Nvidia has shat the bed, now AMD has a chance to publicly say something like:

While our primary focus at the moment is data centers, we remain commited to consumers with a special focus on gaming, this is why we are very happy to announce a new consumer division inside AMD! They remain commited to providing cost effective consumer and gaming CPUs and GPUs, and will keep developing Ryzen and Radeon products.

AMD never misses a chance to miss a chance.

Then again, when the competition isn't your cousin anymore maybe you stop going easy on them.

[-] 87Six@lemmy.zip 7 points 7 hours ago

They will just follow what Nvidia does even now.

Wonder who Lisa Su will fuck to be like big boi Huang

[-] joyjoy@piefed.social 1 points 26 minutes ago* (last edited 26 minutes ago)

Probably someone with the last name of Huang. Possibly Su.

They are also hoping to kill the consumer market, it's too much effort and can't be manipulated as easily by taking a b2b customer CEO out to lunch on your yacht.

[-] VAK@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

It's probably easier in b2b because you can either show Max performance or Max performance per watt to close the business. For b2c, you need marketing and more downstream collaboration for products.

[-] decolo@piefed.social 3 points 6 hours ago

Absolutely, it's a whole production to be competitive in b2c. On the other hand, I think doing well in B2C has downstream benefits for business hardware sales (ASSUMING the market is not captured via backroom deals and the opinion of normal humans is a factor in sales).

Speak for yourself. I'd be down for a nice lunch and a yacht trip. Maybe even some seduction! I wanted to buy a new gaming PC for a few years now anyway.

Tell them you want like a thousand threadrippers, but then excuse yourself to the bathroom, say you was allergic to something in the food, and that it led you to believe you would start with a single consumer-grade card.

[-] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 4 points 9 hours ago

And a threadripper. And I see it more like the sample than an actual purchase. So of course it's free.

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 3 points 8 hours ago

Sigh, you are probably right.

Though good PR is valuable.

[-] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 8 points 9 hours ago

You think they give a fuck about your pennies?

Ikr? But it's more valuable to create artificial scarcity. Them saying we used to be the good guys is like the Republicans bragging about slavery.
