Erm... Uhm... What? As for AIs, I'm 90% with Google on this one. If machine learning algorithms were indeed powerful enough to create something that's sentient, we wouldn't have such horrendously crappy automations. If a company can automate a process, you can be absolutely sure that they will...

Looks like China is doing its utmost to convince the West that the time for business is over. If there's something that western businessmen can't do without, that's predictability. Robbing companies like this, in plain sight, is a very strong message that "China wants, China gets", but it's also...

Yes, really. Who's forcing them to use tech that's obsolete? I don't get it. Is there some international law that states that you folks positively have to use stuff that sucks or something? We stopped using that stuff quite a long time ago and never looked back. And I'll just say it again...

You keep going on about population density as though that actually justifies imposing limits on traffic or most of anything else that is actually happening. It doesn't. Sure, there's less incentive to get the infrastructure to cover sparsely populated areas. But once said area is covered...

That is likely, especially if the rumors about the cards being targeted at professionals pan out. But if Raja had nothing to do with developing the architecture, why bother bringing him aboard? It's not like his efforts at AMD led to the best GPUs they ever put out... I'm very curious to know...

There have always been brilliant minds at intel. That didn't stop them from utterly failing both times they tried to do a dedicated GPU. Money doesn't solve everything. See intel's woes with the 10nm process. Also, see how their first two attempts at dedicated GPUs turned out. They need people...

Someone has to say it... Now we really do know why Vega was so horribly late. This GPU really does seem to be the proverbial Jack of all trades (master of none part does seem to apply as well). I mean, it pulls off high-end GPU, mining GPU, professional GPU, IGP in APUs and it can also play nice...

Personally, I'm glad they kept the pins on the CPU. LGA sockets are a pain to work with, you can easily snag or bend one of those damn pins and because they're not straight (they're shaped closer to the letter Z than anything else), they are extremely hard to fix. On the other hand, when the...

Well, is it or isn't it on the GameWorks list? Sure, some problems will always exist: this has been the way with software since... ever, actually. As for laptops and gaming... I don't remember when was the last time I recommended a laptop that had an AMD GPU in it. And I'm not absolving AMD of...

Just like any other human on the face of the Earth, bta is entitled to an opinion. That's what editorials are for, and this one is clearly marked as such. You have absolutely NO RIGHT whatsoever to tell him what he can and can't write, that's where his boss comes in. Such decisions need to be...

Subscription fees will never work for home users. People generally tend to like owning the things they use and while quite a few people would be willing to pay a subscription fee for World of Warcraft or Xbox Live, that is an entirely different matter since they're not operating systems, while...

I see. I'm sorry if I came off as a bit aggressive, that was not my intention. I certainly didn't want you to edit any post on my account. I just saw this as an opportunity to have an interesting debate. That being said, I'm pretty sure we see the same things, just from different viewing...

I think you're forgetting a few, my friend. Ever seen, or rather heard, a GTX 480 in action? Or the GTX 590 and the GTX 295? I've even had the dubious pleasure of listening to a GTX 760 reference design board (thankfully, they were never released to the public, and were only sent in for...

Are you sure you want to start a conversation about graphics card coolers turning into internet memes? I'm asking because if so, nVidia got there first a long, long time ago...

If the rumors about this thing's TDP (about the same as the 290X) pan out to be true, cooling it will not be a problem. Manufacturer-specific custom coolers, such as Sapphire's TriX or VaporX coolers will be quite sufficient, even for overclocking, and will most likely stay pretty quiet too. Now...
