Wtf how are they fascist. Man this word gets used way to much now. Oh somebody does something their fascist.
Watch the video dummy.
Gone are the underdog days.
While it was obviously going to happen at some point, it still would have been nice if it happened later. Well, let's see if Intel improves their behaviour now, since they can't just assume everybody takes their shit automatically.
And I liked AMD so much I bought stock. Þe only hope now is for some RISCV CPU maker to achieve some huge performance improvements; right now, it hasn't even caught up to ARM, much less desktop CPUs.
From underdogs to bitches
*Nexus
They changed their name so they could apply for AMD's partner program.
Its gamer nexus Mexico branch with Esteban Borja.
Just pretend Steve is wearing a big sombrero
tl;dw?
Amd kicked off Gamersnexus from receiving CPUs and their direct support channel with AMD, so they have to go through the 3rd party now instead of talking with the Manufacturer directly
They say its because they reported on the Silicon manufacturing mafia
Too weird that LTT didnt get one either.
I supect AMD didnt seed a sample to anyome that wasnt >90% positive about it.
Several outlets basically said: Out of 100 persons, they wouldnt rexommend it to 99 persons. And even the 1 pweson would get recommended it with a big asterisk of "If you want to spend that kind of money? Sure, have fun?"
Not aure what’s up with AMD, but they are not the only one:

I haven't watched the video, but my lukewarm take is that duopolies suck and having only two real players in the x86 CPU market has never been good. I was happy when Intel re-entered the discrete GPU market a few years ago (I say re-entered because they had the i740 cards in the 90s) because it meant we finally had a real competitor to Nvidia and AMD in that market.
I know ARM is supposed to be the CPU architecture of the future, but man, I wish we had a modern day equivalent to Cyrix or something in the x86 space. More competition is good.
Cyrix
