Wrong way round.
BECAUSE you declared you are an AI first company, your gaming revenue crashed 40%
Gee I wonder why people stopped being able to upgrade their hardware. So weird…
Fuck you Lisa. All my goodwill towards AMD is now gone.
Just in time for the AI bubble to pop. Enjoy.
Some previously unknown Chinese manufacturere will see this opportunity and rush to deliver something. The first generation will be weak, but subsequent iterations will improve drastically, to the point where the market share will never come back to a US company.
🤞I’d rather not support American trash.
They already are. The writing is one the wall as AMD and Nvidia prepare to forget about games.
China has a home grown gfx in the low end Intel has a mid range card. China will iterate fast as we know. We just need Intel to stay the course and continue and not drop out but it seems likely they will drop out, which is a shame as the Arc B580 I have is amazing
The government will ban it before that ever happens
Motherfucker.
Hang on to your hardware, PC folks. It’s gonna be a long ride back to reality.
My five year old PC just died and I already can’t replace some of the components new.
I bit the bullet this summer and built brand new. I’ve checked the same parts several times since and all but the CPU have gone up.
This rig better last me a long time!
9800X3D and 9070XT for reference. Only 32 GB RAM. 800€ was painful enough….
Asshole
My exact response.
Godamnit. I had been hoping that as Nvidia reels from the inevitable AI collapse, AMD would be poised to become the leader in the gaming space.
AMD and Nvidia are currently run by the same family. They are first cousins.
never bet on a silicon valley ghoul to be smart sane or humane.
Lisa’s been attending Trump dinners since last year IIRC. She was never going to be a savior to gamers when AI revenue is way juicier.
Sure, go party with Trump. Hint: Americans who are worried about being able to afford food and fuel aren’t buying Ryzens and Radeons.
The major corps have abandoned gamers.
Maybe there’s hope in the startup world, but I am skeptical:
If this is even half as performant as they promise, it will be a game changer.
However, I’m old enough to remember what happened to 3DFX. I really don’t want Nvidia to eat this company.
I wouldn’t be too optimistic about startups these days, either. As soon as they become any threat to the incumbents, they’ll either get priced-out, or bought-out. And thats not taking into account the software/driver support for gaming technologies (ask early adopters of Intel Arc). I’m sure Bolt have some really nice technology, but essentially that could just boil down to a portfolio of useful patents.
this does not inspire confidence.
Introducing the Fastest Graphics Processor Ever
We built a completely new graphics processor to enable faster renderings and simulations for users in the creative, gaming, and research industries.
GPU where?
I thought the same thing. There was a graph for ray tracing but nothing else about the GPUs. This looks to be selling an idea, not an actual product.
That’s because they’re not doing shading IIRC. It’ll be purely path traced games ONLY. I suspect you’d have to run other games on your IGP.
I’m not sure what you’re asking. Graphics processor and Graphics Processing Unit are synonyms, no?
I just wonder if we need 2000€ GPUs anymore to render games…
Maybe we’re at the dawn of a new gaming era? Like if you make a game fun, it doesn’t have to have like perfectly rendered ears of a whole population and such.
Stardew valley is a good example of a game not needing triple a hardware and providing infinite hours of fun
I never got into stardew valley, but it sure is a good example!
We do not. There’s no such thing as a 2000€ GPU. It’s an 800€ GPU that was artificially inflated to 2000€ to begin with and is now 10000€ because AI.
The xx90 line of GPUs is actually the continuation of xx80 ti.
They abandoned consumers in general. I wonder who will be able to use all that magnificent data centers powers in few years when there will be no more consumer computers or there.
Data centers have no future.
I am almost curious where you think the internet is.
Already trying to rebrand them as “compute campuses”, like that’s going to work lol
Nobody wanted aeroplanes. But as soon as they become jet liners…yeah also most people don’t want to ride them. Something about the inusual 600ph into the ground has everyone terrified.
What are you talking about?
That is just wrong.
Oh, its the pollution. As soon as you get close to a plane, the pollution get tough to agree with.
For a small minority of people, most people don’t care.
Getting from A to B is a universal problem, be it a hundred years ago or a bundred years from now. There is a want for not havin to sit on a ship for many days if your plane can cross the Atlantic in one day.
But prop planes could fit 10-30 passengers. Flying was very much a luxory even with the advent of jets.
So no, it wasn’t a branding problem of calling it aeroplanes, but tickets being prohibitivly expensive.
Data centers is not a new concept, and have proved the opposite actually.
Fuck AMD. The same corrupted shit as NVIDIA and Intel.
Yeah but if you want a graphics card who else can you buy from?
Dave. he gets stuff that falls off of trucks.
Keep an eye on China and all the “newcomers” to the graphics side of things. Moore threads and Lisuan tech come to mind.
It’s actually very vibrant once you start looking outside the “big three” of graphics.
They grow for free in data centers
Those cards are headless. No DP/HDMI.
Same as “mining” cards back in the day. With a few clever software tricks, you can absolutely make them output image through the motherboard HDMI
Ah that would be sweet, I’d love me a 288 GB card for gaming. I’m not sure they’d perform well though?
At least I could use the card to vibe code its own graphics drivers lmao
Haha, now you get into the right mindset!
DIY is the name of the game.
I wonder why gaming revenue crashed?
Once gfx got hw ray tracing there isn’t anything else besides more memory or faster clock. Most peoples gfx cards are good enough for everything except 4k Ultra so people stop needing to upgrade….gaming sales decline.
My stubbornness is immaculate. There are more old games out there that I can play for several lifetimes before caving to high prices or renting a gaming cloud service monthly. I can get used hardware in many ways.
Can’t buy PC parts any fucking where anymore
they won’t. silicon valley doesn’t do that.
