We review the dual-GPU GeForce GTX Titan Z. The card is much talked about as Nvidia introduced the product at prices that are incredibly high. Then Nvidia decided to refuse to send out samples to the media. To this day that fact has remained the same, however once cards get into retail they inevitably will end up with the media regardless of what Nvidia wants. So today we test the dual GPU based Titan Z. A card that created a lot of controversy, as such we'll go in-depth once again to see whether or not this 2800 EUR product even has a chance to compete with the 1300 EUR Radeon R9 295x2.

Bold claims, but we like goals like that. AMD states that by 2020 APUs will be 25x more efficient. Well, extrapolating that, efficient does not mean faster. And in fact they are talking about energy efficiency. AMD’s technology plans show every promise of yielding about a 25-fold improvement in typical-use energy efficiency for mobile devices over the next six years, a pace that substantially exceeds historical rates of growth in peak output energy efficiency.

With a bold move that sees the removal of all 5.25” drive bays, the RAVEN team engineers again saw the opportunity to re-utilize the 90 degree rotated design. Previous RAVEN models with 90 degree layout often had to compromise on space efficiency due to fixed length of the motherboard in rotated orientation.
I was kinda hoping to not post this, as one site creates a story based on half facts and then 2 news-posts later on other websites, it all of the sudden becomes a fact. Okay, let me write it the way it is. There is a rumor that there will be no new graphics card releases from Nvidia in the mainstream to high-end segment until later this year. Rumored is that in Q4 Nvidia will release the GeForce GTX 880 and GTX 870. Both cards would still be based on 28nm due to 20nm complications and both cards would be based on a variant of the GM204 Maxwell GPU.
Intel will release a chip next year that is a Xeon processor combined with a fpga from a 3rd party. The processor is developed specifically for datacenters / servers and will compete with ARM-chips. Intel is working on that chip says Diane Bryant from Intel's datacenter-group. The fpga is coupled with the Xeon processor in such a manner that it can access the CPU tied memory.
