US Prices of AMD Ryzen Processors Surface

Backwards. Even though TSMC's chips are bigger than Samsung's, they generally perform better.

No, it's not backwards, perf difference is within margins of errors, while battery life is in Samsung's favor, about 8-10%:

You don't release a card to compete with other when other is not here.

It took 480 AIBs ONE BLOODY MONTH to arrive, while ref boards sucked.
Oh, and now there are again rumors of 1080Ti coming in Spring.
So unless Vega can cost 600$-ish and be near Pascal Titan perf wise, it's another fail by Raja.

Well that's good. That mirrors what Apple claimed. Earliest tests showed TSMC was quite a bit better. Not really interested in digging but I wonder if these are later processors where Samsung was able to improve their process.

I'm more interested in knowing whether GloFo can be worse than original Samsung fab at licensed tech.

Considering 4+ GHz 8-core Ryzen chips are coming made at Glofo, I think their 14nm process is actually really good.
