Can't remember if some of it was photo shopped or not but apparently that logo was debunked and was from another business/building that wasn't related. There is a lab just outside of Wuhan, and apparently it expanded fairly recently.

The one site showed a tweet that was from one of the Corona Extra execs I believe. Could be BS because the opposite is true maybe and they are damage controlling, even though in this case they did nothing wrong.

rDNA is actually a legit medical acronym, which is probably where the initial idea came from, but the book uses all caps by the looks of it like AMD did.

Even if sales picked up, could TSMC keep up with the demand right now with how bad things are over there? Maybe, maybe not.

I sadly believe that demand won't be a problem once this whole COVID problem ends because we're also facing an economical crisis.

PC and gaming sales apparently have been pretty good with everyone being stuck inside for now though. Local stores can't keep consoles and games on shelves. Even the small computer shops have been busier than usual. Used PC parts online are finally starting to pick up as well. I just sold most of my Socket 754 build parts for $75, which ain't bad, and had a couple offers today on the i5 2400 desktop.

In terms of 'Big Navi', ya, you got a point. If this keeps up, later this year that could certainly be a concern, if those products launch by then and aren't held back for more than just manufacturing delays. AMD may have to rethink their strategy and try another Polaris type launch instead perhaps. Radeon 6000 Titan level cards could be a blessing yet a disaster.
