Exchange your 8086 for a Threadripper 1950.

Makes sense. Instead of holding back computing with lower core counts even longer amd is offering to finally advance it with more computing power.

Yes by exchanging a limited collectible for a gaming processor while they won't make a gaming graphics card...because they love gamers...

if you buy a 16 core cpu for gaming you need to give your a head a shake.

also this has literally nothing at all to do with gaming.

fuck, the word gaming isn't even found on that amd page.
 
It's a thank you for all the support they received and a hand knife stab at the competition. Maybe they can get fanboys to switch?

except for here:

for a flagship 16-core AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ 1950X processor built for the gamers and creators who need a processor that can do it all.

You mean except for the very paragraph talking about the exchange? Other than there right? :rolleyes:

It's almost like the context says "gamers AND creaters".

Holy shit. Context.

Yes, holy shit context, they mentioned gamers in there specifically. The same gamers they won't make high end graphics cards for... I am not seeing your point here?

Yeah, and screw Intel! They won't make gamer GPUs either! For that matter, screw Nvidia! They won't make high-end CPUs for gamers!

(Disclaimer: I know this is absolutely ridiculous, but it's too funny to me not to post.)

I'd personally take AMD's trade offer, but then if I were ever going to have entered into that contest for an i7-8086k, it wouldn't have been for the collector's value... :D

The difference being that Intel doesnt currently make discrete GPUs, nor does Nvidia make CPUs. AMD on the other hand makes both. I just find it ironic they would actively describe threadripper as a CPU for gamers considering their stance in the GPU market.

AMD said "gamers and creators," the operative word being and, the obvious jab at Intel being that on their product stack you are stuck with a processor that's only good for one or the other.

A company does not need to make high performance versions of all their products just because they make high performance versions of one of their products. That'd be like expecting Boeing to make super-sonic passenger jets because they make supersonic military jets...or expecting Honda to make turbo-charged lawnmowers because they make turbo-charged cars.

to be honest by the time it ever hits collectors status we'll all be to old to give a crap since none of the younger generation is going to get the whole "8086" part.

What if you game at 4K?

The word gamers is so close enough.

One word that is not on that page:
MEGATASKING
