We were talking "fused parts"... this is straight renames and higher clocks (aka GTX770).

I never said AMD immune, they... up till this point haven't harvested that many "distinct derivatives" from one wafer.
Not sure that constitutes "changed your tune".
Not very good at subtext are you?
Lets have a look at these "fused" parts:
GK 104 (4, or 3 + 1 OEM)
GTX 660 OEM
GTX 660 Ti
GTX 670
GTX 760
Tahiti (4, or 3 + 1 OEM)
HD 7870 XT
HD 7950
HD 8950 OEM
R9-270 ( re
Gibbo at OcUK : "R270 is HD 7950 re-boxed")
So much for that assumption.
You seem blinkered to the idea that AMD are warming to a business model that has been successful for another company (and kept their own CPU division afloat), that AMD are somehow immune from maximizing ROI in this way. Do you really need a Black or White, Good or Bad paradigm that much?
And of course I was originally responding to this assertion in your post:
Kepler – fused to the enth-degree…
AMD, like they ever imagined deriving 6 models from chips over a year and half old.
Now, since Nvidia don't have 6 models derived from a cut down GK 104, what other interpretation is there other than the fact that you moved the goalposts when your original point failed under scrutiny. There are
only two possible choices: Either you are under the impression that there are 6 cut down GK 104 models (which is false), or you were referring to all GK 104 models excepting the duallie (which is true).
. I KID, I KID!
