wow sounds amazing but there would be not many games taking use of the insane bandwith, or?

390X is supposed to water cooled? http://wccftech.com/amd-radeon-r9-390x-arrives-1h-2015-feature-hydra-liquid-cooling/
Is this site reliable?
So... three or four months?
Given their release schedules which aren't paired anymore, that's the normal thing.
Would this work as a main ram too for apu?
The GM204 is a great compute chip on top of being superb in games.I really hope that AMD will stop their focus on double precision processing. They need to follow nVidia and create hips that are fully gaming-oriented, which will reduce perf/watt and reduce transistor count.
People taking wffctech seriously? Lol.
It's also weird to compare Maxwell with AMDs current cards, AMD hasn't released a new architecture in over two and a half years. I certainly hope Maxwell blows it out of the water, same node or otherwise.
The article reads that AMD will have a full year of HBM over Nvidia GDDR5... that is going to be very very nice for AMD.
So, Q1 2016? Slow down there.Nvidia has said that they'll use stacked RAM / HBM on their GPUs a couple of years ago - starting with Volta. Which means that it's been more than two years since they've started working on this too and it's very unlikely that AMD will have a big lead here. I expect them to launch Pascal on 16nm in about a year or a year and a half.
Stacked memory is coming in early 2015, there is nothing fake in that. Plus they are lining to the presentation slides, so existence of this article [and thread] is justified.
Yes. Anyone expecting AMD to launch it sooner than end of 2015 / start of 2016 is in for a dissapointment.So, Q1 2016? Slow down there.
They certainly need to do something, since Maxwell has wiped the floor with AMDs upper range cards in value, efficiency and pure power terms. With the 960 just around the corner most likely, their low-mid range might be under threat too.
are any of the current high end cards bandwidth constrained by such a degree that this would provide a significant boost?
The Nvidia only effects make a 970 way worth it over a AMD card.Hopefully 3xx will out before Witcher 3. That will be time when I will upgrade my GPU.
[but I wont say no to pricedrop to GTX970 in stores around me]

Perhaps not now but in the future, especially if you're playing at 1440p/4K.

Not necessarily. The fur in Witcher 3,could run on AMD cards, but it is up to Nvidia to allow them too.We are only talking about GPU Physx which require CUDA. Other tech in the game (tessellation, HBAO+, Hairworks) will work on AMD hardware.
oh my god....
I seriously do not want to buy an intel CPU.
AMD pls

Bought a 970 3 days ago. I regret nothing!!

Hmm, one might say this is interestingly timed given the 970 buzz out there.
Certainly this would be interesting though, if AMD can really deliver stacked memory so soon, and so far ahead of nVidia. Lots of 'allegedlys' in there though, so not sure whether to rev the hype engines or not.
In case you're wondering, Nvidia has its finger in HBM pies too. Afaik HBM is a memory standard, and AMD would here be working one one specific implementation of it, rather than "inventing it" as the OP's article seems to be making out. Someone might correct me if I'm wrong there.
Like, next year. This is thought to be a Q1 2015.
AMD has always had a hand in memory standards, as recently as GDDR5.It's not nVidia or AMD that are delivering it, it's their memory partners. both nVidia and AMD are now just design companies, they don't make shit. The only plus to this is that they can point the finger elsewhere when some tech slips.
Typical AMD .. always great lakes and promises and always underdeliving
What a great time to be a PC gamer. [...]
1GB for first generation cards, so when this comes out will it be split memory pools with 1GB of stacked ram and then 3GB or so of GDDR5? Will this act like a massive edram equivalent?
Wonder how it will be driven by devs. I assume for compatibility reasons the AMD drivers will have to manage the memory itself so it is transparent to devs.
Ugh do I have to wait and hold off on the GTX970?
Why? They are already the market leader. As a PC gamer interested in tech and decent pricing, it would be better if AMD trumped Nvidia again for a change.People taking wffctech seriously? Lol.

Maybe I can finally upgrade for my Occulus build then.
69502gb getting long in the tooth.
I'm now thinking the same.
As always, right?
