[Ars] AMD confirms high-end Polaris GPU will be released in 2016

They always do, even their technical marketing staff owns Skylake now.

I wonder if they will use Pascal to show off Zen.

Doesn't it ever get old too you?

Does every intel employee play PC games on integrated intel GPU? They never touched PS4 and XBone?

Because owning an AMD based product and having to use your competitor's CPU to demo graphics cards in marketing material are 100% the same thing. Lol, sure.

Not a phrase I would use. Your tone seems flaimbaity and trollish.

AMD is in the position where they can choose which parts to pair with their wide product portfolio.

Others can't. They lack engineering knowledge to support full range of products from potent CPU designs and top of the line GPUs to bleeding edge memory tech and graphics APIs.

Polaris the card to own.
A legend in its lifetime

Yet, for some reason, they never choose their own CPUs in these situations. I wonder why, maybe because they're inferior?

New idea....All gpu benchmarks are invalid unless one uses their own cpu for testing. Dang poor old Nvidia is left with a measly SOC.

Really bad idea. Thank god AMD's technical marketing would rather use their competitor's products to show off their graphics cards in a better light.

He was joking

Polaris 10 demo: DirectX 12. 1440p. 60FPS.

Sweet mother of god O_O.

Similar performance to Fiji with 2.5x perf/watt at lower prices wouldn't be bad at all.

Wow! Thank you. I had no idea.

You do realize that Nvidia does the exact same thing right? What's your point?

Unless you're saying Nvidia and Intel are the same company now....

 

[Sweepr]

You do realize that Nvidia does the exact same thing right?

Do they? I was not aware NVIDIA had x86 CPUs on the market. Learning new stuff every day.

 

[tential]

So now you're making excuses for Nvidia not testing their GPUs with their own CPUs... ok. Keep the excuses coming!

 

[Sweepr]

You sound angry. It's not like they have a choice, unlike AMD.

 

[tential]

You sound angry. It's not like they have a choice, unlike AMD.

So more excuses for Nvidia? Why you so upset about Nvidia not using their own cpus? Don't be so upset maybe one day Nvidia will test with their own cpus. Unless they suck... That must be it Nvidia cpus suck so Nvidia doesnt use them for testing. No one buys them.

Nvidia do have their own CPUs. I'm using them right now! Sadly, it's just powering my Nexus 7 and 9.

Sounds similar to AMD's current FX lineup. BTW you should go out and take a deep breath, not sure what Nvidia has to do with AMD using Haswell/Skylake instead of their own x86 chips for dGPUs testing.

You should go out and take a deep breath and relax. I'm not sure what Intel cpus have to do with amd gpu testing/results.....

The fact that AMD uses them for dGPUs comparisons.

 

[PPB]

The fact that AMD uses them for dGPUs comparisons.

They are trying to show their products in the best possible light. If Zen is up to the task I wont doubt they will make the switch.

Now tell me how many companies have the choice to use their own desktop grade cpus with their own desktop grade dgpus? Seems you are rather irritated with the fact AMD is trying to do what the other 2 companies are doing separatedly in the desktop space.

Someone gets it.

They got them there SOC's don't they?
