Uh. What? It's a balancing act. So yes I am aware.
Why not? Even Pascals base clock is only around 1400Mhz, far from the 1800 I was talking about. It's a big step up from Maxwells 1000 Mhz, but not as huge as you make it out to be. They can clock faster, but the TDP is going up accordingly. This includes 2Ghz Models, just check their actual Power consumption. Hint: It's north of 300W in case of a 1080 (non-Ti) And in case you didn't get it yet, GCN was never meant for such high clock speeds. Vega is mostly clocked too high for it's own good to limit the distance between themselves and NVidia. It's the only way they could do it due to the hard limit of 64 CU with Vega. As a result the power consumption explodes. A Vega at 1200Mhz consumes much less than it does at 1400Mhz, where most consumer cards are clocked at. The Vega in the Ryzen APU is clocked less agressively and as a result, consumes much less power
The Xbox One X is using an older Polaris derived part. If Vega would be much faster than Polaris at same clock speed, I would agree. But a simulated Polaris at same clock speed is just marginally slower than Vega (though less powerhungry). There's a big reason why Vega is considered so disappointing.
False. And even then: You can see the L2 Cache, where do you think the L1 caches are? Yep, that's right: In the Compute Units. And the Graphics Pipeline in that diagramm is just the Front-end of a Compute Unit. What's marked with NCU are the cores of each Compute Units. |
