What I want is a APU with Hybrid memory cube technology.
Make the apu a 150watt+ monster, 50watt+ tpd CPU, with 100watts+ tpd for the gpu portion.

Sell it with a water cooler solution. Im guessing around the 250$ or so (the apu alone)?
I think Id be happy with that. Question is if AMD can do something like that.

thb why even bother selling 2gb cards?

games don't need more in mid details/1080p and that's what the 370 cards are for

but graphics cards manufacturers will surely supply 370 models with larger video ram, the 2GB is just the base model


Well GTA5 already needs more than 2GB. And thats a crossgen game and its a good port.

What will happen to mediocre /bad ports of  current gen only games?

Thats why I am asking.    I mean the crappiest $30 cards from 2010 or so had 1GB of memory. Cheap laptops with their super low end GPUs have up to 2GB of memory so idiots think "wow so many GB? must be good".  I dont understand why they didnt just start with at lest 3GB.

as I said, graphic card manufacturers can and will supply 4GB or 8GB models,especially if those are in higher demand than the 2GB base model of the 370s - AMD designed it around 2GB, because that's the amount that makes sense for this chip

for 3GB the GPU might need a 192 or 384bit memory bus to use it effectively

Thanks, first time I've put real effort into it.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

Good news. I might just get one of the new Excavator FX processors later this year, depending on the pricing and performance. Same goes for the Rx300 GPU's. Hopefully AMD will bring back the Never Settle bundle when  Rx300 releases.

With GTA V already released and Nvidia having The Witcher 3 and Batman, what can AMD offer?

Although given their past relationship, they could partner with EA and Dice and offer Battlefront. That could be a good push for them in the Xmas period.



Please excuse my bad English.

Yeah, I meant this Holiday season, I'm hoping that AMD will get some of the Holiday releases for Never Settle. Battlefront seems like a possibility given the previous AMD/EA relationship for Battlefield 4. Nvidia will likely get AC Victory thsi Holiday season since they got the past few AC games.

But there's still someone on PC who cares for AC after Unity?

Then they can double-dip and present both massive server issues and driver issues in one neat package!!!

Hopefully Zen puts AMD back in the game as far as IPC goes. Intel needs a competitor for gaming applications in my opinion.

I feel both Intel and nvidia need a swift kick up the ass in terms of competition, I really want to see Nvidia price down their 900 series before years end and intel to either step up a new affordable CPU or lower the prices of their latest because so far both are more expensive with little gains as far as things are going at the moment.

If AMD gets it right I could see myself going with both an AMD CPU/GPU combo, especially if nvidia/intel refuse to budge and ride it out foolishly.



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"

Yeah, all intel really needs to do is make something unlocked in between their i3's and i5's in price. Maybe an overclockable i3 would be cool.

Unless they really beat Nvidia in Performance/watt, then i am going to support it. Even if i pay more then Nvidia i don't mind. Ati card also tend to get warmer then Nvidia, so they need an efficient card, while maintaining performance.
