These crazy performance hype they are building up is dangerous. Now they are claiming that the performance is way better than the slides AMD leaked showing +65% over a 290x (aftermarket overclocked edition cause they told me it couldnt be reference). Way faster than 165% am aftermarket 290x????
The specs for a full fiji is 145% the cores of hawaii. I think expecting 100% scaling with just the core count increase is pushing it. I mean, it could be that fast and i am not saying it wont. But setting your expectations higher than 199% when the specs are merely 145% of hawaii..................
that is a huge mistake. These expectations are way way too high. If this is some sort of plan to hold off maxwell adoption, by whatever means. It is one of the most dangerous ways I can think of.
As for why fiji isnt here, it is really really simple. Respins.
A big concern of mine is if they are really going with glofo for the silicon. It just seems that TSMC would have a much more mature process. Glofo might actually end up with better grade chips. idk. But i can say that it is something i am interested in for sure.
And for the record, I actually want to see a very strong and great 390x. I would much rather see it best the titan X in every metric than for it to be a dud. I really hope the entire 300 series is really really strong. But i am afraid these expectations are getting really really out of control now.
