Is it possible Fury X is running into limitations with its 4GB RAM?

It's obviously broken on AMD if the Fury X is performing around a 480 and lower than a 1060. Epic is completely in bed with Nvidia and wouldn't give AMD the time of day.

Still, the misleading story was all over the internet for three days and there's no way people at AMD didn't know about that. And yet no one bothered to set the story straight until now. Even with a gutted PR department, that's pretty lame.

Wow! We were all told by how many tech sites that there was something coming from RR about Project Win in three days, and on the day it's supposed to happen, *that's* when they tell us it's internal only!? Those staff cuts to PR must really be deep if no one could be bothered to clear things up...

The day is half over and nothing yet on "Project Win". Perhaps the announcement will be delayed like everything else that comes from AMD. :D

Why would Nvidia want to merge with AMD? Their CPUs suck; incredibly BD is a step backwards compared to Phenom, and I highly doubt we'll see much improvement. The only good stuff from AMD these days are Radeons, which for Nvidia are redundant for graphics and behind in GPGPU.

I was thinking the same thing. Probably the person who thought of the idea and who was going to distribute the questions to the various departments and collect the answers is gone.

The module design aspect works pretty much as advertised. The problem is awful single thread performance (which indirectly slows multi-thread performance). If they took out the second integer unit from the module, it would still make for a pretty crappy 4-core CPU.

:rolleyes:

Anybody originally from ATI (whether still there or not) must rue the day AMD bought them.

Just keep those expecations really low!

Higher clocks would've helped but the design or its implementation was lacking. Even with higher clock speeds than its predessor, it often fails to beat it. The only reason it beats the 1100T at anything is because they threw more cores at it. When the per-core performance goes down even farther...

Does Piledriver fix any of the supposed cache latency and write-bandwidth shortcomings?

Does using partially-depleted SOI over bulk still bring any meaningful performance or power benefits?

How many stages is the pipeline?
