"When reading Kongfria, he didn't realize that time, it is always three days old. Now, in 2017, it will go, 2018 is in 2018. In front of you. For new year months, we should look forward to it, and the last years, people should also count, review the past, with the history of the mirror, today we must say that the 2017 graphics market is the 2017 graphics market It is completely crazy this year. It is completely crazy this year. In the first half of the mining, the eating chicken in the second half of the year allows the high-end graphics to complete fire, AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel's "triangle love" has also changed, AMD, Intel intervals working together on graphics cards for many years.
In this industry, the graphics card is probably the number of manufacturers only than the second "quiet" market in the CPU field. The latter only AMD, Intel production, sales, graphics card market except AMD, NVIDIA, there is ten households left, AIC vendors, but everyone's most common graphics brand has a number of hands. It is the life of these two core manufacturers to add ten family graphics card manufacturers to have a thousand gamers in 2017. For these two leaders and more than ten younger brothers, add the Tiger's Intel, this year's graphics market, we summarize a few most - most disappointing, most crazy, most passionate and most subversive.
The most disappointment of graphics card annual review: NVIDIA continues to high-end market, AMD VEGA is unfavorable
Speaking of the graphics market, the first thing to say is AMD and NVIDIA, and the basic situation is also known, AMD has been in less than GPU since the Radeon R300 series, and the medium and low-end syndrome can still achieve some advantages. However, in the high-end graphics market, NVIDIA has won strongly from the Kepler architecture, followsseeted to Maxwell and today's Pascal architecture graphics card support, continue to eat from the AMD left, the biggest time NVIDIA occupies 80% of the entire alone market, and the high-end graphics market in 3,000 yuan + and above is more monopoly advantages, while AMD monoliths have fallen to 20%, then rely on 14nm Arctic star graphics card. Field, but in 2017, the Q3 quarter retrans into the decline.
AMD why is this year? The root cause is on the graphics card product, the new Radeon RX 500 series in the first half of the year is a new card, actually 14nm Arctic star graphics vest improvement version, architecture, craft and performance have not changed, AMD improves the RX 580 graphics card The core frequency, enriched the RX 500 product line layout, launched the RX 560, RX 550 complement product line. It can't say that the RX 500 series is completely changed, but these small repair small remedies are not enough to swift the market, and then the RX 580 graphics card's suggestion has also risen. (After all, this year's memory granules have a serious price increase), which has led to the lack of attractive AMD new card .
However, compared with the RX 500 series, it is really letting a meal and even all vendors and players' disappointment is still AMD heavy new RX VEGA series is not strong. From 2016, the new architecture of the expected Vega graphics is ultimately listed in August this year. Undema, the RX VEGA graphics card that unveiled the veil is a disappointment of the player, although the AMD filling efforts have made water-cooled VEGA 64, air-cooled VEGA 64 and air-cooled version VEGA 56, the GTX 1080 Ti, GTX 1080, GTX 1070 graphics card, but this start is not good, but the water-cooled RX VEGA 64 is worse than GTX 1080 Ti, but the performance is not as good, the power consumption is much higher.
AMD is connected in the high-end graphics market, NVIDIA, which refuses to get water like a fish - March launched GTX 1080 Ti graphics card, replaced the status of the GTX 1080 graphics card, and the latter price cut, reshape high-end product line. Then introduced a full-body Titan X (Pascal) flagship card, and a wave of belief players were harvested with a price of $ 1200/9499. In the second half of the year, NVIDIA has launched a GTX 1070 Ti graphics card. Although it castrated some GP104 core unit and GDDR5X memory, the frequency is limited, but GTX 1070 Ti graphics card performance is about 5% of GTX 1080, but the price is cheaper at least 500 Powder.
Do you think this is the end? Don't, NVIDIA suddenly released the Titan V graphics card of the Volta architecture, 12nm GV100 architecture, 5120 CUDA core, 12GB HBM2 memory, 110TFLOPS AI performance, price of $ 2999 yuan, price It is comparable to the two-core version of the Titan Z graphics card. The difference is that Titan Z is not very popular. Now Titan V is an invincible to the world, who is.
Looking at 2017, AMD impacts the failure of high-end graphics markets, making many A rice painful, even if nvidia continues to be unique in the graphics market, the style of NVIDIA is in the market for consumers, manufacturers Saying is not a good thing (in turn, a card is not a good thing). However, this year's market situation is not bad for AMD, NVIDIA, because the market is often sold in the previous graphics market to sales, and the revenue decline does not appear, AMD, NVIDIA has encountered a good opportunity to have not encountered for several years this year. Regardless of the graphics card or poor (in the game level), the two sides will not sell this year, and even in the Q3 quarter, many graphics manufacturers have achieved the annual goals. Now, how to have more GPU chips, this year They can count the money in the New Year to cramps.
