The only problem I see is people naively trying to extrapolate so-called naming "rules" that have historically applied solely to Intel's mainstream desktop CPU lines and blindly assign them to laptops. It's not like Intel is hiding the physical core counts on any given CPU, as they're...
Agreed. It's funny how much the B-series chipsets get overlooked, despite having everything necessary for a stock-clocked CPU and a single GPU to run well at a significantly lower cost.
Are you seriously suggesting that the 290/X and 390/X are "completely different"? Whatever you're smoking, you really ought to stop lest you become even more incoherent than usual.
AMD is a rather poorly-run business as compared to its two primary rivals, you know.
Remember that they set the MSRP for the rebadged 390/X line at ~$100 more than the then-prevailing retail price of its predecessor, so why couldn't history repeat itself yet again?
But the question still remains: Who in their right mind would have bought a $100 cooler for an AMD system in the last decade (i.e. since C2D's 2006 debut) instead of funneling said funds into creating a much faster Intel system to begin with?
Unlike with impoverished criminal defendants, there's no such thing as free legal aid for indigent corporations launching baseless lawsuits.
As such, you would be better served not popping your popcorn in anticipation of such a scenario.
That's not how it works. When one mention sales without any additional qualifier, that always means revenue and not volume of units sold.
It's a good thing that Arachnotronic called you on your BS, lest someone not familiar with your tactics take it at face value.
I know times are tough for...
You're putting the cart before the horse, as the precise reason that AMD CPUs are "dirt cheap" is because the marketplace will not bear a higher price for them due to their abysmal performance.
A classic illustration of performance dictating pricing independently of an OEM's wishes would be...
Wow, another pro-AMD post with cherry-picked data from csbin!
Did anyone even know that Deserts of Kharak even existed before csbin decided to post it as the first chart (due to being perhaps the only game on the planet that AMD chips perform uncharacteristically well it)? Probably not...
Given AMD's current nose-down trajectory I'm surprised that they didn't go one further and just name it Hindenburg, as it consists primarily of hot air and will likely go down in flames.

Here's an interesting question: Why does it seem that Eastern Europe and Russia are so heavily over-represented in the ranks of the ADF? It's been 25 years since the Soviet Union collapsed, so you'd think they'd get over their fondness of crappy electronics.
Or is it that AMD's lousy...
There's a big reason (other than their abysmal market share and terrible cost structure) that no one wants to buy AMD for their graphics IP:
Why pay for a failing company and assume an additional $2 billion in long-term debt when you can pick up the IP for much less (and with no strings...
The question was i7-5960X vs i7-6700K right now, so it really isn't the place to factor in a chip that will be out-classed by a circa-2012 Sandy Bridge-E yet won't be on store shelves until early 2017.
Because said hypothetical customer is not a ridiculous AMD shill using the most unrealistic scenario available to set up a pricing-based strawman?
There's a big difference between a person wanting the fastest-available consumer product (i7 HEDT) and a 18-core chip made for 4S-8S settings (E7...
1) Seeking Alpha publishes transcripts of conference calls conducted by major corporations (of which AMD barely qualifies as these days). Do you really think they're going to distort those transcripts (which is not the same as subsequent stories based on them) based on their editorial stance...
I guess that would explain why there's all this talk about Excavator-based AM4 chips, considering that it seems that Zen won't hit store shelves until mid-2017...
Would it not be the responsibility of the cooler's vendor to ensure that their product is within spec for a given socket and advise customers if they aren't?
Your "Intel Sales Team" statment is quite ironic, especially considering that you're literally the only one here who actually makes his living selling second-rate processors in a third-world economy. I think your declining fortunes have finally started deteriorating your thought processes...
2017
AMD loss, sells more of their physical assets
Intel profit
2018
AMD loss, sells the majority of their patents
Intel profit
2019
AMD loss, barely manages to pay the $600mm of long-term debt owed that year
Intel profit
2020
AMD loss and subsequent Chapter 11 bankruptcy after failing to...
It's just too bad that Intel doesn't make CPUs with higher core counts to counter that. I don't know what they'd call such a hypothetical processor though, perhaps if they keep using prime numbers in their names it could be an i5 or i7?
Yeah, that was one of the last good AMD CPUs. Dual-core Denmark goodness...
I myself had a somewhat less-ambitious AMD build at the time with a single-core Athlon 64 3700+ (San Diego).
Why should developers even bother with HSA in the x86 sector, given that the products capable of utilizing it have such a minimal market share and install base?
