They thought DX12 was coming a lot faster then it actually did so bulldozer and later CPU's were Dead On Arrival.
They thought Intel would just stick with netburst based designed for years. They couldn't beat the Due or the i* series.

Currently there isn't. Zen will be passable enough to be competitive (I'm not saying great). Vega will be MEH.

The issue is Intel isn't doing shit. Their CEO is a flaming retard who has fired engineers for now turning out new core architecture improvements in <5 weeks. 10nm is likely going to be delayed until 2019. Coffee Lake will literally be Skylake 3: I pray to god you are still buying our CPU's. Likely with some small core clock increases.

If Zen works out _okay_ later generations will be great. There will be a lot of low hanging fruit to optimize. They'll likely get purchased by GlobalFounderies if that happens as that's Intel's old CEO who was actually competent (noticed GloFlo is doing well?).

Because AMD was heavily involved into creating and promoting Mantle which is pretty predecessor of Vulkan. Vulkan games favor AMD because it uses async which right now at least unitl Volta is AMD exclusive and it shows massive performance gains. Nothing wrong with that, if every AAA game out there was coming out with async I'd buy AMD card myself, but it isn't, it's literally supported by 9 games and 2 of them (AotS and DOOM) are like a mantra for every AMD fanboy. I find it's kind hilarious when I see a heavily favored AMD shill review where 50% of games are either Vulkan or DX12 when in reality 95% of games you gonna play in 2017 and the ones made in last years are running in dx11 where a 480RX loses to a heavily oced 970.

>>58581045
Dunno about burger prices but in UK either 3gb 1060 or 4gb 480... You could buy a stock 480, underclock it so it never reaches 70 degrees and it still would be faster than 470.

Only biggest retarded AMD morons buy a 470 when a 480 is actually cheaper and around 10 faster. Their whole line up makes no god damn sense.

combination of incompetent management and facing an oponent that is 20 times bigger. The culmination was trying to go for high clock design when your main competitor's high clock design was the thing that brought you to prominence.
>>
>>58578314
Targeting the low-end.
Every GPU has a specific amount of money which needs to be spent to build it. When you sell a 200 dollar GPU when it takes the same or a slightly larger amount of money to build a 300 dollar GPU, the 300 dollar GPU is making more profit. Combine that with people leaning to the high-end for lots of things and AMD's brand being bad, and you get Nvidomination, which is sad cause the RX 480 is a fine card.

Are you taking the piss? Nvidia runs like shit on DX12, and most current AAA titles run better in DX11 for them.

woooow you're retarded.

Nvidia just doesn't support AMD's version of async that was written into the core of mantle and carried over to vulkan.
It's like they don't support freesync even though they could if they weren't so proud of themselves.

Nvidia has CUDA which implements its own version of async compute. Afaik it's really more for multimedia and business software at the moment but I'm sure they're hard at work implementing it into gameworks so they can cuck AMD and any of their own previous gen cards like they always do.

No it doesn't you tard. The polaris chip was designed for the absolute highest yields possible. It's also designed to get by with not so spectacular VRM and other low quality board components.

Keep in mind that until like a month ago most OC rx 480 8gb's were selling for ~$300 since inception and were sold out for months even at that price.

They made a $200 GPU they could sell for $300. Not that it really matters though since they only sell the chip itself to third parties.

intel is at a 'dead end' till at least 2020, possibly 2021, and that's if they find it easy to make a better cpu than they did with the pentium 3... something they are still using as a base... almost 20 years after it came out... and the itanium failed, and netburst failed, and its at this point you realize that amd has a better track record with new core arches than intel does.

We could very well be looking at the limits for single threaded computing for our current ways of designing computers. No significant progress has been made on that front in the past half decade and even IBM can't beat Intel in terms of single threaded performance.

That could be good news for AMD if you look at it as their opportunity to catch up but it's bad news for the entire rest of humanity, unless we see a radical departure from our current ways of doing things.