The most crazy of the graphics card annual review: GPU digging mine anti-fooled, game players are suffering from pool
The great opportunity to let the graphics card manufacturer smile and the New Year is the mining. When it is more than four or five years, it is the trend of the graphics, which also leads to the first time in the graphics market. Outbreak, but after the appearance of the ASIC mine and the pressure of the domestic and international policy, the GPU digging ratio did not have economic interests, and the mining market collapsed once, and Bitcoin fell into silence. However, in 2017, Bitecoin once again broke out. From the beginning of the year, it has increased by more than 15 times from the beginning of the year. Although this month Bitcoin has skyrocketed several times, even the price of $ 10,000, but the market is expected to be very good, expect the 2018 price It can rise to 20,000 US dollars, and it is a heartbeat.
According to the graphics, the graphic card has not been able to dig the proportion, so what is the relationship between Bitcoin? The fact is under the leader of the Bitcoin's geese pattern, 2017, the price of Tai Coin, ZEC coins, the price of the boat, from the beginning of the year The name of the name is changed to the emerging digital currency sought after, among which the big increase of the Taiwan this year has more than 50 times. In this case, the GPU digging mine is reflected, you do not participate in mining, feel like It was missed a few billion.
In the first half of 2017, the magical card market is the most crazy of the graphics. Due to the tariff, the Z coin has no special mine machine, the GPU mining is the mainstream, so the graphics card suddenly became a fragrant, this time does not use the AMD graphics card. The game performance is not good, but it benefits from Hash mining performance, AMD graphics card has become the most popular mining graphics card, so the last half of the year RX 580, RX 570, RX 480, RX 470 and other graphics cards become hard, The original price is more than 1,000, the price of the graphics card is rising, and the RX 580 graphics card will approach 4,000 yuan. Even if it is still in short supply, once the goods can be grabbed in the moment, many miners even went to idle fish Searching the two-hand graphics card, many sellers say the graphics card bought last year, selling second-hand this year not only no loss, but earned hundreds of dollars, this situation is in the past, who dares to believe?
Not only the AMD graphics card is being miner, the foreman is sought after, NVIDIA's graphics card has passed this year, and the Z coin uses N card digging efficiency better, plus NVIDIA Pascal architectural graphics card energy efficiency, so the benefits are also good, so that GTX 1060 The GTX 1070 graphics card is also bought from the miners. In the first half of the year, the N card is also out of stock, and the GTX 1060 graphics can be fried to more than 3,000.
Regardless of the rice or N rice, this year's most hurt is these game players. The demand outside the excavation of this expectation disresses the graphics market, causing a large number of popular graphics cards to increase the price, and the game players have been lacking This pool, and their risk is not just a premium to buy a graphics, and the second-hand mine card is re-inflowing the graphics market. The miners not only dig the mine to make money, but can rely on the sale of second-hand mine card blood, improve the yield of mining However, the quality of the mine card after long-term high load use will also be affected, and after-sales maintenance has become a big problem. This situation is also forcing the upstream manufacturer to change the rules. Or prohibit the graphics card mining, or it is to directly introduce a special mine card for the warranty, while Jingdong and other manufacturers are also due to the rules of the return of the return, the graphics card is no longer supported. 7 days unconditional return.
It can be said that in 2017, the card manufacturer encountered GPU mining, which made them live a happy life. At the beginning of the year, the graphics card can not be sold this year. The result is a predetermined goal in the first three quarters, and how can it be More supply, the most feared inventory is too much now, now become the most eager expectations of graphics card manufacturers, I really don't know if this is crying or laughing.
The most passionate of the graphics card annual review: eating chicken epidemic card, eat chicken tonight?
Digital currency such as Bitcoin This year, this year, this year, in fact, the Chinese policy has been further suppressed, so the GPU mining market almost collapsed, Bitcoin, with a large talent, Z coin price plummeted, and many people launched a mining market, so graphics card The supply situation has improved. However, this year's graphics card market is really great. The GPU mining has not completely refunded, and there is a game to save the graphics market, and even if this game is not exaggerated to save the entire hardware industry. It is not just a graphics card. There are also processors, memory, motherboards, monitors, molar and even chassis, power, almost any product wants to have a point relationship with it.
This game should also guess, "Jedi survive: big escape", everyone is most often to eat chicken games, a "good luck, tonight, eat chicken" spread throughout the north of the Yangtze River, this game is on the Steam platform It has been sold for more than half a year, and the global sales have exceeded 25 million, of which Chinese players accounted for approaching, the influence is almost deep into the streets, and there are how to eat chicken, online broadcast, game website And IT media is talking about eating chicken.
