Na Gamers aren't special. What competition are we talking about ? We have 2 x86 companies. We have had 2 GPU companies.... I guess we almost have 3 now. 2.5 ? I'm not saying they should stop selling to gamers. But if supply and demand makes CPUs or GPUs more expensive. I'm sorry but why would...

Exactly I don't blame Nvidia for cashing in either. They made a product that does what it is supposed to do well.. and it sells. Hard to imagine why they would want to handicap one market for another... gamers aren't special. If AMD ends up in the same situation good on them. Its not like some...

Looking forward to the Intel implementation.... Process 4444 core 22 Save Cache data Process 4445 core 36 requests load Cache data Hypervisor check privilege level for process 4445...... NAAA just give em the data checks take too long.

How AMD wants to tackle? The Issue? Frankly why would AMD be upset that people want to buy their CPUS? Buying a CPU to COMPUTE things... is exactly the point of designing and selling cpus. So the issue is people want to buy CPUs from AMD... cause they made a capable product that can perform...

Its not a provable number in anyway no. I also don't really care. Sure if Linux hits some magic number maybe more official support form companies such as you say Adobe happens. For the most part though ya if its 2% or 6% or 10% it isn't going to much change my life or the life of most Linux...

This is a win and all. But 4% was always low. I have always said the web site visit sample things... aren't all that accurate in regards to Linux. I mean first what do you count as Linux? Secondly the venn diagram of Linux users, and users who have their browser mask their OS has a sizable...

AMD has refused their pro drivers. They create them yes... but they are not cutting edge drivers. They are aimed specifically at old life time service setups. The pro drivers are updated a 1/4 as often if that. AMDs own work is on their open source driver. A few times a year they push a super...

Your point is mostly valid. HDMI is not AMDs alone. However HDMI isn't a company. Its an agreed on industry standard with development on the standard and its specs performed by the core members of the forum of which AMD is one. The standard was initially developed by the likes of Sony...

Having listened to Pat enough at this point I don't believe 2 years is enough for Intel. lol Considering all the old fab issues where the result of things put in place by Pat while he was CTO.... we now get to see if he learned anything. My guess he is still of the thinking "Intel our engineers...

At least they are continuing the long history of look a like less then windows devices.

They are going to get replaced there as well. lol

I have to admit when I saw the game today I laughed pretty hard. You know your reboot is going well when.... damn Epic didn't even give them a big release day in the order of daily giveaways. lol

Yes you get less transistor cross talk. If a ray hits a transistor it can effect those around it as well... so the tighter the package the more likely it is a ray can cause multiple flips. The rad hardened designs purposely spread logic out... to avoid cascade type failures. Shrunk processes are...

Reminds me of that Janitor I mentioned. I mean they always paid him... but when the company went public the founder made sure he rewarded a handful of people that were there with him when he legit had issues making paydays on time. I heard stories about how he would have the heat in the building...

Cosmic rays cause issues for CPUs even on earth. A ray passing through a CPU can bump the voltage in a path and corrupt a calculation or stored bits. This effects power amplification circuits the most as one particle can cause a cascade. Thing is cosmic rays can pass through the earth and other...
