AMD RTG Marketing Team Faked Vega 10 Die Shot

AMD RTG Marketing Team Faked Vega 10 Die Shot – No Info on Die Size Available, First Gaming Cards Still Months Away From Launch

Yesterday, AMD revealed the first die shot of their Vega 10 graphics chip which will debut later this month. AMD has now confirmed that the Vega die shot was not real and was made up by the RTG marketing department.

The news comes straight from Scott Wasson who’s the senior manager of product marketing at AMD (Previously Editor in Chief at The Tech Report). Scott mentions over at his twitter feed that the die shot was not real. He also mentioned that AMD has not released any specifics of die size so all information that is currently roaming the internet is speculation at best.

I wonder how all those bashing the blue and green side for their practices are going to explain away this one sorry, had to say it (I don't mean people on this forum, just those in general).

Vega is a train wreck. No one has really pretended otherwise.

TBH right now it's like some sort of Apple exclusive or something and I would bet they are too busy catering to them.

But yeah, Radeon right now is just in a hole.

 

[AngryGoldfish]

Maybe AMD are making the card even more powerfu... screw it, Vega is gonna suck. Ha!

If I see 1080Ti's on sale, I'm buying.

Let's be honest, it was a basic marketing slide for Apple, nothing like a real die-shot. Just the usual rumour mill making nothing into a big thing. Anyone who knows what a real die-shot looks like would know that it is a mere marketing graphic.

This is a die shot

This is a marketing graphic

More shaggy information about Vega... AMD really doesn't want anyone to know.

*Cool Warhammer stuff snipped*

Lets face it, warhammer 40k will come soon or perhaps Age of Sigmar first leading up to 40k. I love the content they push out for this. Perhaps its their most successful TW game so far? or maybe that trophy belongs to TW Rome still.

If 40k is announced, ill be all over it like white on rice, on a paper plate in a snowstorm!

Coffeelake 6C/12T 12MB spotted. No CPUID on this, so most likely the first stepping (hence the low clocks).

Intel(R) CPU 0000 @ 3.10GHz (6C 12T 3.1GHz/4.2GHz, 2.7GHz IMC/3.9GHz, 6x 256kB L2, 12MB L3

Kinda miffed they aren't out yet, or have a proper release date with specs out. I am very curious about the cards!

Another milestone for 10nm: Cannon Lake on track and we’ve now taped in Ice Lake, our 2nd-generation 10nm product.

https://twitter.com/intelnews/status/872844756845379584 (if twitter is good enough for Trumpy, it's good enough for me ugh)

Ice Lake launching in H2-2018 is a real possibility, maybe as soon as August-September (1 year after Coffee Lake-S 'K'). Also heard they taped in recently, not only 'now'.

In terms of revenue and by per title (including dlc) it is by far there most successful title. However it hasn't sold more or made more than all the previous games combined. I know that's not shocking but they give us figures for that every once in a while so it's really the only thing we can compare too

Remember my saying Intel Ark had its prices removed? Well as I've suspected, they've been lowered:

i9-7900X (13.75M cache, 10 Cores, 20 Threads, 3.30 GHz, 14nm) - $989
i7-7820X (11M cache, 8 Cores, 16 Threads, 3.60 GHz, 14nm) - $589
i7-7800X (8.25M cache, 6 Cores, 12 Threads, 3.50 GHz, 14nm) - $383
i7-7740X (8M cache, 4 Cores, 8 Threads, 4.30 GHz, 14nm) - $339
i5-7640X (6M cache, 4 Cores, 4 Threads, 4.00 GHz, 14nm) $242

If the rumoured price of Threadripper is correct then Intel are going to have a hard time convincing people to buy their 10 core when a 16 core CPU can be had for less than $900.

And in all fairness, a $10 reduction is a bit laughable.

Indeedy !

 

[AngryGoldfish]

HAHA! I didn't even notice that. I was just impressed Intel lowered their prices. I didn't actually see by how much. $10 is almost confirming the knee-jerk reaction this range has shown itself to be; they didn't even have the prices down to the dollar yet.

 

[Korreborg]

The biggest problem IMO is the 1600 and 1700. They are more in the price range of most people. 1700 is 299$ Intel wants twice that :nutkick:
But lets see how they perform

The problem for Intel is not how they will perform. As you have just said, the Intel CPU will cost double that of the AMD. So it would need to be *at least* twice as fast and we all know that is never going to happen.

That is the problem of letting the market stagnate. People simply do not need twice the performance for twice the money. A CPU that costs double that of another, for example, will not give you twice the FPS in a game. On the contrary there is practically bugger all difference between a £200 CPU and a £2000 CPU for gaming.

 

[Korreborg]

It was kind of a joke. If they can do 5GHz some will still buy them
But when looking at people i know, most just surfe an game light games at 1080p
You dont need a massive CPU for that. I'm happy as long as my CPU does not bottleneck my GPU.
