Given the (expected) price of the R9 Fury non-X and the R9 Nano as well as - FuryX2? - and AMD's tendency to be better at launch bad initial drivers and then eek out all the juice of the card as things progress?
Likely. That was reported already during Thursday by Kitguru, which was reasonably close to after the embargo let up. (assuming I can interpret times correctly)
In other words, dems fighting words.
It could also be that they want to be super aggressive with prices to trounce the recent nVidia scepticism to make them a "friend company" again. Or to just drive AMD to desperation, since they historically have been more pro-active with price cuts, hoping to cut their margins?
But yeah, I am thinking we have not seen the end of how far the Fury X can go in benchmarks either.
As a sidenote, I think it curious how different communication levels are held; AMD in the Nordic basically blatantly told SweClockers that "..the 300-series are rebadges.." on the question whether they really were a new and improved circuit.
AFTER news of the opposite submerged from AMD America.
Gee, thanks Chazus for reminding me on how long I've been here. That's nearly depressing. :c
