Today is the third time I've read the third misleading news made by the same person just because he have a grudge with AMD, please stop making this site going downhill.

Kursah · Aug 9, 2017

No offense, but it is hard to take your criticisms seriously without you at least taking the time to post links to the articles that bother you. I do not moderate the news-side of TPU, but would be happy to at least review what your complaint is about. I've been here for over 10 years and don't feel TPU is going downhill at all so I'll have to kindly disagree with your opinion. You have a right to express yours, but you should do so a little more constructively if you want to be taken seriously or see any chance of potential changes here to meet your needs.

If you want better quality news posted that meets your expectations, please post better quality constructive criticisms for our news team to review to see if such an adjustment can be accomplished for the great good of TPU (in more than just your or my eyes, but on a far larger user-base and spectrum). Thanks!

If you are referring to "glued together" of the latest AMD news, I'm gonna have to disappoint you.
@Raevenlord was just being silly and a bit sarcastic. Reference to recent Intel's "Threadripper is glued-together" presentation slides.

He is. And the sentence itself is made with a positive tone towards AMD, so I think OP's complaint could be due to a language barrier.
I had to read everything again, because I left the news article with the idea that it was just boosting TR's ability to OC, no criticism at all...and it is so.

the54thvoid · Aug 9, 2017

Sarcasm is not understood by all. And it's even harder if it's delivered in a non-native tongue.

Lol what? .. Sigh... I'll go get the popcorn :pimp:

TPU is just making fun of intel because of this

intel is just trying to present AMDs weakest point as its Achilles heel, which it is not

Pointing out your competitor's flaws? How evil!

AMD kind of asked for it, remember their "Real Dual-Core" campaign with the Athlon X2?

Only if it's an actual flaw.

Right now cranking up the ram bus speed fixes any issues with this "flaw." Whether or not that scales/improves with TR remains to be seen.

At any rate, Raevenlord certainly does not have a grudge with AMD. I can say that both knowing him as former staff, and as a present day reader.

The nvme raid thread, the tr4 mounting thread?

Intel's comment isn't really about the Infinite Fabric, it is about the multi-die design of Threadripper and Epyc.

Again, turnabout is fair play, AMD did the exact same thing to Intel when Intel was using a multi-die design with the Pentium D and Core 2 Quad. It wasn't really a flaw when Intel did it either. The Core 2 Quad was easily outperforming AMD's offerings. But AMD still keep putting the "Real Quad Core" bullet point in their marketing.

I know. It's linked together by Infinity Fabric though.

Was silly then too. Marketing weenies be marketing weeines though.

I remember the marketing well though. "Industries first true monolithic quad-core" or similar. :laugh:

Yes, perhaps the OP should change the thread title:*

Intel should stop misleading news made by the same person just because he hate AMD.

*I can't believe I'm even replying to this thread!

We're going to need specifics or I'm shutting down this thread as a lack of information tends to make posts go wild! I'll give you a little time.

What was wrong with any of those? You'd rather we sweep the nvme raid thing under the rug and not report mounting specifics?

A reporters job is to inform readers, not play sides.

There's reporting the news and there's shaping a narrative.

I wonder if he is going to come back and fill us in...

Anyone taking bets on if it will be locked before he gets to respond? I have some good items in my FS thread says this bad mamuhjammuh gets locked down tighter than N.Korea before the dude logs back in... :toast:

I'm not the only one who noticed the reaching in the OP. Calling it an achilles heal then adding mounds of speculation on top is not straight up reporting. If a regular poster can find the news where AMD stated that they'd enable the feature later... what's that say about the reporter?

erocker · Aug 9, 2017

I can't speak for the person that wrote it, but my interpretation is that particular feature the writer is referring to may be a make or break situation for some users, hence the "Achilles heel" reference. Some articles have speculation, this isn't anything new.

That's exactly what makes it a narrative. If that's the case as in seeing it and seeing nothing, well that's what tpu has become.
