I wasnt saying what was right, I was saying what I actually see in most cases! =)

I dont disagree here, but most people just want something to work and don't care HOW it works. If its your job you can't give up, if its not your job then yes most people just give up. In the context of RAS features and function its going to be someones job that make them learn that or the...

I know tons of server side IT people that wouldnt know that level of detail. Remember that your level of desire to know how things work is likely not generally shared, and alot of people never get to know this level of detail unless it breaks something and they have to learn!

Nice Job Igor! :p

I know this is the wrong place to ask but I will ask anyway as I know a few people here may help =) Does anyone know any of the mods or someone on B3D that can help me recover my account? Since they switches to login needed to read, I am currently SOL. PM me if you can help or put me in touch...

Depends on their reasoning which I am not privy to. If there were issues or they believed they would gain a very strategic advantage the no. If they did it just to build more stock.... then yes I would say that is pretty silly.

I don't think its horrible, seems to have worked for AMD in the past. The Nvidia comparison isn't relevant as its apples to oranges. The 5090 and 5080 are the same general manufacturing process. Zen X3D relies on the base Zen chip. So for the X3D to be completed the Zen chiplets have to be...

Color? Smell?

Never underestimate how greedy applications can be.

I am no expert for sure, but I have read some conversations around this point. 1. Ray tracing isnt just 1 operation there are many parts to it and some of those parts are black boxes to developers 2. One of those black boxes is the BHV format and query mechanisms My high level take away is that...

Im pretty sure that slide is years old, I believe I saw that in the RDNA 2 launch. If that was recent it would not have said "Advanced Node" for the delivery as that was in stone quite a while ago.

So cards were available at MSRP.... but.... the MSRP was fake. They never said 100% of cards would be available at 599$. They never said AIB's wont sell enhanced cards above 599$ Therefore cards were available at MSRP, and it wasn't fake. Just for discussion sake... what % of cards would make...

AMD never said they were going to change the market in 1 quarter, that is a false assumption which your are ignoring. Getting that much market share takes time and they know it. So the above doesn't in any way justify the insane finacial risk that comes with it. No real business would EVER take...

It is like it take 3 months (or more) to make a new CARD. Let me break this down a bit (which will still be high level) AMD: Hey we need to get high volume production. AMD: Has to get approval to even thing more on this - OK! - Let get this moving. AMD: How much should we build...

No goal switching, now, thats not what you said! I was using your words, and you seem to be purposeful missing the point. In no SANE world would AMD take a risk that would mean they could supply both their normal market and NVIDIA's whole market.
