From ShopBLT:Isn't launch price suppose to be $130-140? Leak shows the GTX750ti benches slower than GTX660 which is a hair below 7850. Performance wise R9 270 and 265 are clearly better respectively at $200 and launch price.
This is kinda new, they usually release high-end silicon first and then their harvest after that. For Maxwell they release the mainstream first ?
Not only that, I believe both AMD and Nvidia are waiting for 20nm production to ramp up or begin at TSMC.
The initial chips will be 28nm. If I recall, the R9 290 series were to be on 20nm but were put on 28nm instead.
The same could probably be said of the 750/750 Ti series also. Test the waters kind of thing. Then, once 20nm production starts later this year, we'll probably see the actual Maxwell 800-series cards appear from mid-range to high end.
I like seeing new technology and the way Nvidia improved power per watt efficiency looks promising.
My memory is fuzzy, but I remember seeing it mentioned... somewhere.What does AMD have on tap for 20nm? Merely throwing Hawaii onto 20nm does nothing for performance characteristics, unless they have a new uarch in the wings. Just curious. I have not heard of a new architecture by AMD being in the works, while Maxwell has been in the works for a while. Is there something after Volcanic Islands (that's what the 290X was, right?) Serious question. I have not heard of anything in the works at AMD by rumor sites.
$199.99?

Right? lol
For a second I thought it was Best Buy. That would have made perfect sense.