AMD had a major advantage by creating the x64 expansions to x86 which run 32bit programs without emulation. Intel wanted to replace x86-32 with Itanium which is terrible at emulating x86. They also were lucky with K8 AMD64 when intel was still trying to get the awful netburst architecture to work.

nah, its because nvidia are such massive cunts to work with as a business. intel licensed nvidia gpu base patents for 1.5 billion dollars, back in 2011 nvidia is likely asking for a fuck load more money, and amd is sitting in the corner 'hey, pay off our debts and we good to go for years'

and that's how nvidia just fucked themselves, by being such a cunty company to work with they just gave amd, who is set to be a significant force in the pro market with 16fp being the new hot thing, capital to further fund being a force that can drive nvidia out.
>>
Terrible, most autistic fanbase of shitposters on Internet, literally anything that comes out of AMD's drone mouth is always some kind of autistic screeching. Their ability to discard any facts is truly magnificent. Every pro-AMD argument I see on this retarded knitting forum has the same issue of being cherry picked.

- Muh Ryzen 40% IPC gains! Intel has no gains! (Discards the fact that Intel can afford releasing a new line up every year and that we are reaching absolute silicon limits so AMD is simply getting where Intel was for years)
- Muh 480RX being $50 cheaper than 1060 while being faster! (Discards the fact that reference cards aren't even available, probably because they ran too hot so AMD decided to drop them altogether, meanwhile any decent, faster 8gb version of 480RX costs as much as a good 1060 gtx 6gb card and MSRP simply doesn't exist)
- Muh async and DX12/Vulkan performance in newest games! (Discards the fact that Vulkan is DOA and exists in 6 titles while DX12 requires a botnet OS)

If everything else fails and you point out that they're full of shit they will either call you a shill/start screeching about normies buying "inferior" Nvidia/Intel products.

LEL. AMD simply gets all those scraps where they barely break even on sales. Same applies to consoles.

>>58599808
yea... you know about 75%+ of people who play games on pc use intel igpu, along with amd's apus?

And when not used in games, really is more than anyone really needs unless they got a shit cpu and a new coded is hammering it hard.

>>58599932
I would honestly be shocked if the next nintendo consoles, if they continue with the mobile+home route, is another cellphone cpu apposed to an amd zen apu.

Nvidia was the only option this time around due to them having an already made and ready as of 2+ years ago cpu+gpu combo good enough for gaming.

Hell, if nintendo was smart they would start up a 2-3 year cycle where they support a console for 4-6 years with a more powerful variant every 3 to retain not only backwards compatibility but to keep the games going forward.
>>
>>58599801
to the first point... intel has been on the pentium 3 core for what? over 20 years at the point they will have a new core? and the last 2 core arches they tried to make failed miserably. are we REALLY at the edge of what silicon can do, or did we just assume intel was the grand master and nothing else could be better?

second point, a 480 4gb on newegg right the fuck now is 159.99 with the cheapest 8gb being 200

Because the 1060 cut the die on the 3gb version I wont even consider that as its worse then the 480 by default. The cheapest 1060 6gb is 239.99

Now just for shits and giggles, the HEAVILY gimped 1060 3gb because they cut the fucking die and still have it as the same branded card this fucking piece of shit costs 194.00

so the cheapest 480 compared to the cheapest 1060 is 80$ price difference, the 8gb is a 40$ price difference, and in dx11, it WAS sub 2% worse overall, but a new driver and new optimizations pushed it ahead in dx11, likely wont see benchmarks till vega comes out though or another year passes and hardwarecanucks decides to do another 1060 v 480 round up.

we will see with the apis, as they make VERY good use of hardware, and are used across everything but an xbone who is trailing this gen. we will likely see devs wanting to hit more things with less work so a move toward vulkan is likely, especially if win10 numbers don't get significantly better as you would have to abandon a fairly big chunk of the game playing population to go dx12 only.

AMD has been thinking more towards the future then the present. Some of it doesn't pan out, like bulldozer, other times it's a work in progress. That being said by focusing on what may happen vs what is happening, they've been falling behind in the present. We've only just recently seen their thinking pay off in terms of product but even then it's kind of sketchy if they'll produce.

