    Jim Keller leaves AMD

    If all these other companies have the potential to be competitive, why would they wait? Why not make their move now? Would it really be beneficial for them to wait until AMD dies and Intel has a monopoly? Short of them getting hit with anti-competition rulings, Intel would only end up in a...

    AMD, Roy Taylor, the Nano, and the Press @ [H]

    Murmaider, murmaider, murmaider, murmaider.... Seems a bit harsh for techpowerup to put "complicated overclocking" down as a con given that it takes them half a sentence to explain that extra complication: "If you plan on doing any overclocking, you will have to increase the card's power limit"...

    AMD, Roy Taylor, the Nano, and the Press @ [H]

    With a name like 'Flopper' I can't imagine how you'd find this out.

    R9 Nano Review Thread

    Interesting. Perhaps the power distribution circuits of the Nano are less efficient. Puts a big hole in the "nano is good for low tdp" argument. So that just leaves: "Fury Nano. For when you have to make do with 6 inches." Or alternatively: "Fury Nano. If nothing bigger fits, you probably...

    R9 Nano Review Thread

    You mean this page? I don't understand that graph. How is the Fury X doing so poorly if it's still allowed a TDP of 285W? Is that a typo? EDIT: It must be a typo. The title states Fiji@185W, and the TDP of the Fury X is 275W not 285W. EDIT2: But if it IS a typo, how is the Fury X...

    R9 Nano Review Thread

    Me too! Does that mean I must be right as well, simply by appeal to authority? Ok, this topic took me on a really, really boring hour of reading. Turns out E was the original letter Ohm used for Electromotive Force, but also for field energy. Over the past 20 years or so, E has fallen out...

    R9 Nano Review Thread

    It didn't really live up to the hype, but AMD has been trying to keep its stock afloat for a long time now and the hype train is as good a set of armbands as anything else. But you're right - I'll leave the thread to discussions of the (largely pointless) Nano, rather than (largely pointless)...

    R9 Nano Review Thread

    But... No... Because the SI unit for voltage is V, not E. So if YOU are going to arbitrarily assign the letter E, you have to define voltage as E. THEN your equation is correct. In other words: 1. You can perfectly well arbitrarily assign whichever letters you like (as you have done)...

    R9 Nano Review Thread

    So to summarise, The only place the Nano is interesting is in SFF cases that literally cannot fit an 8" card or somehow only have 1 8pin connector: In these circumstances the Nano competes primarily with the 970 mini / ITX, where the AMD card achieves a non-OC ~20% improvement for as much as...
