Because the number of transistors doesn't directly correlate to performance

>>60248949
Because their clocks and bandwidth are different, their frontend isn't 50% bigger on the 1070 to feed the extra shit.
tl;dr hardware isn't 2+2

>>60248949
1070 doesn't just have 50% more transistors, it has 50% CUDA cores two. Theoretically, wouldn't 1.5x cuda cores perform 50% faster than x cuda cores at the same clocks?

>but cores
What do you think cores are made of? Pixie dust? It's still transistors.

>>60248886
gtx 1060 has newer aluminum gpu armor which shields it from heat which means better performance than expected

>>60249069
1070 and 1080 have the same amount of transistors but different number of cores.

>>60249094
That's because the 1080 and 1070 are the exact same chip with the 1070's transistors/cores being fused off.

This is basic, it has been done for 2 decades.

>>60249120
I know, this isn't really relevant to the question. What exactly limits the 150% of cores of the same architecture clocked the same perform 50% better in real world applications?

>>60249145
Bandwidth and frontend performance.

It's the same with Fury X and Hawaii, the former had 50% more cores but the same frontend as Hawaii but it only was 15-20% faster

>>60249169
what exactly is front end? vram and voltage control?

>>60249199
Geometry units, prefetchers, decoders, etc basically the initial stage of the pipeline

>>60249226
The command scheduler should go into the frontend as well
