That would seem to imply yield problems at GF.

Or it would imply that AMD wants to maximize yield because it's a worthy goal in and of itself. Would it be more prudent to NOT worry about yields on their first 14nm device?

Why is nVidia not catching flack for Osbourning their own product line? Product transitions happen all the time.

Re: Polaris... I see AMD creating a scalable VR solution... $200 gets you in the door (with ~R9 390 level performance!), and another $200 takes you to the top of the heap, where the competition costs $500.

Is the complaint that a $200 card can't make money? The meaty midrange space has always been in the $150-$250 range. And AMD has ZERO competition here, just when VR is taking off.

I agree that eventually, VR will be satisfied by mobile... But IMHO AMD is doing exactly what's necessary to corner the "premium VR" provider.

Re: Zen... What is UP with the hand-wringing? All that's happened is A) it's still "on track", B) silicon is apparently "working", and C) it will be sampling within weeks. I for one was not expecting actual Zen benchmarks, but apparently, the lack thereof is wrist-slit-worthy...

Re: AM4... Part of me wants it to have been launched. The part of me that just bought an FX-8370/R9-390x/32GB-DDR3-2100 rig for my Vive is glad it didn't wait for AM4/Bristol Ridge/Polaris... I can let the new platform sort out a bit.

PS: Yes, it's freaking cool. :) Got my Steam Developer's account kicked off; Feels like when the iPhone and Android intro'ed: A brand-new, wide-open market that can and will take off in a million directions, and I want to be a part of it.
