Full of surprises that no one else has shown
Oct 27, 2011 in Channel, Desktop, Gaming, Graphics, Memory, Mobile, Rumors
AMD (NYSE:AMD) has some top secret prototype GPUs floating, and SemiAccurate managed to get a picture of one. With that, here is an upcoming, but not soon, AMD GPU that we won’t name, along with an interposer and stacked memory. No more details or legs get broken. Enjoy.S|A
This doesn’t exist yet, honest

Blah. Yet another blah story that cant pass neither for teaser anymore.
So they pump up market bubble As every year in november just before mass fondue for tgd.
If you have it open to stamp your logo on it anyway why not go to the damn menu and select ‘auto adjust colors’ too?
For charlie:
When in GIMP use the menu color->levels then in the bottom section ‘all channels’ select the white dropper on the right and click on a whitepoint in the picture.
For some reason the ‘auto’ option doesn’t always do it right.
You can then also use color->curves to pull up the brightness a bit.
Wow, CHarlie! U actually can use Google!
What a nice EXCLUSIVE!
Wow!
Why isn’t suprising that it’s AVAILABLE for everyone right from AMD’s servers:

What an exclusive info you have! Wow! Just wow…
That is indeed much clearer and has the same chip.
It is dated october though so it might be that it came after the picture? But even so, it’s available and should have replaced that picture of charlie.
I wonder if we are looking at MCM GPU part? I could see the interposer being used for a Multi Chip Module to do internal linking of multiple GPU parts to do away with crossfire at least with dual GPU on the same board.
This does not look like an APU but surely a GPU but with very different architecture. With memory stack? Wew!
This is just further shrinking of circuitry. All it is, I am speculating, is a bog-standard GPU, bog-standard vram, probably 1gb, and instead of a circuit board tying them together, a silicon interposer, a nano circuit board, if you wish.
That’s all.
It probably won’t be ready until 2013 at the earliest, and it probably won’t be in the Xbox 720.
maybe PS4; perhaps GFX not going so well with chipzilla (announced replacement for nV).
Yup, I reckon its a console GPU too. Not sure if its Xbox 720 or one of the others though.
Oooh. I was wondering what the new Xbox 720 chip was going to look like. I guess now we know.
You may be wrong for all I know But you may be right http://hostedjobs.openhire.com/epostings/submit.cfm?fuseaction=app.jobinfo&jobid=301581&company_id=15686&version=1&source=ONLINE&jobOwner=1011884
XBox 720(?) chip is being supplied by IBM, not AMD.
Link please. Also, the 360 has an AMD gpu in it along with an IBM cpu.
Wonder if we are going to see products from AMD akin to Nvidias proposed project Denver lines but where the cpu portion is x86 instead of ARM based?
You mean like the APUs that have been on the drawing board since AMID acquired ATI in 2006 and delivered since late 2010? Good catch inspector Clouseau!
forgot to mention Fort LevenWorth,Cutting edge stuff. Digital Gets TOP Bunk. hey, There Editor at Washington Post named GreenFuelerBillt, Probably pic is Part of its Brain. Is DAT Me Couszin?
Bet just Another test Item that , hummm would AMD waste MY prescious Time. maybe Troy,NY item. Maybe Smaller nm test item.
RED,Yellow & Blue. Yellow looks Green at Low Levels of Excitement, Yet, as Emissions of Phots go heavy, See Its’ Yellow. Proprietary system are that way, Confusing.Hey, Lobster Claws & Flying carpet spring. Advanced Stuff.Old GraveYard World.seems like gray is mount goop. cooper instead of shiney metal, wheres epoxy.
drashek EL TomaS Commadante’ LevenWorth Prisons….
“Is DAT Me Couszin?”
Proof that Drashek is an AI?
I see the parallel but no not like the apu really…..but more like a add in board with large scale gpu and smaller scale onboard local x86 cpu serving it and access to high speed vram rather than system memory and the ability to use several such aib’s to one system…..so actually not at all like the apu.
Cool, likely in the future we will see memory on the GPU. The chips aside the GPU look like memory. This is the fastest way of accessing the memory, and could bring costs down too. Maybe this can be directly integrated with AMD Fusion, having a superfast GPU Memory AND a kind of large L3 cache!
Hardware pr0n at its finest!
So, this thing is going to be put on an AIB like a regular chip? What else will there be put on the board? More RAM?
Will this product come with a much needed time machine so I won’t have to keep ‘forward looking’ for applications to take advantage of it this time around?
I can’t believe it. Clearly this chip is made of woodscrews and by showing a picture of something that doesn’t exist, the intention is to confuse and distort the truth. AMD’s stockholder are being sold a sham!
But the difference is that AMD’s “woodscrews” clearly shows that it doesn’t exist yet, or that it won’t be anytime soon. Nvidia’s woodscrews were being held and paraded around by no less than Dear Leader himself, meaning they clearly want you to believe it already exists during that time when in fact, it didn’t.
