I think everyone can agree that AMD needs to concentrate on protecting its own ass first in the next year before worrying about how the planet is going to look 100 years from now.
Just wait till they have to make a game in D3D12 where they actually have to do the work and not pray for the GPU companies to save their asses with driver hacks that replace entire blocks of code in their shitty engine.
Why did I keep hearing Horshak going "Ooh ooh ooh!" whenever I read "Cotter". It isn't even spelled right...
Guess the name is that uncommon, around here at least.
Even scarier is that the same setup is used on commercial airliners. You can hack into flight control systems by going through the frigging entertainment system.
I await the orgy of Youtube videos of people nearly killing themselves wearing VR headgear...even some idiot trying to eat and totally missing his mouth and dropping boiling hot soup in his lap, jumping up screaming and knocking over his monitor and headgear off his head costing several thousand...
This crap is going to continue unto perpetuity since each and every developer is going to tweak their engines different ways with the latitude that D3D12 gives them.
Aside from the welcome overhead reduction, its nothing more than MS, AMD, and Nvidia's driver teams giving the big middle finger...
I imagine someone will find huge blocks of code that are stolen in their entirety in this "new" OS.
I would suggest to any hardware or software company that has exposure in China put something like "Mao Zedong sucked donkey dicks!" somewhere in their code. If it is copied exactly, the thieves...
Build is amazing. Too bad about the state of "wired" tech we currently live with, though. All that awesomeness and we still have a rat's nest of wires hanging off the back of our desks..LOL
Again with the half-assed marketing benchmarks, ie 0xAF.
Can't wait to see the Arctic Island card marketing slides: "Beats Nvidia when we disable hardware triangle setup and transform and lighting!"
Now he knows what its like to be GW. What goes around comes around.
The MIT article said the energy density was 20-30% greater, so a good jump but no one is going to be powering their lightsaber off one of these.
