I feel much the same with their CPU division. While I don't think anyone needs more than 16 cores... there was a time when nobody needed more than 4. then suddenly, AMD whipped Intel's ass into gear and 8-cores became the norm, and anyone with 4...
Thank you for the correction.
I don't think they went to shit immediately at the point of the merger, but rather it marked the peak, and everything from then onward was downhill, each release closer to the minimum-viable-product and "use games...
I agree with you on every point.
Including the point that AMD just lets them win. Every time. It's like on the off chance that they CAN compete, they wait right at the finish line just to let Nvidia run past.
Oh, people think this generation...
Man there is a lot of Nvidia bias in here...lol. The 7000 series are not bad cards to be honest, just not the best prices from either maker this time around. I just put together a 7900XT rig for a bud...Beast of a machine, performance sitting...
Always so surprised how much of a fan base blizzard has. Let's be honest, they have made shit games for roughly a decade now if not more. I say that coming as a blizzard fan from back in the day. Starcraft 1/2, Diablo 1/2, Warcraft 3, and OG WoW...
Not really.
Nvidia does not need any external competition, They've pretty much dominated every market they chose to compete in. I hate monopolies, but even when Radeon was in its prime: Nvidia never had competition. They did not stop innovating...
they're splitting up the company into 3 different companies, but there's also this:
So the the guy whose failing at running 1 company is now going to be failing to run 3 seperate companies.
I'mma short it.
Reminds me of that time that guy from Blizzard got up on stage and said that he 'admits' to 'not doing the right thing' and never specifically apologizes OR mentions ANYTHING to apologize for, just that "we should do better" in a somber tone and...
AMD would be incredibly, unfathomably stupid if they didn't support AM5 with modern CPUs for at LEAST 3 REAL generations.
The issue is, AMD has been incredibly, unbelievably stupid before....
