Speculation: Ryzen 3000 series

I have no clue how getting the naming scheme wrong contradicts a leak. Adored gave that leak months ago and the naming scheme was certaintly subject to change. Remember that leaks like that signify what AMD was planning months ago. AMD changing their mind in the subsequent months and renaming...

Why Does AMD GPU Architecture Appear to be Under-Designed?

The main takeaway is that the comparison system in question (Dell Inspiron 15 looking at the notes) appears to use massively less power. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Dell-Inspiron-15-7000-7577-i5-7300HQ-GTX-1060-Max-Q-Laptop-Review.264134.0.html 59W AT THE WALL on 3D mark, 98W for Witcher 3...

AMD Vega (FE and RX) Benchmarks [Updated Aug 10 - RX Vega 64 Unboxing]

Exactly. In conditions where you are not actively cooling a room the power difference is rather minimal. However, in the summer with the AC on the effective power difference can be astronomical. Your typical AC unit will at best have a Carnot efficiency of around 30-35%. Its effective...

Why didn't other presidents think of bringing jobs back?

The is 100% true but a lot of this 'growth' is debt driven. The US government deficit for 2016 is estimated to be -3.3% of GDP. The US will not have GDP growth exceeding 3.3% for 2016. What does that tell you? Obama (not to bash him specifically as Bush did the same) has added roughly $8T to...

Battlefield 1 Benchmarks (Gamegpu & the rest)

AMD does not have much, if any, lead in DX12 from any engineering point of view. When you look at the theoretical performance of AMD and Nvidia GPUs, their physical characteristics (die size, power, FLOPS, etc.) DX12 brings AMD basically on par with Nvidia (Polaris and Pascal) but by no means...

CNN dumps Donna Brazile

Note that Clinton and Trump are not being directly compared to Mussolini and Hitler. The comparison is between Hitler and Mussolini and how they are both terrible terrible people; one being 'better' than the other is largely meaningless. The same concept is being extended to Clinton and Trump...

AMD releasing Pro 460, 455, 450 GPUs in Macbook Pro Laptops

This is probably going to be like Tonga in the imac. Theoretically better on paper but throttled like crazy.

Value of body cameras

You don't get a good cop. You get a by-the-book cop. Policeman/Policewoman is a good person, generally pretty relaxed. They see some kids underage drinking/smoking weed and tell them off, letting them go with a warning. Now add the camera. Now their actions are on record - they will get in...

Obama Administration = Most successful at reducing income inequality in 50 years

I agree completely with your statement: First world wages are not competitive with those in 3rd world countries in such a globalized world. My point was that this is due completely to easier trading/reduced barriers. I.e. the reason manufacturing was domestic in the past was because it was flat...

Obama Administration = Most successful at reducing income inequality in 50 years

This is the "Fixed Pie" Illusion. By current standards, the US exported very very little to the rest of the world post WW2. Exports as a percentage of GDP in the 50s and 60s hovered around 5% (and a lot of this is probably to Canada/Europe NOT developing countries). The US and other...

Geforce GTX 1050 / 1050 Ti Thread

Thanks. Is there any suggestion that the memory controller on Polaris can actually run at those speeds? AMD's memory controller generally has never been able to hit the same speeds that Nvidia can post Fermi. (AMD's last few APU revisions have used a generic out of house memory controller for...

Geforce GTX 1050 / 1050 Ti Thread

Is the 485 bandwidth limited to such an extent that it justifies much more expensive GDDR5X?

[Anandtech] Discrete Q2 GPU Marketshare - AMD rises to 30%

The is a false equivalence. Bashing AMD != want AMD to fail. Personally I think mining is a terrible trend in general - to many it simply is for ethical reasons hugely negative. If you actually stop and think about things for a second mining sounds like satire that would come out of a...

[Anandtech] Discrete Q2 GPU Marketshare - AMD rises to 30%

What immediately comes to mind is Techreport's 2014 hardware survey (>4000 samples). http://techreport.com/news/27055/the-tr-hardware-survey-2014-what-inside-your-main-desktop-pc 90% of TR readers had 1 GPU, removing the 6% igp crowd gives approximately (84/94) = 89% of the TR readership with...