Not really. Other things have gone up in price due to higher import costs but nothing like tech. Most companies absorb costs from shifting exchange rates and accept that they make different levels of profit in each region because of varying living standards and wages, etc. Not tech companies though - as soon as the pound falls, prices go up immediately and they just shrug their shoulders in response.

Always an audiophile meme that was sometimes even worse
>Network cards
Because it's integrated on the board and does nearly an identical job in every aspect, unlike an iGPU

no, a lot of the onboard nics will have a lot of the workload handled by the cpu.

They have always bought refurb or damaged lot etc.

Even better, that means cheaper mobos

This is good, craftsmanship will become important again. Tight fast optimized code architected properly.

>I doubt if amd releases the second coming of christ in cpu format they would drop price,
well, AMD 64 was that, and they didn't
you understand x64 was a revolution comparable to first hardware shader?

And intel bribed OEM that day. The year going to be interesting either way.

Thats why I said second coming, I seen those numbers.

Nothing wrong here at all.

What AMD did wrong you ask?

Good question...I don't rightly know...my system is fine.

Let me put it this way, I have a reasonably priced 8 core cpu for under 100 That runs almost anything at 1080p high to max settings (8320e not even overclcoked...works fine) and a GPU that runs about anything I want to run at 1080p (sapphire rx470 8gb)...and I have room for a few upgrades if I need them.

I suppose I can always add more ram (in only at 8gb 2133mhz and my mobo can handle 32gb) or I can add another rx470 (i have an extra GPU slot I'm not using) or perhaps an sad...but everything I do runs fine.

This setup was pretty cheap and its been reliable and functional. Can do any daily task I demand and play some recent aaa games. At 1080p what exactly am I missing?

So yeah I don't really get the AMD hate. I'm not running 1440p or some other meme resolution and I don't care much about benchmarks if it continues to work fine with no issues or stuttering.

So why should I give one hot shit? I'm not missing out on anything I want so...yeah...the Fuck is everyone else's dilemma?

Btw games I played recently at max settings:
Alien isolation.
Hit man.
Dues ex mankind divided.
The resident evil 7 demo.
Tera mmorpg.
A few other older games...stalker and such.

Everything I want to play works fine. AMD did perfectly right by me as a customer.

Tl;dr
My cheap AMD system works great and was worth the money. It was a reasonable price. Plays almost everything at 1080p.

So why is there a stick up your asses about it?
>>
>>58615146

>1440p is a meme resolution
>Things I can't afford are just memes

This is why you are poor.
>>
>>58615203
Actually I make about 80k a year as a welder.

Simply that 1440p isn't as impressive as it's cost. Its not a value.

And something us people with money know that you poor fucks do not is blowing your money on bullshit is a great way to no longer be well off.

Intel effectively bribing the likes of HP and Dell to only not use AMD chips in the early-mid 2000s. They gave any manufacturer who only used Intel CPUs a big discount. This underhand tactic was most prevalent when Pentuim 4 was being destroyed by Athlon 64 in performance and power consumption.

Then there was AMDs new CEO, who took over in 2002. Things where fine for a couple of years, but mostly because all of AMDs successfull products (like K8) had alread started development. He fucked up AMDs 65nm schedule, putting AMD way behind Intel in the process node race, and leading them to eventually go fabless. He overpaid for ATI, and decided against a merger with nVidia because he wouldn't be CEO of the new company. Pushed out Phenom way to ealry, instead of giving engineers a chance to fix it's cache issues, causing Phenom to be practically DOA. Firing essential engineers to keep the computer a float. There's more I'm sure, but this is probably the worst of it.

Intel's anti comepetiveness held AMD back a lot, but didn't kill them. Hector Ruiz did.

Not only nvidia supports "AMD's version of async" it's better at it than AMD.

How much lower do you think it will get? I really want to buy before zen release causes it to skyrocket.
