Was going to say, Does good cooling really cost the removal of 50 cores ? ^_^

I always wanted to ask that but felt like people would think I was stupid lol. I always assumed it was "Tea, aye" but when TTL started saying "Tie", I started questioning myself, and I understanded the logic kind of too because it's "Ti" not "TI", as it would be if it was an acronym, but Googling it, I couldn't find what it was short for. I always found the "Obsydian" funny though

Ti = Titanium so I suppose it depends on how you pronounce that word.

Can you reference where you found that's what it stands for? I find it hard to believe that if it's that simple, I couldn't find it when I searched for it.
And I don't mean "that's what it is in the periodic table", because that doesn't necessarily mean it's what it means in this context.

TI = tis improved, aka better than the last 1
Lol, I actually would like to know where it comes from though

Stands for Titanium. Must have sounded really cool and then all of a sudden the marketing team decided to call it Ti. That is a logical reason imo

But does anyone have a source though? I can't find this on Google.
Edit: Searching Ti GPU and Titanium together did give one site which said it, but it wasn't official and I wonder why it's not been mentioned anywhere else. Anyway this is getting a bit off topic, so sorry about that.

Okay lol, that makes me think it should be pronounced "Tie" now, but I just can't bring myself to do it xD
On a side note, I guess the Cu in Asus GPUs stands for copper then? I'd not realised that before, but it seems reasonable.

Yes it does. Direct Copper 2. Hence why the pipes are copper(at least i hope they are).

Cu is "Cooling Unit" according to reps (more reps
) but I like to think it's Copper as it makes more sense that way.
