Personally waiting for 35W Raven Ridge, or at least something with a beefy enough cooling solution. A 2500U is basically Iris Pro 580 or better performance and holy poo poo that's perfect for my use case.

I wonder if this new chip, or something like it, will end up in the Playstation 5. Consoles are aching for more CPU power. It would be mind blowing if it actually ended up in a new Vita.

dissss posted:Why do you think switchable graphics is a compromise these days? It's worked completely seamlessly for years now. When will Microsoft/Nvidia fix the diagonal tearing they introduced with Windows 10? https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/903422/geforce-mobile-gpus/diagonal-screen-tearing-issues-on-gtx-860m-870m-960m-965m-970m-980m-/ It has been like 3 years. Also G-sync and Optimus do not work together. One issue has gotten a lot better since 4 years ago though: I have to choose which gpu to use much less often, used to be that every second game wanted to run on iGPU.

It would be mind blowing if it actually ended up in a new Vita. This isn't on the same planet in terms of power draw for something that would be suitable for a handheld. I wouldn't be surprised at all though to see future console architectures take this approach, on-package HBM that just acts like a huge cache with more regular DDR5 etc as the base memory.

Sony had plenty of hardware in the Vita. They failed to get more than a few good exclusives on it. (still has some great games otherwise but I digress) Nintendo now has good hardware, but look at the 3DS which has less hardware than the og PSP yet still has a ton of great games. They needed more exclusives on the Vita like they do on the PS4 which is what Xbox has a problem with but now, has the hardware. Funny that.

Nintendo also used industry standard memory cards and released over the years 6 different revisions of 3DS hardware.

Don Lapre posted:You can use micro SD's in 3g vitas now That's great but they probably should have done that back at launch. I've probably gotten as much entertainment value out of my DS/3DS/New 3DS XL as I've gotten out of my PC in the same period of time and I still have a list of like 20 games I want to get for those systems and a backlog of like five or six games.

Asking here since the SNR tends to be way higher than places like Reddit: does delta compression effectively increase VRAM capacity, i.e. is the data actually stored in memory compressed? I don't see how it could be otherwise - after all GDDR5 is a commodity product so there is no opportunity to bake any special compression algorithms into the chip, correct? (the internet is still trying to figure out what's going on with those wacky Wolfenstein benchmarks, Guru3D has some analysis in their review. It kinda doesn't appear to be a VRAM problem after all, since 4 GB cards like the RX 570 and GTX 980 seem to outperform the Fury.)

I don't see how it could be otherwise - after all GDDR5 is a commodity product so there is no opportunity to bake any special compression algorithms into the chip, correct? The data is stored in memory compressed, but the compressed blocks are padded to the uncompressed size so you don't gain any effective capacity. Densely packing the compressed blocks would be a pain in the rear end since textures are mutable (the compression ratio of each block can change whenever) and there wouldn't be a trivial mapping from pixel coordinates to a memory address anymore.

repiv posted:The data is stored in memory compressed, but the compressed blocks are padded to the uncompressed size so you don't gain any effective capacity. How big is a block then? That actually makes it more impressive in a way, since again the RAM has no concept of this compression, so it's not like you can have the chip just move on to a new request once it hits padding. A bigger block size potentially gets you a better compression ratio (since you can quit receiving words more quickly) but then you're also working with larger chunks so random access is less efficient. I guess the saving grace here is that graphics workloads aren't really doing a lot of random access... Paul MaudDib fucked around with this message at 19:53 on Nov 7, 2017 |

Really wonder what's happened there, tbh. Raja was at amd until around 2009, that's when radeon was kicking nvidia's butt in pretty much every aspect. He left, gpus went bad, and now was back and gpus went even worse  really it probably just shows these leadership types don't do poo poo unless they work real hard, he could've just had a brilliant team in 2008 and didn't do anything, and now he had a poo poo team so the same approach didn't work

Called it. Anime Schoolgirl posted:SHOULD 👏 HAVE 👏 KEPT 👏 BIG 👏 POLARIS Zero VGS posted:Should have die-shrunk Hawaii... Probably would have made sense to basically shrink Pitcairn, Tonga and Hawaii + GCN4 features for a line up. Polaris 11 turned out too weak, and I don't think a 36CU and 44CU dies would have been a wise investment. 20CU, 32CU and 44CU would have been fine, as well as 24CU, 36CU and 48CU.
