Rumor: Polaris validation Failed Might Launch in October Now

Rumor: Polaris validation Failed Might Launch in October Now

Okay before I start on this news-item, I really need to state that this is based on a vague rumor, nothing has been confirmed or denied otherwise. Here's the story, some reports say Polaris 10 can't hit 850 MHz reliably and that availability will be pushed back to October. I sincerely hope the rumor is not true.

The news arrived through Nordic Hardware saying that AMD's partners "won't have any new cards to display at Computex and the only Polaris cards promoted to them from AMD are R9 390/390X performance class but for a mid-range price. Reports say Polaris 10 can't hit 850 MHz reliably, whereas Nvidia already demoed the 2000 MHz marker with their GPUs.

A board partner response seem to be "as of now, no information".

Rumor indicates that this info is backed by a rather large AMD partner, that there will be no Polaris-based video cards from AMD partners at Computex. That means no Polaris on Computex and no availability of the cards shortly thereafter (if this is true). 

If true, man can AMD please catch a break ...

If what is true? Pascal doesn't have Async Compute. We know that -- that doesn't mean it was rushed.


Will see in time,you know,like Maxwell.


From Ocn:

- Ellesmere XT currently on A0 testing phase.
- Ellesmere XT estimated to reach A1 phase by 3rd week of May, only by then the specs will be finalised.
- Ellesmere Pro and Baffin currently not even reach A0 phase.
- Baffin reference PCB will be 4 layer board + single fan, board length slightly shorter than Nano.
- Ellesmere XT reference PCB will be 6 layer board + single fan, board length slightly longer than Nano.
- AIB will release both single fan and dual fan version of Ellesmere XT cards but not triple fan one.

As from Amd Radeon history the XT is the fastest chip from them.The Pro version is mainstream.

I can't help but wonder ... people keep using Ashes to test for Async, but didn't Ashes turn off async for NVIDIA (on their request)? Or did they get a special version where this is turned back on?

Well, proper benchmarks will eventually tell.

Not big deal with stocks,up-down every day.

But Nvidia will milk the users almost 6 months from June,if Amd dont have a new mainstream card this summer.
