Kepler Nvidia GeForce GTX 780

[tbone8ty]

It appears to be the only time they can win. Going to be a rough year for AMD on all fronts.

trinity will rock, vishera will hold its own, intel's crying in a corner over seamicro and radeon HD 7000 entire lineup is out, Amd stock up around ~$8.30 today and nvidia still is a no show and out at apple.

ill overclock a 7970 to 1200mhz and = a gtx 680 for $~100 cheaper and ill be able to get one like yesterday.

good luck getting a gtx 680 when it launches.

ok sorry rant done.

i personally cant wait for nvidia's answer and their software tweaks...

this pricing structure is getting out of control!!!

You're quite the optimist.

"intel crying in the corner over SeaMicro"?!



I've got some bad news for you: $140b company wiith 80% market share don't care what $5b company does. AMD exists because intel allows them to. All intel would have to do is lower preices a bit temporarily and AMD wouldn't sell a part on the planet. That is the sad reality of the cpu market.

I agree, considering seamirco was purchased for a little more than 300 million in the multi-billion dollar server world I'm just not seeing the impact from that, might was well be AMD bought a shaved ice popsicle stand.

If Intel decided to compete with raw pricing and priced at AMD's current levels deliberately I doubt AMD would be able to hold out very long with such skinny margins, thats just the reality of the situation.

There's no way Intel could totally stop AMD from selling product but there's no doubt Intel could squeeze AMD on it's margins very easily, especially with the fabing advantage.

If Kepler shapes up to anything like the hype all AMD's previous advantages over Nvidia as far as performance per mm2 and power consumption will largely be nullified with Nvidia possibly gaining the advantage all around and not just raw single gpu performance.

However I'm a wait and see kind of person, I'll believe it all when I see it.

The advantage of SeaMicro is the density and the power and cooling savings that it's has plus the fact that it has actual servers in the marketplace. There's nothing quite like it out in the marketplace right now and that's a huge advantage. The power and cooling advantage is so large right now that really Intel's pricing becomes irrelevant for the target customers of the SeaMicro servers.
