For the longest time AMD used to a distant second but they came closest with Zen in comparison to the rest of their last decade ... I also don't believe Zen+ will rectify much of Zen's issues. AMD needs a new microachitecture (Zen 2) and possibly a new socket if needed to be competitive ... (AMD shouldn't just stay on one socket if it means they can be more opportunistic about microachitectural optimizations) |
I think Zen+ will bring with it some improvements in areas where it currently falls short.
AMD doesn't need to soundly beat Intel, they just need to be "Good enough" and for the right price.
And on a new fabrication process, hopefully she clocks better as well.
| fatslob-:O said: The 'anti-competitive practices' excuse is played too much, there's a reason why AMD decided to settle the case outside of court instead of pushing Intel for paying even further damages ... It's not Intel's fault that AMD floundered in their hardware design for a decade ... |
Disagree.
Lots of companies settle out of court, because court is expensive and can be drawn out... And the PR can potentially be damaging to a brand.
Intel was Anti-Competitive because they were locking AMD out of the OEM market.
And because Intel locked AMD out of the OEM Market... AMD wasn't able to capitilize on their significant technological advantage they had over Intel.

And StarCraft: Remastered is superior to StarCraft 2 in my eyes.

I am so excited for this. Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis was a damn good game.
But if they can stay true to that formula, they have a winner in my opinion.
The only criticism can give is that it's not Blue Tongue that is developing the game, but considering they closed a while back, that's expected.

The Geforce GTX 1080 is still a great card. And in my opinion the superior choice anyway once you take it's energy consumption into account.
