When will we see Fury reviews?

[Samwell]

So we will see Fiji take no hit to performance when Enhanced Godrays is turned on as it has the tesselation improvements of Tonga. Moreover Fiji is a bandwidth and fill rate monster so expect some amazing results at 4K and even 1440p at times.

You can't take such a conclusion out of what you posted. If the architecture diagram is right, then we have Tongas Front end in Fiji, but with massively more Shader Power. If the Front end would be doubled like everything else, then you would be right, but unfortunately it seems not. We don't know whether other improvements were made. This is for me the only question mark, which might limit Fury a bit. Shader are up 45%, Bandwight ist good and Rops also won't limit. But Front end didn't scale from Tonga, so will be interesting whether it might be a limit.

The front end has been improved compared to Tonga,

Fiji also improves upon what we first saw in Tonga. It can do as many theoretical primitives per clock (4) as Tonga, but AMD has improved the geometry engine so that the end result will be faster than what we have seen previously.

And GM200 didn't double it either, in fact it's even slower than GM204 at polygon throughput.

That's why i wrote, we don't know what other optimizations are there.

GM200 is starting from a way higher level and when i look here everything and also triangle output is higher than GM204:

Tongas Front-End actually is in many parts on the Level of Hawaii and not stronger. The big improvement in Tonga from Hawaii is the way higher tessalation power at high tesselation levels.

There are optimizations though.

GM200 does do more triangles per clock, so it has scaled with other parts as well, it seems to be getting limited in those benchmarks then.
Those hardware.fr numbers came up on b3d, strange to see tonga falling behind with tahiti with culled triangles in tessellation performance. With the release of the recent driver that pushes 390X to higher tessellation performance even that impressive improvement now looks not that worthwhile.

Dat info dump! At this point just put a hyperlink with a PDF file.

Broadwell H = Fury

Neither can be bought and reviews are sparse to nonexistent.

Yes, very keen observation; it is very mysterious that a product that is not on sale yet can't be bought nor has been reviewed.

Also, the sky is blue and water is wet.
