Not something that I've read, but that's very interesting if true. Could also mean a more complex partnership than people are taking at face value. I sorely wish I stayed invested in AMD when it was $1.82 a share.... Only a few months ago.

I definitely saw a few articles about it but I'm struggling to find one because I'm not technically minded and can't remember what any of the key words were. I'm still looking. I think it was something about how the compute units work but my search is only bringing up recent news of these new consoles. This is what the articles were saying AMD would adopt:

The original AMD GCN architecture allowed for one source of graphics commands, and two sources of compute commands. For PS4, we’ve worked with AMD to increase the limit to 64 sources of compute commands — the idea is if you have some asynchronous compute you want to perform, you put commands in one of these 64 queues, and then there are multiple levels of arbitration in the hardware to determine what runs, how it runs, and when it runs, alongside the graphics that’s in the system.

I'm convinced that Google crippled their search algorithm in a meaningful way. There are certain quotes, articles and discussions that I've had trouble finding within the past few months as well.
