are you new to how nvidia and amd do things? I don't know of 7nm's yields being particularly bad yields are never amazing early on though
Oliver Green
This but unironically
Noah Allen
So, like what massive bloatfilled OS and super unoptimaized video game do I have to install to make something like this worth it? Do I need to fold proteins in the background too?
Nicholas Peterson
Didnt ARM announce they're making a 3nm chip soon?
Nolan Martinez
This is getting close to the limit of silicon. 5nm and they have to move to another material.
Landon Johnson
Odds are that's fake news. Unless the chip isn't silicon based. See
that was some pseudoscience quantum tunneling moore's law bullshit that got proven wrong in 2006 when 3nm transistors were first successfully printed.
people thought the same thing in 1997 when mercury vapor lamps couldn't output a wavelength small enough to etch smaller than 250nm but they just overlapped 2 images and made higher density smaller transistors with a lower production cost
Owen Cruz
>yields are so bad as they have been, for years. That's why nvidia made RTX, so they can make ASICs on their GPU and pretend to gain performance while in reality, GPU performance upgrades are dead.
idk about arm but imec and cdns have sucessfully made 3nm test chips using 193nm euv immersion lithography and samsung announced earlier this year that they've got that shit planned
Cooper Parker
Not as bad as being beta testers for hardware backdoors for 11 years.
>yields are bad no, they are not, they are expensive, go see a price of a silicon disc for 7nm, go check the size of that silicon it is huge. 7nm is a thing for a long time alreadly.
Owen Hernandez
7nm is going to be busted and outdated in no time, I don't get the hype.
Its like someone freaking out about a Pentium processor. You know number 2 through 4 are coming.
I'm waiting on the .07nm personally.
Hudson Watson
We already had 1nm transistors 12 years ago. It just won't be cost effective to print that shit for consumer level gear for a long long time. Especially, when it means the very dead end of the technology. Which is nearly there as you can plainly see (adding more cores instead of speeding them up trend.)
Ryder Davis
I will beta test 2x the performance of a 9900 for half the price any day, intcel HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA
>.07nm Not possible. A silicon atom is 0.11nm in diameter. The spacing between atoms in a silicon crystal is 0.21nm (center to center, not edge to edge).
Jonathan Torres
>beta testers yeah cause you know MI 50 cards didnt exist prior to radeon VII
/fucking idiot
Camden Morgan
fanatsytuic
Hudson Ramirez
Typical ARM core has significantly lower transistor count compared to the high power architectures, especially if we assume it's going to be just a technology demo with little extra features (single core, no igpu, no fancy coprocessors) it's easily doable for them
Oliver Young
>beta testers For the whole process? No, Apple's A12 Bionic was before them.
The yields are not bad you idiot. Radeon VII is literally server Insctinct MI50 rejects that don't make the cut, with features restricted and sold as gaming GPUs. The only thing that makes RVII an expensive GPU comparatively is the cost of the 16GB of HBM2.
Elijah Wood
zen 2 got 78% yields.
Nathaniel Perry
>Thus this makes AMDfags the 7nm beta testers. Hopefully this is the thing that Navi actually beta tests.
