    7nm+ fingers crossed.

    doesn't DisplayPort DSC solve your problem?

    Please be realistic. This would be too soon for AMD to have ray-tracing support.

    In fact, that's probably the reason XBox Next and PS5 aren't launching this year. It takes a long time to design and validate chips, you know? The specs are pretty much baked a couple *years* before launch!

    So you are saying AMD is years behind Nvidia.

    Well, yeah. They have fewer resources than either Intel or Nvidia, but are competing with both. As Su says, they’re dependent on bets paying off.

    In some areas yes - just as Nvidia was years behind AMD and only finally caught up with original GCN with Pascal. Though not in everything. AMD is still superior in terms of async compute for example.

    AMD is superior in a game tech demo from 2013. Yay?

    You know, a GPU is not only for gaming. And unfortunately for AMD, they didn't have the insane R&D money NVIDIA has. Imagine if they did?

    Nvidia released CUDA back in 2007 when the 8800GTS was king. While AMD might have had GPUs that were better at numerical code since then, nvidia's infrastructure+GPUs made them own the market on GPU computing.

    AMD is good at piggybacking on Intel's infrastructure in the AMD64 market. They have a harder time doing the same with nvidia and the GPU market and the narrow focus of where the money can be spent shows. You'd think they could take some of the lessons learned in making the console GPUs and at least catch up to where nvidia was a couple of years ago but apparently that is too expensive.

    " AMD is good at piggybacking on Intel's infrastructure in the AMD64 market " how did they piggy back intel with amd64 ?
