I would clarify that OC potential of top bin parts would demonstrate arch capability. OC potential of lower bins just indicates that yields are good enough that market factors are influencing the binning process rather than voltage/speed limitations.
Maybe AMD's problem is that other people are claiming that their products are better than they are. I don't see any firm performance indications yet from AMD concerning Bulldozer, save the magny cours comparison, so I don't see how it can be a big let down because it's not AMD who are getting...
Once the products are released, certainly. I'm not trying to suggest Intel are all furtive when it comes to architectural previews, as AMD used to be the same, but, perhaps as a result of needing to sow hope in a future product, AMD seem to have been a lot more willing to discuss architecture of...
Think about the timing - AMD has got most people talking very hard about a product that's not even going to be seen for some time (largely by being quite open about roadmaps and higher architectural designs). Intel could do with stealing a bit of the buzz and reminding people that there's...
I'm not sure if you meant to quote me when you gave this reply just below my quoted text, but if you did, I'm not sure that the ability to run extra monitors in tandem would make up for locked memory multipliers.
Good point :p But those cards need to offer high enough quality or free codecs...
Yes, waste of silicon.
I hope this video transcode thing is using the CPU rather than the IGP.. would be annoying to have to choose between unlocked memory frequencies and video transcode acceleration.
Okay I see what you mean. The next page of the preview clears it up by giving the default 480SP score:
default 480SP = X9815
default 512SP = X11371
Therefore gain is 15.85% at default (non-identical) clock speeds
Overclocked 512SP = X12173
and is therefore a gain of 24.02% over default...
Doesn't the link only show 17% improvement over the 480 after overclocking?
Ie, at the same clocks it's ~6% faster than a 480. At default clocks it's 9.6% faster than a 480. After overclocking it's 17.3% faster than a 480.
So 6870 might be roughly equal to an overclocked 512SP 480.
If they only skim off enough light for the AF module then more gets through to the sensor and they don't have to turn the gain up as much on the sensor. Given how dim some small cameras are when they give you 100% of the light they'd have to go with a very bulky and expensive prism system to...
