The GPU Fiji will be released on 28 nm technology , and the area of its crystal does not exceed 550 square millimeters . The new memory type HBM with productive bus will raise performance without increasing clock frequencies. Colleagues from the site PC Perspective believe that the release of AMD GPU Fiji will be on 28-nm technology is the only rational solution to the current realities. Crystals of the area from 200 to 550 square millimeters have a reasonable degree of possible technological
marriage, after the turn of 550 mm² it gets too high - NVIDIA compensates for the risk of high retail price in GeForce GTX Titan X and a limited edition release of such cards.
AMD also incurs additional risks due to the use of the memory layout HBM, and therefore communicate with the unknown 20-nm process technology in this situation would be dangerous. This does not mean that progress in lithographic part of GPU is stagnating, just a 20-nm technology has a very short life cycle. Even AMD representatives confirmed that the company is just interested on 20-nm process technology and on 14-nm technology is going to produce several products, the development of
which is carried out at the moment. Apparently, the new NVIDIA GPU and Pascal will be released on 14/16 nm technology class. NVIDIA is somehow collaborating with Samsung in this area, and the Korean company has already started mass production of 14-nm products. Thus, in the current year, you can relax and enjoy the 28-nm process technology. Related Products :
