Computex: AMD working on improved ref coolers for HD9000, will compete with GK110

[blackened23]

This is from computex, thought this was a bit interesting. AMD is hard at work on a successor, and they (may?) be working on a better cooler for their successor cards: AIB manufacturers are also reporting at computex that AMD is hard at work on a single chip solution to compete with GK110.

ComputerBase made a trip to Taiwan, where a lot of new hardware is presented at Computex. Guys from CB had a chance to talk with both manufacturers about the next series, or more precisely the current series for NVIDIA. Of course, not many details were disclosed at this point, but AMD is supposedly taking a lot of effort to manufacture a more efficient cooling system. It does not mean that it will be as sexy as the TITAN’s, but it means will be enough quiet and enough efficient to compete with it (I think ‘quiet’ is the key word here). According to Nekechuck, they focus on customers satisfaction. Whenever they make a better reference card, it’s the customers who benefit. He also says that their partners will now have to work harder to make something as good as the reference designed.

The story looks slightly different, if you ask the partners themselves. According to them, AMD is indeed working on a new design, but it won’t be that attractive as the company is telling to the public. AMD is not interested in manufacturing highly efficient cooling solutions, because these are expensive. Instead, AMD is currently working on a new GPU that could compete with the GK110, and that’s their main focus.

At what point in the sentence "AMD Radeon HD 8000 Graphics Cards Will Feature Better Coolers" did you decide that the numbers 8 and 9 are interchangeable

 

[joshhedge]

Let's be honest, they're not going to called 8xxx given that the 8xxx series is already out to OEMs.

Plus it would be a good opportunity for AMD to run with the 9800 pro naming scheme for their potential titan killer

I'm thinking that having overlapping SKUs (OEM, retail) with different parts and the same name may cause issues, yeah?

It has only taken 11 years to come a full circle naming Radeons. I do hope they name this HD9700. Heck I'd even buy one, I have very fond memories of my old 9700PRO...

original computerbase.de article does not mention anything about "AMD working on a new GPU that could compete with the GK110",

only some AIB skepticism of AMD reference cooler

 

[blackened23]

Looks like the next-gen desktop Radeons *may* be on display at E3 next week:

There's no direct indication of this being HD9000, but it's possible I guess.

I will buy any card named "9800 pro"

Hahaha no way there will be next generation AMD GPU's on display. The term next generation is thrown around like a red-headed step child. It will be current GPU's and APU's, as well as upcoming APU's that have considerable public release info on (Kaveri). Maybe some PS4 / Xbone stuff too. Let me put it this way - if there was next gen GPU's on display next week, leaks would have been all over the web a month ago.

 

[EliteRetard]

I would probably jizz to death if they released a new 9700Pro next week that was 2x as fast as titan less power heat and at 500$.

Like they were playing lame duck just so they could drop the bomb again.

"Ha ha ha" Okay, cool, I guess. I don't know whether it's happening or not, but i'm glad you can see the future in your crystal ball. Maybe it will, maybe it won't, I didn't post the bit about E3 as fact.

Maybe this is where the thread turns into a back and forth flame war with the nvidia users trolling about AMD is going out of business and won't release HD9000 until 2015, and AMD users troll about what terrible price/perf GTX 780/titan/blah blah blah has. Whatever. Maybe it will happen next week, perhaps not.

Agreed. I will have to buy a 9800 just because it's a 9800.

Here you go.

Do you have information that contradicts this such that you call it "wishful thinking"? If not, I am not sure why you posted what you did.

I'm not flaming, nor am I posting with regards to camping out with a particular vendor. All I did was disagree and post reasons why, with a "hahaha" to start. Don't take offense so easily! It would be great if I'm wrong.

Reality dictates that our next injection of excitement will be the 760Ti and perhaps the 760 later.

Boredom shouldn't change your perception of reality .

Well now, lets think about this for a second for what it is. Or at least what you perceived it to be. You see, you gave it way more "meaning" than I did.

I simply hope AMD stays in the game. It's good for everyone. Competition is good. I personally don't think AMD can do it, but want them to, therefore my thinking is wishful. And I raised a glass as a toast to them for trying.

I bet you thought I meant that the rumors are BS.

Well, if it wasn't, you've just invited it to be.

I don't think they will go out of business. I could see intel loaning them some money first before it happens. Microsoft did something similar with Apple.

If Intel was the only major chip maker for cpus we could see them possibly split like big oil was. Except it'd be much more detrimental for the PC industry.

Huge conjectures here of course just throwing out some crazy ideas.

 

[Siberian]

ARM is a bigger threat to Intel than AMD. AMD will not be saved at this rate. Too much debt and very few assets.

Just the fact that it could be OVER NINE THOUSAND!!111 would be enough to make it desirable.:awe:
