Sweet! Progress. Unified progress.
I presume it's far too early to get an idea what the relative performance compared to what's around now might be. Is there any indication of when they anticipate this stuff will start rolling out? 2020?

In fact, it seems to be the AMD GMI-link. (Global Memory Interconnect ), that we have allready heard about more than 1 year ago, so should be close to be ready. Core specification covering the architecture and protocol will be finalized in late 2016.
It have been called somewhat coherent fabric at a point.

Intel doesn't want to play ball..mhm they either must be really confident that their solution is better

Neither Intel nor NVIDIA are in there. As usual and unfortunately.

eh is this supposed to replace ddr4? or something? reading that just made me confused that or i just not getting it.

I did notice Intel was missing from the list, thought that was odd. Seems a huge company like that would want input. Nvidia should care too.
Sorry to hear that's apparently typical.

"An open, democratic coherent connectivity standard that enables the next generation of scale and performance is needed in the industry."
Nothing could be farther from the truth - the mere fact that Intel is not in the "consortium" means but one thing: AMD's jealousy and spite are here again. IzNoGood would like to become a caliph instead of the Caliph. Just as someone's ma would have been a pa, but a certain organ is not hanging from between her legs...

Lol, or maybe just that Intel can't make any money off licencing it to others and so doesn't want to put any resources into helping develop it
