ja skor myslim, ze Navi bude shrink Polarisu na 7nm...vsetko ostatne ma moze pozitivne prekvapit ;)

...no, nVidii by na začiatok bohate stačila reakcia v podobe výrazného zníženia cien RTX modelov - napr. RTX2070ka za 399USD/€ či 2080ka za 549USD/€ by bola sakra ponuka a to by zo samotnými kartami či procesom nemuseli robiť vôbec nič.

VLIW nedáva žiadny zmysel, keď konečne budúci mesiac sprevádzkujú jednu vlastnosť GCN (ktorú vzali v roku 2011 v decembri/prosinci). A keď zatiaľ iba na hranie sa, nie na plnohodnotnú prácu. To bude až za rok.

GCC 9 Will Be Released Soon With AMD Zen 2 Support, Radeon GCN Back-End, D Language
on 25 March 2019

- The AMD GCN back-end was merged albeit for GCC 9 can only run basic single-threaded programs while hopefully for GCC 10 we'll see enough support to begin running OpenMP/OpenACC offloading. In GCC 9, the AMD GCN back-end is designed for Fiji and Vega 10 hardware.

SUSE Developers Publish Radeon GCN Backend Code For GCC Compiler
on 16 March 2017
SUSE developers have been working on that for AMD and today they have published their code branch. This GCN back-end for GCC is primarily focused on compute capabilities rather than compiling graphics shaders.

More Details On The AMD GCN Back-End For GCC That's Expected To Merge For GCC 9

on 11 September 2018

Last week I reported on Code Sourcery / Mentor Graphics posting their new AMD GCN port to the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). This GPU back-end for the widely-used GCC compiler is hoped for merging ahead of the GCC 9 stable release expected in early 2019. At this past weekend's GNU Tools Cauldron 2018 conference was a briefing by Mentor Graphics on undertaking funded by AMD.

Andrew Stubbs who posted those latest AMD GCN patches last week for GCC was in attendance at the Cauldron in Manchester (UK) to talk about their AMD GPU back-end work for the GNU compiler toolchain. Among the highlights are:

- AMD has indeed been funding Mentor Graphics to create this new GCC port... It was pretty much assumed, but not entirely clear with AMD and SUSE being long-time partners and SUSE having originally started working on the GCN back-end in 2016. But it turns out AMD ended up hiring Mentor to work on this code since 2017 while using the SUSE code as a starting point.

... tak netreba zabúdať na to že u nVidie si zaručene veľmi, ale že veľmi dobre spočítali či sa im oplatí prechádzať na 7nm v súčasnom stave + ono bude ""asi"" rozdiel či sa na tých 7nm vyrábajú drobné "AI, IoT a 5G čipů" alebo napr. 300mm2 GPU jadro že.

nVidii na to zřejmě vláda nedává dotace.
