Thanks. Mine were wrong.

Hopefully they release it. I miss the old days of both companies releasing tech demos.

One thing AMD dominates at; they pack more slides into a show than anyone else, hands down. 123 slides total.

Looks good though. I can't wait to see the reviews.

I'd say the biggest reason is energy, like everyone else. But also, being able to make your room into any fantasy scenario you want would probably lead to problems with adjusting to everyday life. They don't need a whole ship full of Barclays screwing up at their job.

As impressive as their “Ryzen moment” was, AMD still hasn’t gotten 50% of the market after half a decade.

As much as I love AMD, they will follow Nvidia because they’re a follower. They unlaunched the 9070 at CES because they were unsure about Nvidia’s pricing. They changed their naming scheme to match Nvidia.

They changed their laptop naming scheme to match Intel. They pushed their earnings release date back so they could report after Intel (Intel pushed their own back the previous quarter).

You see, sometimes people say, “Why are you always trailing?” Well, we’re trailing because we’re following the [Total Available Market] of where the market is, and we’re letting them create some of this market because they are the only ones that really can when you have the kind of position that they have in the industry. We have to time it.
We either have to give you less, somewhere else — so, compromises — or we’d have to raise the price points, which is something they are already doing. So why have two people do exactly the same thing, trying to build these leadership products out there? - Frank Azor, chief architect of gaming solutions and gaming marketing at AMD source

AMD is content with being a second source supplier to Nvidia and Intel. After years of losses and near bankruptcy, AMD has finally figured out how to make a profit while being in second place. They're in their comfort zone, and there's no incentive for them to step out of it.

I can't say they'll screw it up, but I will say that AMD won't produce enough cards to move the market or bring prices down. Their current lineup is still selling above MSRP, meaning there's more demand than supply.

AMD, like any company, would rather earn a fat profit margin on a few sales than a thin profit margin on a ton of sales. It's less work for them, plus high prices keep their add-in board partners happy.

We had to listen to them bitch and whine about having to make more 9800X3Ds and that's their darling, so I really don't think they're going to show much love to their red-headed stepchild, Ruby*.

Beautiful response.

My first thought was "But have you tried the ...?" But I can't remember how it goes.

Where did that originate?

[–] OpticalMoose@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 5 months ago

I haven't seen it. But to be honest, I haven't watched a Marvel film since Avengers: Age of Ultron. It just feels like they're recycling the same stuff over and over.

Wow, I didn't know Titanic was even on Laserdisc. Good luck, I hope you complete the set.

So far, Glory is the only movie I have on two formats, VHS and DVD.

I do some coding now and then, and I learned the hard way those two are not the same. I shall join your fight.

Good memories. Although, it's a little embarrassing when Ajumma has her tent set up before you get your site set up. Generator, lights, gas stove, heater, tables, chairs, everything.
