Vena said: I don't really care about track records, purely speaking this IS cutting edge technology and AMD has a year headstart on it (at least, who knows how long Nvidia is going to flounder around after their failed attempt). |
This IS a RUMOR ... Believing in the hype will be AMD's downfall and nobody wants a repeat of the "Bulldozer" fiasco.

Vena said: They have every advantage to take here and, given their utter financial straights, they will do whatever they can. They recently did the exact right thing when Maxwell released and slashed prices across the board for their old GPUs to keep themselves relevent in the interim. Its not like they are utterly obtuse and incapable of sound decisions. |
Slashing prices ISN'T a great idea either since it cuts into AMD's profits and their already cash strapped as it is ... No matter how much AMD desires to gain the upper hand for their benefit they can't and they won't be able to deliver it.

And at the end of the day: You DON'T want AMD to fail. Because they are literally the only thing preventing both CPUs and GPUs from turning into monopolies. |
I don't want AMD to fail but their giving me no reasons to be redeemable when they aren't up to the task. Your last line was absolutely hilarious ... As far as anyone's concerned Intel already has a monopoly on the x86 market so AMD already failed to prevent that from happening. You may have a point about GPUs since I sense that Nvidia has even worse intentions than Intel as it is but sooner or later AMD won't be able to keep up since they keep losing money quarter after quater indefinitely.