Looks like an embedded Radeon like that one:
http://www.nextsegment.com/hardwares-reviews/844-amd-launching-radeon-e6760-the-next-embedded-radeon
However, the RAM chips on the article’s GPU look like simple, cheap DDR3 :(
I had the same idea, but if the GPU was a APU instead, it would be an almost complete SoC. And considering Trinity is supposed for low power mobile devices… Space tends to be a premium there.
So if the can do Silicon Interposer and Stacked memory in the 28nm process. Does that mean (although different process) Trinity might possibly using similar technology? If so, is AMD should less worried about Ivy Bridge on the graphics side. Ignoring Intels eternal struggle with working drivers.
Thats supoose to be substrate interposer ;) How much memory is there?
Were they ever worried about IB graphics?
Haswell should be more of a concern.
Charlie’s article (about a year ago) about Ivy bridge possibly using SI and Stacked memory that should worry AMD. http://semiaccurate.com/2010/12/29/intel-puts-gpu-memory-ivy-bridge/
Why should it worry AMD? They (and by extension TSMC and GLOBALFOUNDRIES) can do the same.
Yeah looks like embedded but the memory used this time is like no ordinary memory.
Oh,Charlene, (secret spy talk for charlie), those little red dots around something or another. espionage has stepped up 25% in last few weeks, from $4.50 to $5.50, Ummmmm. Must be Integrated, as looks like gpu with some other stuff.
Must be discrete as looks like gpu with some other stuff.
Charlene was editor at theINQ. After printing up business card, charlene suddenly was at:ToMs’ Hardware. oh,My.
Notice Word Court .esy. New hempline Rope & Old Oak tree. Well, Always wanted to see something: TOP SECRET.
Now About Charlenes’ travel Voucher to Levenworth State Fed City & County, bring change of undies.
drashek Dod.
Charlene… lmao
oh drashek is such a card
Nothing unexpected.
Looks damn nice :)
Hope we get it in 2012 :-)
Yes this is an interesting prototype. Will it ever come to pass? Don’t know but you be the judge. It’s either a Radeon HD 8000 or 9000 series Graphics Card, quite large with a built in single CPU Piledriver Module. In order for this to work, AMD was forced to wait for a smaller process. In my opinion and from what I know, we can expect such a card in the Q4 2012 to Q1 2013, but don’t quote me on this.
This is a technique where these cards running under Windows 8 and paired with a Piledriver CPU will give you extensive performance improvements in gaming. If this is what AMD needs to do to make Bulldozer/Piledriver faster, then so be it. Just hope it comes out sooner than Q4 2012.
One more thing I would like to add, there’s a good chance that AMD will release a version which allows the user to plug in a Piledriver based CPU onto the GPU. The trade off I believe would be the requirement of having two PCIe x 16 slots available for this use. Though it all depends on whether the newer PCIe standard will give you enough bandwidth to accommodate such a task.
One thing is for sure, AMD is not only trying to be #1 in the GPU business vs. Intel, but they are also trying hard to eventually hammer NVIDIA with this concept. If AMD plays it’s cards right this may very well revolutionize the way we play games on the PC for the better. Thank goodness AMD keeps pushing innovation despite some of their past and present failures.
There’s a good chance, is there? Based on what? My guess is if you had this kind of information and actually knew what you were talking about, it’d be your site and not Charlie’s.
Nike’s two post have a ring of truth about them. And more helpful than no info at all about what I’m staring at in Charlie’s photo above. So lay off.
I would have to agree with both Nike and Worminator. I mean if this ever comes to pass, dam AMD talk about something real cool and quite innovative. Something to make people buy into the Bulldozer Design methology. Good job IMO…..
Wannabe fanfiction ‘techwriter’ who pretends he’s known and respected.
Sounds like he needs treatment rather than acknowledgment.
If he can’t afford such I advise the youtube comment section to keep him busy.
Sounds like you are talking about Charlie, given he has absolutely no credentials and has been spewing out inaccuracies and FUD for years.
There is exactly zero chance of that happening. And if they can’t figure out their IPC problems, the only revolution will be that of angry buyers who thought they get an 8 core chip that performs worse than a cheaper 4 core chip in games.
What innovation is that you speak of? Your imaginary, laughable concept of a CPU being an add-on to a GPU? You’ve got to be joking.
Since when is a CPU only for gaming? It’s made for a lot of things. People put way too much faith in synthetic benchmarks. Give the 8-Core Bulldozer CPU’s a chance for revision, AMD is but a small company that currently kicked Intel’s A-Hole in pure Innovation by having Iron Balls to completely move away from what they are familiar with.
Give them a break for goodness sakes, and buy one, you won’t regret it. You will have the ability to game like there was no tomorrow.
It says “HD8000″ in the tags right under the article.
Thats true, looks very nice but i dont think that we can hope for a trial the next 2 Years :( – 2014 is the number i read…
