Charlie Demerjian. Nuff said. Just so you know, semi accurate is considered a satire site and probably shouldn't be taken very seriously, especially when the author has a chip on his shoulder about Nvidia.

And does any of this prove that Nvidia paid Origin to dump AMD GPUs?
Origin did give an explanation, did they not? Heh.

I apologize in advance for addressing this off topic nonsense

This is complete rubbish multiplied by absolute nonsense.

AMD was awarded well over a billion dollars because of Intel unfair discounts. The claims by this radical Nvidia hater are far worse. It is so illegal that there is absolutely no way AMD wouldnt have Nvidia nailed up to the wall by now.

It is actually funny that people would believe this kind on nonsense. The site it comes from is desperate for cash and will say just about anything to get subscribers. As a satire site, its pretty much the Sun/Onion of the tech industry. I guess there are people who love that kind of thing but it has no place in a real discussion on a PC tech forum.

BTW,
There was a real dispute but since then Origin PC made peace with AMD. Of course this is left out at semiaccurate.....
The classic satire approach is to take things that really happen and entwine them with something completely fabricated. Disputes and quarrels between companies happen all the time. This particular one was over a strained relationship with Origins feeling left out of a graphics card launch being the tipping point (at least thats what i think a remember)
Semiaccurate invents some crazy plot and ploy to try to make a quick buck off of it.
