This next generation mini super-computing fire-breathing graphics monster is code named “Dracarys”. The name, incidentally, translates to “dragon fire” in High Valyrian, a language in Game Of Thrones lore. As of today, we’re told, that early Dracarys prototypes are up and running and ready for primetime. In fact, our sources tell us that we’ll get a sneak peak at this Vega 10 powered graphics board as early as next month at Supercomputing 2016.
 
 
... the storage solution in Dracarys is far more integrated and a lot “closer to the metal” so to speak compared to the Radeon Pro SSG. Which is more like a graphics card and a PCIe SSD integrated into one expansion card. Where there are a few hoops that have to be jumped over for the Fiji GPU to access all of the available storage space on the SSD, rather than having it as a direct pool of memory.  In that respect alone, the new Vega 10 powered Dracarys board is very different. Another key difference is the new 20+ FP16 teraflops VEGA 10 graphics engine which has more than double the graphics horsepower of Fiji In the Radeon Pro SSG. Suffice to say, Dracarys is dramatically more potent.

    10K USD for a GPU ... Okuaaay What's the point?
     
    Even so, this looks like some made up trolling nonsense thing, heh.
    It is nothing new on the horizon of how companies like throwing mud to each other, to be honest i am not that all surprised
    And yes I did laugh about it, but that's the minor part.

    @ 3dfx we had adds that had truth in them and they still contain that truth
     
    Like this one:

     
    It may be old, but it contains truth, even so 3dfx's adds make the propaganda  of "Our Product is way better versus that of the other" from NVIDIA & AMD look very immature and useless.
