No offense, although it will probably offend, but this is one of the stupidest comments I've ever seen. No one knows whether or not a product is good, unless people buy them then benchmark them, and post the results, so that everyone can see just how good it is. These slides to exactly that...

Guys, this is how these two GPU makers have been competing from the beginning. Why people are getting their panties in such a bunch is unreasonable. AMD announces Polaris for low-mid rage up to $299 with better performance and efficiency than anything NVidia has to offer, all while stating...

I certainly hope it won't be priced like the FX's of old. In my opinion, they should release these at the same price-point they released all of their recent flagship parts so far ~$200USD (-$30 for underclocked unit). Agreed, "if" the chip actually runs at the advertised TDP which AMD has...

Actually, by bit-techs numbers (they also ran an 8350 through its paces), it pulled (on their system) 213W running P95 stock and overclocked to 4.8GHz was 364W. That isn't 5GHz but you can use that to calculate what 5Ghz would theoretically be on that system or find someone who actually posted...

Then you obviously aren't reading closely enough, because from my point of view, there has been exactly the opposite. First of all, to say that I "flail around" is an insult itself. These are words on a screen, no "flailing" can take place. Unnecessary. And if I did, perhaps, ignore...

*sigh* If anyone actually wants to have an intelligent discussion about this with me, again, please make intelligent comments and refrain from insults and ridiculousness. I know just about everything there is to know about AMD's chips and Intel's chips and how they compare to one another in...

My logic is not flawed simply because you happen to like your BD. Unlike you, many people purchased BD, because they thought it was going to be the best CPU ever and they put faith into all of AMD's marketing, which we all know was horrible, which in turn is the reason why they were all, for...

Yes, and the instruction decoder capabilities are measured in IPC. I am not saying this is total IPC for the entire architecture, but IPC for the front end, which will, however, end up having a major impact in overall IPC. I've edited my post to save confusion, but the image should be self...

Uh, where did I say anything about anyone with Bulldozer chips having issues? :confused: No, not "pretty much across the board". Again, go and calculate the performance. Take every single benchmark done by any and every single review site and make the calculations. I promise you that you...

The fact that it's a marketing ploy is obvious, it's written on the wall. They want to boast the 5GHz number and sure, go ahead, but I disagree that people will mindlessly see 5GHz and flock to AMD. People who were burnt with that the first time with Bulldozer learned their lesson. They will...

In terms of missing points...you do know that the general purpose of forum threads is to for people to hold conversations and discussion, which, if you weren't already aware, include personal views, right? :roll: You also fail to realize your hypocrisy in that your belief that it "will" add...

I think AMD would be making a big mistake releasing this chip. If they are going to make an enthusiast chip, they need to apply this to a Steamroller part, not Piledriver cores. We all know the performance of an 8350, we don't need one with a higher clock rate, what we need is a Steamroller FX...
