Looks like AMD saw Intel and is trying to capitalize and learn from Intel’s mistake by delaying until they can guarantee a stable launch

Personally I see this as a win for consumers as you’re more likely to get a higher quality product by either company (AMD’s move here is likely to echo in Intel)

    side note: I really love that we are accepting Gamers Nexus as Beehaw’s “newspaper of record” for news about computer hardware, and particularly the gaming computer hardware that is GN’s beat. They are such a great, independent outlet that rarely pulls its punches. All praise our Savior Tech Jesus!

      Who is spamming GN videos? Nobody on beehaw, and I am pretty sure the 2 people that post them are not Steve Burke. I get you don’t like YouTube, but using a shitty AI summary is also not it. That summary only included the info from the intro and removed a whole ton of context that shows that GN does know what they are talking about and took the 10 minutes to cover a very complex situation. You might want to check out the article version posted by exu and not trust the site you used for summaries.

          The new normal.

          The other day, I saw an elderly guy solving crosswords while sipping his coffee. Y’know, crosswords are supposed to keep your mind sharp. He’d put the coffee down, lift his phone, and use Google Assistant to ask for the solution… then put his phone down, and fill in the blanks. Sharp mind!

      Talk for yourself, a lot of us like GN. I also don’t understand the need to be so disrespectful towards Steve.

        I think starting a sentence with “For those like me” is a pretty clear indication that someone is speaking for themself

        e: i’m just being catty btw, it’s a totally fine use of the phrase

    You could see it as bad timing just when they could be cashing in on Intel’s troubles, but it does highlight how AMD is being careful about quality control when Intel wasn’t, so perhaps it will pay off for them overall.

      The new launch will be right in the middle of Intels proposed fix, so will still be able to cash in on the troubles Intel is facing (especially if it doesn’t work right away), while making sure AMD processors don’t have a similar fatal flaw. Nothing would be worse than swooping in to take over the share of consumers trying to leave Intel, only to run into their own stability issues.
