| JEMC said: The new memory is cool and with AMD having access to it a year ahead of Nvidia could prove to be very good asset on its favor (and I say could because the 970/980 is faster than the previous cards while having a lower bandwidth than them). But to me the interesting (and hard to believe) part is where they say that the 380X will be Nvidia's 970/980 competitor and 20nm like the 390X. Don't get wrong, I'd love if this is true, but then why did AMD looked for a liquid cooling solution for them? |
Afaik now we have the memory power budget added to the graphics chip power budget on the same place. You can use less total power and have more power per square centimeter, so you need to extract that energy faster.
