Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
I've stumbled upon these models as well, but are there any internal pictures? Couldn't find any of the ERX480 either.
I'm not doubting binning, but we have clear evidence that there are good chips that would go into E9550 and quite likely here as well, hence the 180W brick. What about 1070? Any indications about binning? As far as I can tell the whole move to the current situation was to avoid it, or rather, avoid the sweating over consumer parts and put everything good onto Quadro boards. With that said, would love to see the internals of both ERX480 and EN1070.

Naaaah, it's your hammer that's too small, just get a bigger one and swing it like a Viking
Well the RX 480 should work in CF I'm REALLY curious to see it in action. After all, since the XDMA introduction, there was no laptop to feature AMD GPU, let alone two in CF.

As soon as they are available you will have your happy guinea pig!

Go one someone pull the trigger it would be a fun experiment in a decently designed laptop with cooling adequate for a 980M perhaps even a bump on the core would be possible and then things might get interesting!

say what! M295X = 980M? hard data please!
-
Not sure about that. Clock for clock however it is much more powerful
M295X = solid 970M with adequate cooling

Theoretically the e9550 should be available soon Strongly note first word there!

Well right about now is a consequence of a long story before-hand. There are VERY RARE cases where something "just happened". In most cases there's smoke before the fire is seen.
?
Yes nGREEDIA are great marketers (I've always put them second to Apple) and what's even better, they handle the "elite". All the "little boys" (not obligatory to be literary a little boy, to be "little boy") watch the "big boys" (again, same) play with certain hardware and they want it too. They can't afford it though and then they go with what their pocket allows, but from the same brand, obviously, "cuz' that's what the big boyz are rollin', yo". The video clearly implied that and I said it in my post as well - the uneducated buy goes to nGREEDIA and grIntel *insert the "quote" again*. I've been there as well. When I was building my first desktop in 2005 (previously I had a Pravetz-8 from early 90s, but there's nothing to be built about it) I was going for grIntel (P4 with HT, OH WOW!!!) and nGREEDIA GPU. Why? Already said - uneducated. Thankfully my budget wasn't up for the task and the sales guy recommended me Sempron instead (good luck having a sales guy recommend you anything AMD now, no matter the country). Went with it. The GPU was FX5500 and it was defective out of the box (sign of fate again?), they didn't have another to replace it (since it was a whole batch) and got 128bit 9550 instead, which I later flashed to 9600 Pro. Well after this (and by "well after" I mean a few years ago when I started digging, after I found out about the grIntel's bribery) I realized what exactly happened and that I ended-up with a better machine than I thought I'd be getting, both in terms of CPU and GPU. There's quite the story afterwards and if you are curious enough, you can find it. I'll tell you this though - only recently (Q2 2015) I drew the guns against nGREEDIA.
I can't argue with this, especially when you have people ready to buy these things. What AMD gains of top end? Is it a smart business to shovel money in area that's obviously not profiting for you? That's easy way to go bankrupt. AMD always had competitive products, but they weren't bought no where near as much as anything nGREEDIA. As (I hope) you can see, their budget is getting slimmer by the minutes. So again, tell me more about smart business.
Do you try to prove your point? You did the exact opposite. ALL of them are owned by "inferior" brands. It only goes to say that Halo products can only do and go that much. And since you made it a matter of our discussion, I was really saddened (it wont be a stretch if I say brokenhearted) when VW Group bought Porsche. I can only imagine what Wendelin Wiedeking felt like when he was announcing his resignation, there was a lot of pain in his voice. How Porsche was the one that was going to buy VW and it ended-up bought instead is something that I really didn't want to look at, since I really hate how things played-out (I can make a guess, since the negotiation took quite some time). Sometime I might have a look to get a life lesson, especially when I gear-up to buy VW Group And to answer your question - I don't hate them. I hated Ferrari at some point, since Chris Harris did a pretty good essay on "How Ferrari spins". Since he not only drives them, but does so around Fiorano and all over Modena, I guess all is fine with the world again. I kinda hate (most of) the recent Porches, but it's not because of the price. It's because this is what I was afraid of when VW bought them, a nightmare come true - forced-induction-dual-clutch-AWD everything. It might be a bit overly generalized, but then why 911R happened?
I hate them because of numerous reasons and quite a few of them are already stated in this or in "The hopeful of keeping MXM 3.0b alive thread!", the rest are all over the forum and the post is already lengthy enough. They did A LOT of wrong these past couple of years and I don't see a glimpse of them trying to fix things, unlike Porsche (911R, then again profiteers drove prices to ridiculous levels) and (probably) Ferrari (I really can't tell if Ferrari bought CH or not, but by default I chose to believe in good until proven bad) in the above example. And to drive the point home with 911R - watch the EVO video with Andreas Preuninger about it. They hoped to get away with the direction of new GT3s, but thankfully people pushed back! I can't see this about nGREEDIA, so they not only push $h!t, but they do so at pretty penny.
Yep they are indeed "better" - they managed to outdo AMD when it comes to bad drivers, they are the mother of all failure rates (remember 8xxx series, actually even before that, but GPUs in laptops weren't all the rage to take such proportions, there STILL are failures, but people keep it under radar) and the list can go-on. So I would like you to give me some examples of what exactly they did better (without quotes)? I already told you why they sell better (IMO).Last edited: Dec 6, 2016jaybee83 likes this. -
