Here's hoping.

yes if true that is really will be a nice gpu but if it is at 1000usd segment doesn't mean a good thing to us.
is compute unit numbers placed wrong?
Too late to stop people buying 700 series right? Or is it late enough to be another upgrade after 700 series?
:D

I call fake.
Opteron APU? Certainly not VI with a DDR3 memory interface.
That is why some people do, I agree.
What I was replying to though is "No one is buying Titans" and as a guy who's been trying very hard to resist the urge to do so, I can say a. they go in and out of stock daily, everywhere b. I see a lot of people on forums with them.
My personal "I won't support a $1000 GPU" protest is apparently meaningless as they seem to be selling all they can make.
"Maybe Q4 13" is a weak attempt to do that.
My guess is most people in the market for a card in Q2 13 will not see this and say "Holy cow! I'd better wait to see what AMD may have up their sleeves in Q4!". Too far off, and still just a rumor.
If I was running the show at AMD, I would have launched a 7970 GHz+ edition with a water block and closed loop HSF for $600-$650 as a stop gap product. No CFx worries, if you can add 10% to the GHz edition performance you've got a product firmly between the 680 and Titan, likely to be not far below Titan LE.
I'd buy that card.
First batch of Hawaii is already out of the oven btw.
20nm or 28nm?
hmm I am skeptical about that, even at 20nm 4k SPs would make quite a huge die.
I didn't get any info on that, never saw any specs. Just that "it exists!".
Sounds right to me. Sounded like there were very few hardware bugs though, so it should only need A2 and then be good to go. By the end of the year I would think. Nothing ASAP.
Completely impossible at 28nm with the 64rop and 512 bit memory. Even tough at 20nm. AMD graphics haven't ever been that big and getting a working chip like that fully enabled might seem impossible for them to do at this point. Also AMD has been more in the business of making their shaders larger but with a higher utilization, hences its modest shader increase for the last 2 generations.
Doubling up shaders, might not do them much good if they are not utilized.
When has that website ever been taken as credible? Its takes any remote rumor and turns it into a story that looks true. The only time they have been accurate is when they steal the information from some other website that has some credibility. They usually miss a dozen times before this happens.
I doubt this new core will have 4096SPs and 512bit memory interface.
They have had silicon in house for over a month now.
There are at least 3 plausible rumors floating around out there right now but with a key source keeping quieat it might be awhile until things get semi-confirmed.
FYI- They are/were targeting a ~60% increase over Tahiti.
If the 512 bit memory bus is true (Which I doubt) I wonder how much it would cost, and probably have have at least 4GB or even 8GB of VRAM.
it is absolutely impossible that VI will be launched this year on 20nm, maybe on 28nm
If 20nm they will be competing with Maxwell. Then it better be 4096 shaders and at least 60% faster than Tahiti...
With this news I'm not so sure I'll be getting what I was planning to get which was two 780s. I might just get one more 680 and wait until Maxwell...(benches and price will make that decision for me)
