That is nothing crazy, Navi would likely target that. Only your price for top future AMD GPU of $299 sounds crazy
Personally, I'd like AMD to use HBM with their APUs. We all know that the ram is the bottleneck with APU graphics performance. Give them 8GB of HBM with DDR4 used like a swap partition; give an APU 16GB of HBM and DDR4 wouldn't be necessary...provided there are actually drivers for using HBM as general system ram.
Dear AMD,
I'd like 6-10 of whatever your next-gen cores are, Navi or better for graphics, with 16GB of HBM2 attached for your next desktop APU. We'd probably need a new socket and motherboards to support it. That's fine. A lot of us would be perfectly content with that APU for $400-$600 if it could play most of our games at 1080p120 to 1440p60. Seriously, please combine your next gen $150 CPU & $250 GPU models with some HBM2 to negate DDR4 graphics lag so we can have a real desktop & gaming grade APU on the consumer level.
Thanks

But since you talked about 4K/60fps, you know what pisses me off to no end? People taking a expensive top of the line card to play 4k, setting the anti-aliasing to 8x and them claiming there is not a single card on the market capable of 4k/60fps...

When these appear, PC will go to DDR5 memory (about late 2020. or early 2021. i guess), so you won't need it again At the time, you will get classic APU running on system's DDR5
Everything is limited really, we will always have bottlenecks and boundwaresLast edited by dungeon; 03 December 2018, 03:04 PM.

The whole point of AA, at least SSAA, is to make a 640x480 game appear to be 2K & 4K, to make low resolution appear to be high resolution. Once you're actually rendering at the resolutions we used to use SSAA to simulate way back when, what's the point? To make a 4K game appear to be a 16K game? That just seems like a waste of resources that could be used on shadows and other spiffy effects.
EDIT
For me personally, 4K is probably all I'm ever going to want/need. I currently have a 40" 1080p display and sit about 1m away when playing games. For some games, it looks good enough, even without AA. But for other games, they look bad even with AA (particularly ones where you need to look farther ahead, like racing games). I figure 4K ought to be plenty sufficient, I'm just waiting for a GPU capable of 4K (without AA) that costs less than $500 and doesn't consume excessive wattage. Preferably AMD, since I want to support their open-source efforts.Last edited by schmidtbag; 03 December 2018, 03:08 PM.

I've always suspected gaming consoles are why we can't get a nice desktop APU. That would just make it too damn easy for a common user to build or buy a system around. No thinking "is my CPU good enough", no "is my GPU good enough"...just "check it out, they released a new APU that upgrades my entire system with one plug and play component".

Originally posted by schmidtbag View PostYup pretty much, though, it is worth pointing out that your screen size and your distance from the display makes a big difference in all of that. A 24" 2K display where you're sitting maybe 2ft away isn't going to need AA. But at 36" at the same distance, you're probably going to notice some jaggies.
I though about saying the same, but I assumed most of us here are familiar with the size/distance stuff.

At the time of DDR5, we would probably have HBM3 too and around 2022. to 2024. also HBM4 will probably appear
Maybe next-gen gaming consoles if they aim for an end of 2020. launch, will start with HBM3... who knows
Maybe something will happen at about year 2025. if pricing of HBM diminishes somehow to the levels of DDRLast edited by dungeon; 03 December 2018, 04:01 PM.
