    Crossfired APU expansion cards

    I was just reading the Anand article about the Radeon M200 Series and thinking how disappointing it was. Rebadges and GPUs which make current APUs look good. As was wondering what was the point of releasing such weak mobile GPUs and a commenter pointed out that they could work in dual mode...

    AMD A10-5800k

    None. The topic for this forum is Hardware and Technology, not Sales and Marketing, nor Finance and Investing. I've said my piece and will say no more about this.

    AMD A10-5800k

    You don't. That doesn't mean I want to talk about sales or financial data in the CPU and Overclocking sub-forum. Have that discussion somewhere that's actually relevant. That is of course if you really do want to discuss it and are not simply using it as an excuse because you can't counter...

    AMD A10-5800k

    I'm sick of seeing all this type of crap in this sub-forum. I come here to discuss CPUs, not sales and finance data.

    Reasons why Intel will not dominate ARM (for the foreseeable future)

    The desktop PC market isn't dying, it's simply saturated. Are the TV, cooker, and freezer markets dying? Tablets and smartphones will also reach saturation in the near future. As to why Intel won't dominate ARM, the answer is simple - price.

    Mobile Haswell achieves all day battery life - beginning of the end for ARM?

    That sounds awfully close to admitting that there will be no faster GPU available for use in an ARM SoC when Temash is released in a couple of months. So basically, because I showed you that a certain ARM SoC cant run both it's GPU and CPU at load without throttling the CPU, you invent some...

    Mobile Haswell achieves all day battery life - beginning of the end for ARM?

    I was quite clearly talking about the A15 SoC that Anand was reviewing.

    Mobile Haswell achieves all day battery life - beginning of the end for ARM?

    What makes you think that Temash can't run both the GPU and CPU at load at the default clocks within it's specified TDP? I've seen nothing to suggest this. Do you have any sources to back up this claim?

    Mobile Haswell achieves all day battery life - beginning of the end for ARM?

    Any idea of the texture rate for the A6X? I'm sure I saw a benchmark saying 300MHz undocked and 500MHz docked. AMD claim 100% GPU peformance increase over its predecessor, which would be Hondo. So, I'd say it should be a bit faster than the HD 6310.

    Mobile Haswell achieves all day battery life - beginning of the end for ARM?

    Wait too long and it won't be competing against Temash, it would be competing against its successors. No, that was me passing on information about AMDs MWC demo. Well if approaches 15W then it's getting into Kabini territory. The fact remains though, that the A15 SoC can't run at full load...

    Mobile Haswell achieves all day battery life - beginning of the end for ARM?

    So which do you think is the better GPU and how much better is it? Is the difference in performance significant? Now, if the best ARM SoC GPU can only provide similar performance to AMDs ancient VLIW5 architecture, is it not obvious that GCN will be better? Here's the previous paragraph to the...

    Mobile Haswell achieves all day battery life - beginning of the end for ARM?

    I just checked the datasheet for the Z2760 and it clearly state that it supports DX9.3 and doesn't mention anything about DX10. So, that wraps up the case of the lone fish.

    Temash Tubo Dock demo at MWC

    I took the info from Anand's review: "The GPU is a PowerVR SGX 545 from Imagination Technologies, clocked at a very high 533MHz. Direct3D feature level 9_3 is officially supported." It just an assumption, but it seems the most likely explanation so far. Edit: It's no longer an assumption...

    Mobile Haswell achieves all day battery life - beginning of the end for ARM?

    That's a possible explanation but it was only an assumption on my part. I'd say it needs more investigation before accepting it as fact.

    Mobile Haswell achieves all day battery life - beginning of the end for ARM?

    It's not a graphics card, it's the GPU used by the E-350. What's its pixel and texture rate? Here's the data for the HD 6310. Here's what Anand actually said: I've highlighted the relevant part. I don't see how you could possibly think I misinterpreted what was said. It's pretty specific...
