Yeah good point.Why not? It consumes less power and produces less heat so it's more effective for any type of usage and better for the build overall.
Forget what i said earlier.

By the way, if you can wait until next year, you can get 14nm Broadwell CPU instead of Haswell. It might even become available in stores this year still.
The inevitable GTX 980ti is also coming in the near future
Is there an estimate for the 16nm chip? I'm waiting with my new computer as close as I can to TW3. If this chip is expected to be released a month - give or take - after the game's release it might be worth the wait. If it's significantly better. I have no clue what it means.
16 nm when the GTX 900 series is not 20 nm?
Give it half a decade at least.
No, they can't.
It's not clear why, at least from your explanation. Not enough time or too many orders booked before them? If capacity isn't an issue, why would TSMC deny any such orders?
May be Nvidia should follow Intel's method then and build their own factories. It's quite an expense of course which Intel handles because they are huge.
And what about others, do Qualcomm use their own factories?
Apple pulled their chip business from Samsung, took it to TSMC, and disrupted the whole chip market. Not that Samsung is any help with Maxwell, because they can't manufacture 20nm anyway.
I'm on the same boat. Waiting for my MSI Gaming 4Gs to arrive.Sorry to interrupt but I'll hijack this PC building thread to ask Asus Strix GTX 970 owners what they think of their card. I ordered an MSI GTX 970 4G a few weeks ago from Amazon.com and I'm still waiting for it to be processed (probably a huge list of back orders) but I just noticed the Asus is available for the same price.
All the reviews I've read favor MSI and I have personally had excellent experiences with MSI video cards. This is kind of a big deal for me since I only get a new GPU every 3 or 4 years and I would be replacing an MSI GTX 560 Ti
So... comments?
If you only upgrade your GPU every 3 or 4 years, then I suggest you wait for the next line up. I say this because 970 and 980 run cooler than the 770 and 780 and 780 ti and require less power, but they are not that much faster than those cards. And biggest problem is the 4 GB memory of the cards, since there is a trend of games requiring more and more GPU RAM to run. The GPU RAM requirements are ridicules and it's probably because of bad optimization, but it doesn't matter wether it's bad optimization or not because you want to play the games anyways and it is what it is. I think we'll see a true increase in raw processing power of the cards and possibly higher GPU RAMs in the the next line up.Sorry to interrupt but I'll hijack this PC building thread to ask Asus Strix GTX 970 owners what they think of their card.
