Also the patients effectively served as their own controls. Remind me not to choose you to design a clinical trial. I understand that you would want a randomized double blind placebo controlled trial to prove efficacy. But I wouldn’t consider rising blood pressure and sugar levels, on thousands of ...
I think rice diet was just a temporary measure until the patient's blood pressure and sugar levels were under control. Also the patients effectively served as their own controls.
My concern with this card is that it's brute-forcing the lead with an expensive 512-bit design and physically huge GPU, rather than architectural or process improvements that increase performance/cost. I wouldn't call the design brute force. At around 430mm^2 it's 30% smaller than Nvidia's behemoth...
If you think the Xbox One or PS4 are going to be running Physx on their Jaguar-core CPUs, I think you are nutso. I'm positive that they'll be running on the GPU. Savyg is not nusto. According to nVidia PhysX runs primarily on the CPU. http://physxinfo.com/news/10531/nvidia-is-continuing-to-be-a-par...
AMD should be able to achieve a single thread improvement over 30% (15% for IPC and clockspeed). If I'm not mistaken Cinebench is FPU intensive. Jaguar's FPU is twice as fast as Bobcat, 128 bit versus 64bit.
If you're interested in reducing power consumption further, you could consider undervolting the APU. It might be possible to save 10W or more on the APU.
Didn't they just re-hire someone who was the big brain behind the K8? Not to say it's going to be a magic fix, but maybe not as dire as some in this thread are getting.
