Isn't that what Transmeta tried to do? Anyway off topic so I will stop.

There is not. I suggest you look up copyright vs patent. The thing is AMD & Intel patent things all of the time, so it is not really viable for someone else to try to do x86.

Nah, it's patented so 20 years. Doesn't really matter is stuff like AVX is still covered.

Why do you think I got the 5700? ;)

Unfortunately seller protections are non-existent and have been for a long time. Still doesn't justify stupid asking prices. I got a 6600 XT for ~210 total a month ago, not terrible. The 6600 XT's are drying up though but there seem to be an abundance of non XT's. I would've preferred a 6700XT...

They're pretty solid though I like GN better. I used to like LTT but they are crap to put it nicely. Haven't watched the video yet but I look forward to it. I almost got a 5600 XT but was worried about the VRAM. That sure turned out to be right.

Not my (our) problem. Intel wants to enter a new market they should be competitive.

Great, more people will start saying how HUB hates Nvidia and are pro AMD.

I don't want to see Intel fail but I am also against bailing out companies that made piss poor decisions. I don't know what the answer is.

Why should you, as a buyer, have to make an offer? They as the seller should set a price. Unless of course you are talking about eBay where the offer but it now OBO and set a comically absurd price?

I actually kind of think that you are right about Intel using 18A for low end/low power chips and N2 for the rest in the immediate future.

I kind of wish there was a difference between the laughing emoji and using it sarcastically. A "sarcastic" laughing emoji would let me know if @511 agrees with me or thinks I'm wrong for blaming RPL. I know you're an Intel supporter, but I think you also have reason and a sense of humor...

That's just cope and not wanting to blame it on RPL.

It doesn't work like that. Just because you got in the door first doesn't mean many years down the line you are still rewarded seniority over him. The guy may have been a brown noser or know someone or may be legitimately more valuable. Someone is keeping him there for a reason though and it...

At least now I know, thanks. I thought I might've been missing something.
