[EDIT]hmmm.....whats going on at AMD? (and history of 3Dfx Rampage)

It's not bad, really - at just over half of the power consumption

Its' performance per watt is almost dead even with a Titan X.

Massive 28nm die, Budget 14nmFF die......

You are correct, it isn't bad, it is an embarrassment to bipeds.

At least, it's thanks to AMD that NV is probably going to price GTX 1060 at $279 or so.  If not for AMD's competition, NV would price it $50 higher ($329) or something like that, as it'd probably trade blows with GTX 980 (NV's own competition).  

AMD lied before about Bulldozer's 2 billion trannies when it had only 1.2 billion..  This track-record of lying isn't going to stop until AMD really gets sued hard for it.  Perhaps the 2.8x increase in efficiency for 14nm vs 28nm is when AMD designs a new uarch generation on the same 14nm lithography, desperately undervolts and underclocks it way lower than any 28nm cards before it, and call it an RX Mini-Nano using the same Nano cooler, but with the fan running at 4000rpm?  Geez, AMD, your 14nm so far is more lackluster in comparison to 28nm than 28nm is in comparison to 40nm (which was a half-node shrink rather than a full-node shrink).
