You have to remember that in England there are A LOT of the "old boy network" that have their fingers in a lot of pies so they are not going to go against something which sees money going their way.

Exactly. Also a sad day to see Boris about to become your new PM.
 
Unfortunately they couldn't take a Belgium-like approach with our current (15 years old) gambling legislation. Clearly it's not up to scratch with current titles though which is why the select committee are seeking to change the legislation. This ruling is just on whether current legislation would legally allow a firmer approach, not on the direction the legislation should/will take with its upcoming revisions.

EDIT[About Boris]: Sorry thought this was small talk and chit chat moving now

Yeah I'd think the former, or somewhere in between, they'd need a slightly larger than VII die with the gddr controller but they could do it with not too much bigger than that with this iteration of RDNA. Tbh I don't think the 2080Ti is competing in a large enough market for that battle to seem particularly lucrative even if it were just about viable economically on 7nm. (Disregarding exceptional circumstances like them already having major garaunteed design wins maybe from high density enterprise customers for a part like that or something along those lines.)

A TomsHardware test (https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-ryzen-3000-turbo-boost-frequency-analysis,6253.html) seems to indicate that the reason Ryzen3000 CPUs can have such aggressive boost clocks but only relatively modest all-core OC's is because AMD now bins the chips per-core in order to be able to hit such aggressive frequencies with early 7nm, with the new scheduler ensuring that heavy single or low threaded workloads get moved to the cores able to hit these seemingly somewhat rarely achievable clock speeds, with binning ensuring that at least 1 core per die on the 6-core is capable of hitting that. This is akin to, or somewhat an evolution of, the "Prime Cores" we're seeing in mobile 7nm parts, or the "Hovis method" used for Scorpio engine in the Xbone. [Can you do per core overclocking nowadays? Might be worth a try if any owners here have been trying to push OCs]
