Getting closer. Few more generations and we call finally all have Pip-boys. :bigeyes: http://arstechnica.com/business/new...-future-of-cpugpu.ars?comments=1#comments-bar
I dont think the person writing that article understands GPUs, up until we passed the 150 GB/s area, all GPUs were mostly memory bandwidth bound. Nothing has changed recently in that area except that we are even more bound by memory bandwidth than before because the core is even faster. Performance will continue to rise on the integrated GPU if you were to overclock the memory more and more. I think it would take something like DDR3-4000 to satisfy the GPU in this processor, maybe more. But he is right, the GPU side would benefit greatly if AMD could somehow throw in 256MB of video RAM integrated into the processor die and connected directly to the GPU itself, but that just isnt even close to possible. We would need to jump down to the 11nm process size area in order to incorporate that much memory on die for the GPU.
11nm ? Just ask Intel. They have invested a lot of their billions coming from unethical, illegal and predatory practices into technological shrink know-how. No need to have a better designed CPU when it is one or two generations smaller than what the other guys have. PS. 14nm is for 2014, 11nm for 2015 and work has begun on 8 nm.