Eating chicken games is the UE4 engine, which is very high for hardware, and the developer blue cave is not larger developer, eats the image quality of the chicken game and the optimization of the top, and it will not be able to be picky before. Players spray slag optimization, but this problem is not light, but drives the development of the game hardware, 1080p smooth runs at least the threshold for GTX 1060 does not block the player's enthusiasm, and people who want to play games have started to install, upgrade. High-end hardware, 8000 or even 10,000 eating chicken hosts are not fresh, such a group of people are still in Tucao Intel squeezing. Hardware upgrades have no power.
Today's eating chicken is not just a simple game. It has made hardware manufacturers understand a truth. It is not a consumer without money. It is no upgrade. It is a good product that will make them pick up in the market. Walking on the road, the driving force of consumers upgrade is still very strong. Now the whole country emphasizes consumption upgrade, and DIY players are the same, they are still willing to pay for this, provided that these products truly touched them.
The most subversion of the graphics card: Intel, AMD is again together, love to kill, to deal with NVIDIA?
Many people didn't expect that Intel is the highest GPU share of GPU, because they buy CPU "send" nuclear display, which makes Intel sitting more than 70% of GPU share - but the game player is not a nuclear approval of Intel Winning, you are not happy, playing games or AMD, NVIDIA is alone. This makes Intel are very embarrassed. As the largest GPU manufacturer, the GPU manufacturer has no speech on the GPU market. You can only look at AMD, NVIDIA sing two people, and there is no possibility of adding in the landlord.
Intel is not awareness of the shame, and then vigorously promotes high performance verification, and even the cost of the GT3E / GT4E with EDRAM caching is high, and the individual IRIS / IRIS Pro (Chinese name " Called with sharp) brand, these nuclear-significant GPU units are much larger than the routine processor, plus high bandwidth cache main force, and the measured performance can also be contrained with some unique sways, no wonder intel Under proud, they claimed that their nuclearity was almost unique. However, the good view is not long, Intel discovers the high-end nuclear nucleus of this cached, and the extra 128MB / 256MB EDRAM caching cost is very high, and the chip complexity is improved, but the audience chats, OEM manufacturers are not happy, and also Can't afford it.
What is this situation INTEL? IRIS high-end core is already dead, Intel is not pushing now. Since the door is not used, then find foreign aid. In the past two years, INTEL has been using AMD's GPU technology to make processors. The two sides come back and return to the rumors, and it is impossible to express this. AMD also cooperates. It will not authorize your own GPU technology to the competitors, and the ear should not announce the love of AMD, and both parties will work together to use the AMD high-performance GPU core for Intel processors. To know AMD, Intel last cooperation is still the ATI era before the acquisition, the earlier cooperation earlier is AMD to Intel as the spare tire of the X86 processor, the difference between the two sides for more than forty years, most of them is in phase Killing, not love, now it is actually one.
According to the details announced by Intel, this cooperation is also very special. Intel has published EMIB multi-chip packaging technology early before, and different IP cores can be packaged into a processor. You can understand this into a glue multi-core, but it essentially Among the conventional glue multi-core high, different chips can be packaged together with the 2.5D stack, similar to the relationship between the HBM memory and the core of AMD. The benefits of doing this are that amd can provide the GPU core directly, do not need to reveal the secrets of their own technology to Intel, but intell Get real high-performance GPU cores and make up your own lack of one ring.
The next day, Intel announced the GPU technology big cow, the former AMD RTG supervisor Raja Koduri joined Intel, chief architect, the newly established core / visual computing business department - considering reality Sex, Intel digging GPU technology big cow is not said that they quickly entered the consumer GPU market. They have to do planning for the growing AI market, but this is also representative of Intel to enter high-performance GPU market. Which day Don't be surprised by INTEL.
Summary: 2017 graphics card crazy walk
Compared with the graphics market that plain into the water last year, the 2017 XF market can really be said to be a crazy, and the mean GPU mining agitates the graphics card market. The hard-ease will turn it back to the bull market. The graphics card is in short supply. The price is also high, which makes AMD even turned over this year, but at least not sell, lost his face, but saved the real benefit. After the mining, the chicken is hot, and further exacerbates the acceptance of high-end graphics cards. For eating chicken, I don't have to start GTX 1080 or even GTX 1080 Ti graphics card players. Near the end of the year, AMD, Intel's news was once again shocked, and there is such an operation? However, I will know more than one of the veteran enemies on the mall. When I said, after all, the ancients will educate us - the world is a big potential, long-lasting, long-term.
