    The Potential Disruptiveness of AMD’s Open Source Deep Learning Strategy

    In the domain of academic research, deep learning, autonomous driving, data science, etc, absolutely no one uses AMD gpus, because none of the software supports AMD gpus and no one is going to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to develop their own implementation of tools to run on AMD gpus...

    The Potential Disruptiveness of AMD’s Open Source Deep Learning Strategy

    I hope AMD builds up this area and is able to compete, but right now nvidia is the only viable option for any serious research/scientific computing.

    Has anyone here chosen OpenCL over CUDA?

    for machine learning or gpu accelerated neural nets CUDA is the only serious option.

    AMD Fury X Reviews

    usually AMD's follow up generation to high-end missteps are great though, 2900xt -> 4870, 6970 -> 7970 etc, so hopefully the Fury 2 or 490x or whatever will amaze

    AMD Fury X Reviews

    again i feel like this launch is almost an exact replay of the 6970 launch, hyped up to be a 480 killer and AMD's all-out going for the crown card, only to have the 580 come out and it just be ~10% under nvidia's high end again.

    [Various]Radeon Fury X and Radeon Fury coming

    This launch seems reminiscent of the 6950/70 launch. They were hyped up to be AMD's return to the super high end only to end up a few % +/- from nvidia's counter high end. At least everytime AMD missteps they seem to come out with a rockstar of a card not long after, 2900/3870 -> 4800s, 6900s ->...

    [WCCF] AMD Radeon R9 390X Pictured

    Ok so the assumptions you're making: 1) AMD moving their new GPU production to glofo < assumption 2) AMD is also moving hawaii/tonga GPU production to glofo < assumption based on #1 3) hawaii/tonga produced at glofo will have better power consumption/clock speed < assumption based on #2 4)...

    [WCCF] AMD Radeon R9 390X Pictured

    My prediction: Fiji ~$800-1000 depending on if there are cut down versions, and performance all over the place but generally >= Titan X Everything else: a bunch of angry gpu enthusiasts who created complex and intricate hierarchies of speculative hawaii/tonga derived gpus based on the well...

    [chiphell] rumor control: hd 8900 & 8800 series spec's leak, the can of whooptitan@$$

    Maybe instead of a Curacao based 8950 they'll dump all the defect chips into 8990s xD

    Is it me or the new-gen Xbox1/PS4 are underwhelming spec-wise?

    For those saying that the ps4/One hardware is the same relative to current gaming hardware as the 360/ps3 were: The 360 had a sort of hybrid x1800XT/x1900 card which at the end of 2005 was going for $300. The ps4 uses basically a 7850, which is a $160 card, and the One uses a 7790 which is...

    iPad: Not a dent in PC sales -NPD

    I haven't touched my laptop since I got an iPad 2. I guess it's more that I knew the tablet's capabilities and strong points before I got it, and luckily it covers 90&#37; of what I do on a PC. When they come out with coding IDEs on iOS or Android, that will increase to 99%. (Besides heavy-duty...

    Samsung to demo 10.1", 2560x1600 display for tablets

    I could see them (tablet makers) going to 1080p relatively soon, but 2560x1600 is just crazy (awesome). I would be surprised to see this on anything in the next few years. Still, do want.

    Anyone want a Cortex A9 tablet, on the dirt cheap?

    I do like the Wits, I just wish they'd use a different shell by now; maybe make a larger device too. I'd be using mine daily, no doubt, if I'd taken the time to find a stable ROM and get the market working. As it is, any 3D games tend to crash on whatever firmware I've got on it.

    Anyone want a Cortex A9 tablet, on the dirt cheap?

    I have to say, for being generally slow and buggy, after a bit of work the 3 Chinese tablets I've had (Eken M001, Wits A81E, Apad M1001) would have been completely usable if they only had capacitive screens. Especially the Wits. But yeah, my iPad blows them away, as I'm sure any of the Honeycomb...
