantage in new APIs. It might have worse perf...
