Now while we have already seen several articles showing off the market share difference, this one breaks it down quite a bit further. Considering most people don't actually use laptops to mine (though there are some), the laptop numbers are nuts.

This chart also shows AIB market share differences:

Cloudflare says Intel is not inside its next-gen servers – Ice Lake melted its energy budget

If there's one sector that does care about power consumption, it's certainly the datacenters. If Intel doesn't come up with a competitive product while using a lower power consumption... Well there's only one way to go for AMD and that's up!

If they're so proud of that, they could remove Denuvo from Ace Combat 7! It's two years old and the best selling AC game ever, why do they keep that God Damned Denuvo on?

Careful, you don't want that drool to end in your keyboard .

That chart...

You know, you have to give AMD some credit for what they've done: after years of products that were only able to match Nvidia's mid/mid-to-high cards, they finally managed to come back with competing products abroad the whole tiers, only to royally f*ck it up and putting themselves in a worse position than they one they had back during their last GCN cards (RX 400/500).

It's quite impressive.

Well, for some tasks there's also AMR-based servers. And if power consumption is important for them, that's another option.

Hopefully, the price increase is only because of the current shortage due to closed plants and they'll go back down soon.

Come on SE, please don't be a hoe and make it EGS exclusive.

Sadly coming off from Kingdom Hearts and SE's history of taking money hats I'm gonna guess its going to be a timed exclusive :/

AW Remaster is interesting though. I wonder if there big improvements with better assets or just a 'HD' touchup with better textures. Still have the original on Steam so I'm not too bothered on double dipping unless its a massive upgrade.

They make one more deal with the and I'm never buying from SE again.

Publishers have been making damn sure I don't buy from them again the past 2 and a half yrs so far. 

Imagine FFXVI going EGS exclusive as well, going by SE's history of money hat deals. 

Well, from what we've found so far, going EGS excludive is like getting free money. You get their millions, sell a few hundred thousand copies, amybe a couple millions at most, and then launch your game on Steam where you'll make most of your sales as usual.

And being Square Enix, the game will still be full price when it comes to Steam, so yeah, it's free extra money for them.

I do have the game on my PS5 but I'd much rather double dip on my PC. But if SE wants EGS exclusive, then I'll get it through.... Other methods... Until it's on steam that is...
