Amd Volcanic Islands details

[hurleybird]

by few sites, measured gpu from leaked Picture is aroun 420mm2, by the few days old interview, it is too around 420mm2

Seems like a lot of people are measuring it quite a bit larger than that, like this guy on the AT forums.

The Tahiti board is closer to the camera in that shot. I compared the size of the memory chips on both boards twice to be safe and Tahiti's were larger both times. Your comparison photo is flawed.

[cowie]

Does it look like the core is still resessed i cant tell?
I really hate that and would hope that its flat on these.

PS. it seem all my info here was true, my source was great this time, 512-bus, 2560-2816 SPs for gaming SKU, Titans performance

You were bouncing all over the place... even within this last week you were not very well informed.

LordEC911 - blah blah, it is absolute nonsense. On 28nm is impossible to make a bigger chip then Tahiti. it would not be cost-effective

no new VGAs on E3, no new Radeons before end of this year!

whats ive heard, will be launched sooner then october and highest one-gpu model beats Titan

ok, it can be maximaly 2560 SPs, 40 ROPs, same number of TEX units. Same memory capacity, bus, clocks maybe
with the same GPU clock as HD 7970 GHz, it can be +20-25 percents performance above Radeon HD 7970 GHz in best case

Hawaii die has +/- 440 mm, with 40CU blocks, 384-bit mem, 6GB mems and IT IS made on 28nm node.

no new leaks? Ok, i can start ...

Hawaii:
Node: 28nm
GPU size around 470-480 mm2
DP Ratio 1:2
TDP higher then 250W for highest SKU
.
.. to be continued

Yes, in first gaming SKU "D9" will be only 384-bit mem controller.

few pages back is my info about 470-480 mm2 of hawaii chip

it is bull, if its Hawaii die size = GK110 - 30 percents, has the same die size like Tahiti, no more SPs, no more ROPs, it cant be true

i wish because with that die size cannot compete with GTX 780 or Titan

Cant tell on this photo. But there's more place and not the angle corner.

Nice summary there. I must say "owned"

[Tha Last Meal]

At first glance, I think it's a good card but I am not interested at all because i have the new Monster HD 7990 in my case
But I think the price is high? right.

HD 7970 GHz Edition= $500
R9 290X= $650

I think we've seen these results before but thank you Olivon

A bit early for discuss the price... i have see some speaking about 599$ ( launch price ).

But the latest information according to videocardz

One other thing. The fastest Radeon R9 290X might cost $650 USD, that’s the latest information on the price.

[Tha Last Meal]

Aha Thanks

[Lanek]

But the latest information according to videocardz

Follow the link of Olivon ....

I dont know the price myself... so i cant say it is one or the other.. just saying price differ depending the source.

LordEX91 - i have better ones to you:

no, Hawaii is still on 28nm, but more SPs and higher clocks will reach Titans performance level (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...=1#post5201760)

ahh, see. OK, it can be specs of "Pro" version maybe, successor of HD 7950.Because i thought full chip is only for Professional graphics. Full hp has 44 CUs, but who knows if will be in gaming SKU? (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...=1#post5203199)

and some members here can prove, i have 2816/176/512-bit info from august - thru the PM debates, but who cares ... your are better:

~440-480mm2 and roughly the same clocks, maybe a bit lower, should be enough and many, many more nonsense from you here, as always and in all threads.

Nonsense? How so?
Is it not accurate?

Only one to say that AMD was releasing a new GPU this year after the Feb interview (Q/A) and that Kaveri will show this year after all those delay rumors.

Saw my post in that link mentioning they should be able to eek out ~30% more performance at roughly the same power. I thought the die would be bigger though, 420mm for those specs seems small.

[zalbard]

No way these bandwidth numbers are correct for Hawaii. Should be higher...

And I am guessing this TDP is for 800Mhz core clock. I really wish both companies stopped this boosting nonsense. Marketing...

Also, it's sad to see that $650 USD is the new norm. Remember 5870 was sold for 399? 4870 was sold for 299...

Exactly.

[Iconyu]

But the latest information according to videocardz

It says it might cost $650, that chart has ~ and ? on it, what makes you think the number after the $ symbol is any more accurate?

[Tha Last Meal]

maybe will be 320 GB/s??

I agree with you

Also, it's sad to see that $650 USD is the new norm. Remember 5870 was sold for 399? 4870 was sold for 299...

probably in the near future we will see a Graphics card (single-GPU) cost you $800-1000$

[Lanek]

It says it might cost $650, that chart has ~ and ? on it, what makes you think the number after the $ symbol is any more accurate?

I believe they have take the 780 price and transfer it.. and there's a good reason, from a market perspective, if its faster, AMD could have think they can adapt their price to the market .
Now, the 780 and 770 have not really sold well, and AMD could have a sweet spot price around 600$, in reality, its most likely 599 $ .. a nice sweet psychological spot..
Then they could decrease the price to 550$ and certainly still got decent margin.

The second thing is AIB will come with their own models really quick after this release ( mid october for what i have heard here and there, maybe some even faster ), so dont charge to much on reference cards, the non reference cards will not hit the 700$ line .. ( 599$ reference cards.. 629 to 659$ for non reference ).

The third thing is Nvidia could react pretty fast and decrease the 780 price.

The word 'might' in your quote...

I think it will work the same way as with 7970 / GTX 680. Nvidia will drop prices following AMD's new release, just like AMD dropped price of 7970 when GTX 680 came out. Hopefully!
