Report: First AMD 28nm GPU Due in December

[de5_Roy]

if amd gets it right (less worried about their gpus..more worried about their driver support) a raedon hd 7850 with 90watt tdp might be a very good deal.

[citation][nom]greghome[/nom]Higher Demand but not enough supply makes prices go up ......you've really got to read about Economics 001 : Why you can sell coke @100USD if no one else have it[/citation]

hmmm... Economics 001, what the heck is that? you mean 101... anyone ever had cooking 001?

i see x86 addressing...CPU engineers love GPU engineering. so they leave there bulldozer job behind.kekekeke

nVidia is only shipping samples....

We know very little about Kepler and it's details. An article on a GPU we know close to nothing about shipping as samples is a bit vague. Tom's already had a post about the 7000 series' specs. I would like to see what Nvidia will be doing.

When will Nvidia crush you?

 

[Cazalan]

The Money I saved for Zambezi will go to one of these!

Other reasons for limiting availability is the old marketing trick of limiting to create demand. Sort of the old "limit one per customer" routine. Another is to limit inventory exposure if the product fails.

AMD has been sending samples since half a year.

[citation][nom]laxduck26[/nom]Prices increase when demand increases in the short run because of limited supply. In the long run increased demand will lower prices when the market adjusts to increase overall production and takes advantage of economies of scale, but in the short run economies of scale in production cannot be realized and prices will be bid up by demanders for the limited supply of a good.[/citation]

Let's apply this capitalistic myth about mysterious competition to the situation when we have only 1 supplier, shall we?

Maybe we should apply it to the stuff produced by Movie/Music indurstry? With many suppliers, there must be some sort of competition right? Oh wait...

But maybe Pepsi vs Cola? Cola drink costing 50-80% more than directly pressed apple juice sounds just about right, right?

 

[scrumworks]

So based on bolding, this news is less important than nvidias new nerd glasses?

 

[cmartin011]

good just come out already! then my upgrade will be done before bf3 comes out!

 

[back_by_demand]

AMD wont fail with the HD7000, after all it is really still ATI in everything apart from name.

 

[jdwii]

do something to help us forget about the epic bulldozer failure. Try not to stay quiet for so long this time.

 

[fyasko]

[citation][nom]BlackHawk91[/nom]"TSMC reportedly increased its pricing for 28nm products as it noticed substantially higher demand" I'm not an expert but, with a higher demand shouldn't prices drop?[/citation]

not to be a jerk but if supply is high and demand is low = lower prices

if supply is low and demand is high = higher prices...

That is correct, basic law of supply & demand 101.

 

[cyberkuberiah]

lets see if i'll upgrade from my HD5850 'Evergreen' series card 😛

 

[CaedenV]

cant wait for the new cards on both sides of the aisle. I am still running my 9800 and it is really showing it's age. Hopefully with the die shrinks and emphases on power efficiency I will be able to get a high end card with the same or lower wattage, but 3x the performance? But then again I will need a board that goes faster than PCIe1.1 😛

 

[kikireeki]

Hopefully, it won't be slower than the previous generation, or will it be?

 

[spp85]

without ATI's support AMD would be DOOMED with there crap CPU's. AMD survives solely because of ATI's GPUs sales..........

 

[sayantan]

Doomed!!!I don't see it doomed anyway.According to an ex-amd engineer the BD fiasco is only due to lack of fine tuning accompanied with a delayed launch.The future generations of BD would be much more competitive.Also lets not forget the APUs which is the hottest product in mobile and mid end desktop segment.

[eklipz330]

i know theyre gonna release midrange first, but with the inclusion of the xdr2 memory on the higher range cards... i think we should wait... *fingers crossed*

 

[youssef 2010]

[citation][nom]quangluu96[/nom]LMAO, i doubt it will fail like bulldozer :3, comon AMD i like ur gpu, but i don't have enough trust..[/citation]

The last release can shake everybody trusting AMD. But at least it's on the same performance level as Nvidia.I expect AMD will be just fine in the GPU market

[citation][nom]ghnader hsmithot[/nom]When will Nvidia crush you?[/citation]

Nvidia released a driver that fried its GPU. AMD never did that. Nvidia can't crush AMD. It still needs 2 GPUs to enable 3D while AMD needs only one card. Nvidia's GTX 295 couln't play some games at2560x1600 because it had the very weird "896 MB". This was plain cheap on Nvidia's side. AMD was also the first company to incorporate DDR5 on it's GPUs. AMD also enabled CrossfireX without requiring any additional hardware components while Nvidia needs two nForce 200 bridges to enable Four-way SLI. AMD enables Eyefinity on most of it's cards supporting 3-6 monitors dependnig on the card model. Nvidia on the other hand needs two cards in SLI to support more than 2 monitors. AMD GPUs also consume less power than Nvidia in most cases and lets's not forget the review where 2 HD6950s decimated 3 GTX570s. I have a great respect for AMD even if they don't have PhysX and a proprietary 3D driver.
