That is really the big deal here. Ryzen performance may not be where people want it in single threaded tasks, but Threadripper is a bargain for people who have those types of workloads and needs. I am almost due for a CPU upgrade myself and am particularly excited to see how well a 6core i5 performs and if it ends up being backwards compatible to z100 boards instant upgrade for me. But, that is way off topic here. Now if only AMD could be as competitive in the GPU realm.
I don't know what you're fixing. I never alluded to single core performance or price.
I may have. I think I've brought this up before. I post too much to remember anything specific

Just a handful of posts over the past page or two.

That's a ton of speculation and theory. I'd love to see AMD release drivers that boost performance 20-30% over what we are seeing from leaks, but when has that ever happened historically so close to release?
Never. Ever. Not once.

hence why I stated that was the only major change they seemed to have done in the shader array.
Dug up the older R700 ISA documents to see what is different on block diagrams.

About the 128 to 258 bit change in the pipeline, that is pretty much how they are doing half precision and full precision in the same pipeline
If I don't overclock my 1080 FE and just move power slider to 120% it will easily hit above 1900 boost.
You can pick up a founders edition 1080 on amazon for $535, so yeah any higher of a price and it becomes an odd duck.
The gaming X is not heavily or even moderately overclocked, it has a 3% clockspeed bump but a more forgiving power profile. Which allows the GPU to maintain highest boost clocks almost all the time. This is happening with all aftermarket 1080 and 1070. You literally can't buy a FE anymore l. All the cards are after market and all of them boost higher.
Amazon has FE and so does Best Buy which sells Nvidia OEM versions
Moving the goalposts to V100 now?
I'm expecting a few titles patched with FP16 in shirt order, but really need the new shader model to release for that. Then PC has the full console feature set. Seems all games will be using primitive shaders on Vega, just without the heavily modified paths. Per game optimizations would be possible on existing titles.
May be a way to encourage bundles and make more off mining. MSRP could increase, but won't necessarily apply to bundle prices or rebates if they go that route.
So? the 1060 was ahead of FuryX for a long time on linux, and even on some (gameworks) windows titles? what's one test in a sea of tests? straw grasping much?
miners.................
