its crazy. the shader numbers keep going down. I don't understand why AMD would chose not to launch a product with 40cu's but if 2048 shaders are performing faster than 390x with half the wattage. That is even more impressive. I could easily match the 1070 or above if they have one with 2560 shaders. May be they are trying really hard to stay under a certain price. Sort of confusing but o well.
Well, with 2048 versus 2560, they can fit 15-20% MORE chips on a wafer. That makes them much cheaper, and allows AMD to sell them for a sweet price while maintaining a decent margin.
