Does Hexus not like AdoredTV?
They know what anyone else don't or they are giving their opinion?Quote:

Youtubers, news sites, what's the difference these days? Jim does seem to have a relatively good track record for leaks. But because it's not verified, he clearly states to take it with salt.Quote:

I just find that Hexus' news output is very...targeted, shall we say.
How comes Vega 64 has more transistors than a Nvidia RTX 2070 but performs badly? (12.5B versus 10.8B)
Jim (AdoredTV) uses sound logic to back up his predictions, along with stating to take things with a pinch of salt where necessary. He's also had good form with previous speculation.
His current video on Ryzen 3000 and Navi does seem overly optimistic, and Hardware Unboxed did a critique of his info here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXr7_O1v8-c
I suspect he's been someone overly optimistic with the regards to core count and/or clock speed on Ryzen 3000, and overly optimistic with pricing for Navi. But if the final products are half as good as he's predicting it will still be something to celebrate.
I'm no expert but I believe it's to do with the arcitecture and how they're used. AMD, as I understand it, use a more generalised design which is good for other applications, like floating point calculations or mining. While nVidia are more ruthless and hone the design specifically for gaming orientated tasks. You can view it as AMD being bloated or nVidia being penny pinchers. Both are somewhat true.Quote:

I'm talking as a layman, but that's how I've understood it. So you often seen AMD's design implementation gaining ground in higher resolutions or newer API, before nVidia have adapted to optimise their GPU designs.
I might be talking rubbish, but that's my general understanding.
Vega was a compute orientated card so worked great in compute workloads but Nvidias cores are more targeted to graphical implementations. That's why Vega performs so much better than Nvidia for DX12 because AMDs architecture supports a much more generalised aspect.Quote:

If the replacement for Vega 64 comes in at half the price and half the TDP I'll eat my hat. :)
I am curious as to what hat we're talking here :PQuote:

Hoping they can improve things further, heading towards an upgrade and intel and nvidia have been taking the cake.
Nacho hat obvs, sucks when it rains.Quote:
