Possible AMD counter to Titan...

Remember that Sapphire slide last year just before the 7970 release that showed a part with 2304 shaders but it was crossed out? I wonder if that chip actually exist but was waiting to see the light of day.... speculation ofcourse but wouldn't that be cool?

2304 cores

If you look at the top right corner of the pic it looks like it could possibly say suspended, you can read the letters susp, which just means slated for later release I would guess.

How do I go about inserting that actual pic in the post instead of the url?

Go back and read the article that started this. It states that the source that leaked the delay also said amd will officially release the 7990 to counter/render irrelevant titan at $900.
 
There is no counter for titan, it will be a limited or at least very expensive part that just wont matter to AMD, their lineup will continue @ current price and segment.
Maybe a 7870x2 would be nice to match titan idk, just to say something
 
If the rumoured card actually existed, it still wouldn't be enough to match the rumoured Titan's rumoured 3d performance and its rumoured compute abilities . . . allegedly anyway.
 
Those specs are not enough to match the Titan. It would need to be a 48 ROP, 3072 SP, 192 TMU, 1050mhz-1100mhz HD8970. I think the Titan is going to be like an 8800GTX with no direct competitor from AMD until 20nm.
 
Maybe it's because I'm an extreme pessimist, but I find it truly hard to believe that Titan will be more than 50% faster than a gtx680 at stock. Considering you can get a 7970 to be about 20% faster with an overclock I don't find it so far fetched that AMD can release something competitive to Titan.

Maybe it's because I'm a moderate pessimist, but I find 95% of the performance estimates in threads discussing hypothetical competition to an unreleased or reviewed product, complete with pulled-from-ass percentages of current products, to be 100% entertaining.
 
If the price is as high as we expect, I don't see AMD doing anything,
maybe improve availability for the 7970 dual card?

or a small price decrease to get some attention back?

I think that 48Rops + 2560 shaders @ 1000 mhz is enough to match titan, if it is really 50% faster than 680.
 
Highly doubt it. They can't afford to risk a move like that with all the financial limitations they have. The potential buyer base for that kind of card is very small and not very profitable.

That's a very misleading statement, 2011 was only just over a year ago... slightly longer thatn the 7970 has been out.

but yes, it is speculation..... Not really random since it is a sapphire released slide

what did you expect from this guy? Typical AMD bashing...
 
Personally I think AMD and nVidia now try to fit 3 releases into a 3 year cycle between nodes. 1 new release, 1 rebrand and 1 refresh. Apple and Qualcomm gonna outbid AMD and nVidia for 20nm TSMC.

Even I could fake that sheet.

If they had been planning a model with those specs, there would have been several leaks in the last 12 months which is an eternity in the GPU world.
