Another data point for the "everybody is 12 now" theory. That's the billionaire CEO of the world's biggest and nastiest surveillance company who also just released a high concept technofascist statement. He and I are the same age. And I am, I cannot be clearer, an Old Man.

BTW, just in case it wasn't clear: the Disney ASL song remakes were not AI generated or anything like that. Just a ton of hard work from a dedicated team of artists and TDs who cared deeply about doing this properly, with ASL choreography by the Deaf West Theatre.

My wife was one of the TDs who worked on this! Believe you me, things got weird with resurrecting the 8+ year old Frozen 2 pipeline; we're not even on the same OS as back then.

if i weren't broke, i would be the target market for this chip, bluntly. and it would have to drop precipitously before i'd even consider it.

yes, it's ostensibly a gaming chip, but uhhh, tons of L3 cache for 150-200mhz off the top (pushing it into a slightly more efficient range)? don't mind if i do.

but $200 for 64MB extra L3 cache? what the actual fuck?!

dysfun@treehouse.systems ("gaytabase") wrote:

anyway it's a very nice chip, very nice indeed and priced so highly you would have to really want that little bit extra for that large hike to justify it to yourself.

amd have certainly put on much entertainment for us all today.

they blacklisted gamers nexus, so of course he's got a video that is rather uncomplementary.

meanwhile, steve at hardware unboxed sent their new amd chip off to steve at gamers nexus as soon as they'd tested it, so he got one to test anyway, albeit not in time for that launch day video.

and der bauer says the new chip is pointless.
