How exactly is "presentation from an HPC conference" a leak?
Seriously, AMD has been called out on hyping (even very distant) products for many years. I don't understand your motivations, but neglecting that just makes you look silly. Don't go that path.
Just remind yourself how the year before Zen looked. And with Zen2 launch AMD said they have 2 leapfrogging design teams - basically saying that they'll be hyping 2 future generations instead of one.
And what about RDNA2? How long has that been going on?
As @dullard said: hyping products is part of this business. And AMD has been doing this more simply because they were building the image of an enthusiast brand.
In reality neither of these brands really focuses on the DIY enthusiast niche. It's just that Intel doesn't even give a f... to fake it (something I appreciate, to be honest).
Because it was never supposed to be a client facing presentation? It was supposed to be with strict HPC customers only?
We - the public - should have never had access to that presentation. There's a reason it was taken down in hours.
