Granted, this demo is tailor made to make Polaris look amazing but it also shows the potential of the 14nm FinFET process. In AMD's demo, we can see two machines running a demo of Star Wars Battlefront in which, the Polaris GPU powered machine averages a system power draw of 85W whereas a similarly powered GPU from the competition averages nearly twice the power. Other than the new GPU architecture, Polaris GPUs will also pack in the latest display formats like HDMI 2.0a for HDR video, DisplayPort 1.3, and next-gen multimedia features like 4K H.265 encoding and decoding.
