New member: Hello from SAM and AMD

[Black Octagon]

^Nice

However, I would like to know if/when we can expect Sam to answer to some of the NON-cryptic questions posted so far, i.e.,

When the 7000 series launched AT and other sites reported that AMD would be expanding its driver development team. With the recent introduction of frame pacing technology into 13.8 Beta there has clearly been an increase in activity, but is the originally-announced expansion now 'complete' or is further intensification of the driver development work still foreseen for the future?

Is AMD aware its graphics switching technology is generally considered to be buggy and lacking features? If so, how does AMD plan to improve in this area?

I have a couple of questions. Was VI ever considered for the 20nm node? Will VI be manufactured elsewhere besides TSMC? Also is sideport ever coming back? I'm kidding on the last one, or am I....

Before the whole issue about framepacing, frametimes, etc., came to light and the AMD driver team had to focus on that, there was talk about a memory controller rewrite for 7000 series cards. Is that still happening, and if so is there any estimate on when it will be released in a driver update? Or was it already released and we just didn't notice it?

When can we expect the framepacing drivers for multi-screen resolutions?
