Yeah, they do have "something" with their iGPU/QSV and their memory controllers, but compute wise, they gave up with the super hot + clock work and utilizing "crap cores". Reminds me a whole lot of the Netburst era. Warning: Intel recovered from their last big mistake (P4 Netburst era) in a...

No. AMD announced it's biggest marketshare (against Intel primarily) in long time, in fact, I don't think it's been higher. But still, not even half, not even a third of the markets.

It's the "add" (or in some cases the "ad"). As someone who has been around for awhile, change. Change is always change. But again, a year from now, it won't matter, everyone will have new shiny machines with Windows 11.

Obviously people can run unsupported and without security and driver updates for as long as they wish. You are correct.

Same ole song, "Heck no, we won't go!!" You don't have a choice, different song in a year.

Imagine a beowulf cluster of Cheyenne computers.

Even the last user of water blocks, JayZ has a video.

You may "hate monopolies", but companies usually do not want to be regulated as one. Nvidia will "provide the loan" to keep the competitor alive, if that's what it takes IMHO (but we'll see, I mean it could cost Nvidia billions if they are found to be a monopoly).

IMHO, Nvidia has to have something "real" with regards to competition. If not AMD, it will become Intel. Maybe MSI is truly betting on the latter (?)

Hee hee.... sort of reminds you of pre-Proton (Steamdeck) days of not having many (Windows) games in Linux. I'm sure everyone is "right on this", getting their games ready for Snapdragon X. (of course, it does depend on Microsoft's commitment on this... so, gaming could happen... maybe...)

True, but maybe "less true" in today's "small world". I know that if you're not afraid to deal with region issues, you often get certain content when you go "outside" your own country. Many years ago, I did that to get "Bringing Up Baby" (the old Cary Grant classic) on DVD. Of course, soon...

To me, it's hard to predict "what will last". I mean, I don't like disco, it was a short lived fad. I think rap is far worse, yet... here we are. Doesn't make sense to me. Almost random.

I don't think the idea is to "cease brain activity", those that are trying to protect "our ground" realize that you also have to ensure longer term use. However, I know of lots of companies that appreciate what you just said.

Me too. I'm not ready to expose my belly for free for everyone. Not going there. And IMHO, those that "give in" the "those with our best interests at heart", well, it may sound like it's a good thing... but maybe it isn't. Be careful not to blindly trust because it's "cool to do so." (but...

But, by that (somewhat flawed) argument, CDs/DVDs/Blurays must come into "itchy-ness" at some point. Regardless. I've got a frame grabber.... there is a "solution" to streaming madness and it's built-in "lack of reliability". I strictly have "the devices" for the purposes of putting the...
