AMD has a chance to be the big hero. Let's see if they actually do it.
I know I'm showing my age here, but Incel Camino is brilliant.
Yeah, that was probably canceled for different reasons. Meanwhile Disney steams ahead with its 4k Blu-Ray remaster of Song of the South.
A set of scripts that download Chaturbate videos, also keep track of what's currently downloading, give a history of what's been downloaded, and automate recompressing to HEVC.
I'm workshopping ideas for a new GUI for it, but don't know where it's safe to ask NSFW programming questions.
I want to try that, but I've got to learn Python first.
Thanks. Funniest part is that was the 2nd time I had to render it. It was originally done in Blender 2.8 years ago. I lost the video somehow, but still had the blend files.
I'm an AMD fan, but I feel like Pat was on the right track. Intel's troubles came from putting lawyers and accountants in charge of the company. Pat (an engineer) is what they really needed at the time.
Thanks. Mine were wrong.
Hopefully they release it. I miss the old days of both companies releasing tech demos.
One thing AMD dominates at; they pack more slides into a show than anyone else, hands down. 123 slides total.
Looks good though. I can't wait to see the reviews.
As impressive as their “Ryzen moment” was, AMD still hasn’t gotten 50% of the market after half a decade.
As much as I love AMD, they will follow Nvidia because they’re a follower. They unlaunched the 9070 at CES because they were unsure about Nvidia’s pricing. They changed their naming scheme to match Nvidia.
They changed their laptop naming scheme to match Intel. They pushed their earnings release date back so they could report after Intel (Intel pushed their own back the previous quarter).
You see, sometimes people say, “Why are you always trailing?” Well, we’re trailing because we’re following the [Total Available Market] of where the market is, and we’re letting them create some of this market because they are the only ones that really can when you have the kind of position that they have in the industry. We have to time it.
We either have to give you less, somewhere else — so, compromises — or we’d have to raise the price points, which is something they are already doing. So why have two people do exactly the same thing, trying to build these leadership products out there? - Frank Azor, chief architect of gaming solutions and gaming marketing at AMD source
AMD is content with being a second source supplier to Nvidia and Intel. After years of losses and near bankruptcy, AMD has finally figured out how to make a profit while being in second place. They're in their comfort zone, and there's no incentive for them to step out of it.

Looking for upgrade advice. Anyone building their supercomputer out of 3060s?
(discuss.tchncs.de)
So here's the way I see it; with Data Center profits being the way they are, I don't think Nvidia's going to do us any favors with GPU pricing next generation. And apparently, the new rule is Nvidia cards exist to bring AMD prices up.
So here's my plan. Starting with my current system;
OS: Linux Mint 21.2 x86_64
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with Radeon Graphics (16) @ 4.673GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Lite Hash Rate
GPU: AMD ATI 0b:00.0 Cezanne
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
Memory: 4646MiB / 31374MiB
I think I'm better off just buying another 3060 or maybe 4060ti/16. To be nitpicky, I can get 3 3060s for the price of 2 4060tis and get more VRAM plus wider memory bus. The 4060ti is probably better in the long run, it's just so damn expensive for what you're actually getting. The 3060 really is the working man's compute card. It needs to be on an all-time-greats list.
My limitations are that I don't have room for full-length cards (a 1080ti, at 267mm, just barely fits), also I don't want the cursed power connector. Also, I don't really want to buy used because I've lost all faith in humanity and trust in my fellow man, but I realize that's more of a "me" problem.
Plus, I'm sure that used P40s and P100s are a great value as far as VRAM goes, but how long are they going to last? I've been using GPGPU since the early days of LuxRender OpenCL and Daz Studio Iray, so I know that sinking feeling when older CUDA versions get dropped from support and my GPU becomes a paperweight. Maxwell is already deprecated, so Pascal's days are definitely numbered.
On the CPU side, I'm upgrading to whatever they announce for Ryzen 9000 and a ton of RAM. Hopefully they have some models without NPUs, I don't think I'll need them. As far as what I'm running, it's Ollama and Oobabooga, mostly models 32Gb and lower. My goal is to run Mixtral 8x22b but I'll probably have to run it at a lower quant, maybe one of the 40 or 50Gb versions.
My budget: Less than Threadripper level.
Thanks for listening to my insane ramblings. Any thoughts?

Woman Stuck in Tesla For 40 Minutes With 115 Degrees Temperature During Vehicle Update

I had to take my GPU out to do some troubleshooting, so I figured why not try some games on the old Ryzen 5700G. Ray-traced Quake wasn't exactly playable at 3 fps, but I'm impressed that it could load and display correctly.
Other games I tried; Portal RTX wouldn't start at all. Spider-Man remastered did start, but I can't get past the load menu, not related to the Ryzen APU. Most of my library is 10+ years old, so pretty much everything else runs fine on the APU.
