Hot chick explains the AMD APU

Where is the hot chick? I see no hot chick in that video...
Everyone has differing (lower) standards. The chick in the video was cute, but in no way hot. Now, if she was like your average curvaceous female BestBuy employee, then the shirt would almost be skin tight, similar with the pants. :D
 
she's cute, definitely above average, but not hot, I've seen BB employees at the ones near me better looking than her that could be classified as hot, don't get me wrong, I'd still hit it tough, because unlike most of the e-Casanovas on this site, I don't have supermodels breaking into my house in the middle of the night putting teh rape on me...

You hit the nail on the head. No curvy body. She does have an attractive face for a young lady. Her build which is healthy does not strike me as appealing as a women who is more curvaceous or voluptuous.
 
Sure, I'll take a bang at it. With Intel's Solution you have two chips. One chip is your HD3000 or HD2900 or whatever graphics chipset. The other is your CPU.

They are located physically nearby but a bit apart from eachother. Generally, the processor accessing the GPU requires probably sending a call through the pci-express bus, waiting for a response, etc etc. Its a pretty standard solution that basically fairly well mimics what PCs with discrete graphics cards do. However, Intel's solution is really really slow.

For example, an old laptop I have with a 2600 or so HD chipset can play WoW at the lowest detail settings with all the sliders turned all the way down at 800x600 resolution at about 7-8 fps. (A slideshow, just barely fast enough to do herb/ore farming and perhaps dailies against enemies npcs fairly under-powered). I think as we can all mostly agree upon, WoW is not known for its graphical prowless. Games like L4D for example, which too is not known for its graphics prowless, will run at 3-4 fps. Entirely, not playable. Thus the general opinion you'll find among gamers is 'lawl. intel integrated graphics. flash game much?'

With AMD's solution, the CPU and GPU have been combined into one-tiny chip rather than two chips. So potentially, for the CPU to access the GPU, a much smaller distance needs to be travelled. Smaller distance = faster turn around times = better performance? We'll see :). AMD also can use its GPU technologys like perhaps 3D support, better shaders versus Intel, etc. The GPU does come with UMV HD video enhancements for example so potentially it might have 3D support for 3D movie playback on the go.

One advantage at the moment is supposibly according to AMD, when rendering games like FF14 benchmark, the game uses 25% less power usage or so ...(60 ish versus 45ish watts). So it may be more power efficent. It supports up to 8 cores were as most intel notebook processors are between 2-4 cores. Arguable whether that gives more overall processing power. We'll need to wait for some more benchmarking on this.

What has some people excited about it is videos like this:

If you watch this video, you'll notice/see that AMD's APU is able to render the FF14 benchmark at relatively smooth fps where as Intel's Integrated graphics choke. Why is this important? Well, we could potentially see notebooks for $399.99 that can run FF14 which is a fairly modern title on the go at 1366x768.

This has the potential to let us play newer games, equivilent to our pcs, on the go in a really small form factor. Rather than needing a heavy 19" gaming laptop that weights 10kg, has a huge power block and runs out of juice in 13 minutes if not plugged in. We might be able to see a 2.0kg netbook that has an hour of power usage and can play games at a very reasonable resolution considering the relatively small 7-10% screen size.

TL;DR version: Up to 8 cores, gpu/cpu physically being 1 chip with amd instead of 2 chips located nearby with intel, benchmarks suggesting good performance in modern games in small form factor, potential 'gaming' netbooks. PC quality gaming the size of a slightly larger nintendo ds.

Exactly. So in other words... Great in a Laptop replacing a Core i5 with integrated graphics, but it's not going to replace discrete graphics any time soon.
 
she did not get naked, or have any revealing clothes or even big assets.
was disappoint.

Agreed.

Everyone likes different features in the opposite sex.

The girl in the Best Buy video stood out because she is not the average geeky dude we are used to seeing talking about tech.

Now in my personal opinion, she was cute, but also had some odd features, like those mega nostrils and a strangely shaped nose (weird nosejob maybe?)

On the other hand - however - I know some guys that start slobbering and speaking gibberish as soon as they see any blonde that isn't fat, and she would definitely fit into that category.

Now that posted Minka girl (What kind of a fucking retarded name is Minka?) also has some odd features going on with her face, that don't do it for me. (major chin dimple, odd oversized cheekbones). I doubt she'd be particularly pretty if she had short hair or were bald. Her long straight hair helps make her very round face seem slimmer.

Either way, the point is, each person has their "type", and they are not always the same.

I have a friend who for some reason like chubby girls. He actually even dumped a girl once and the only reason anyone can figure out why is because she lost weight. (she actually looks pretty cute now, where she didn't before) It makes no sense to me, but that is his type, and he is entitled to it.

Its a side-effect of stretch face. When you pull your hair so tight you end up with flared nostrils, big forehead, weird raised eyebrows and a horse tail.
 
@Zara - I had the good fortune of meeting Ms. Minka at a party in Vegas, last year. There's a good reason she's considered the hottest actress in Hollywood. Her boyfriend Derek Jeter ain't complaining. ;)
 
of all the various forums i belong to (auto, fitness, gaming, etc.), it's always the gaming forums where posters scream "OMG she's not even close to hot!" when an obviously attractive girl is posted. it's funny as shit.

Granted, she is attractive (I wouldn't be above hitting it), but the thread title states: "HOT chick explains the AMD APU"

Since 'hot' is a subjective term, of course you will have people that say that she isn't close to hot. Like I said, I enjoy a periodical trip to BestBuy, you know, just to look at the 'merchandise'. :D

thats because none of them have seen a girl in real life. theyre comparing the video chick against the only women theyve seen, which are all celebrities and models theyve seen on the internet. :D
