Lol. You do know I was joking right?

What is wrong with my sig? Soon it will have a lovely RTX 3080 in it :D

Yes, you must know me well enough by now...

Unattainable clock speeds with my early silicon, very unattainable...

You waited this long with that RX 580?

I did. :) Well, and all the miners of course.

But the superior bandwidth enabled by HBM, as well as HBCC, were key factors to me going Vega 64 over 1080, amongst a few other reasons why the AMD card was superior to the Nvidia equivalent, at least in my case. That's why I'm so ****** right now with RTG - I could name a whole bunch of ways in which V64 was superior to the 1080, or all sorts of benefits of having an AMD GPU over an NV one.

Yeah, gaming, mining and compute where why I picked up a vega, they are way more efficient too when undervolted. They brought out the VII which was worse value, but maybe the lessons from it could mean implementing HBM in RDNA2 in some capacity.
 
If AMD were to launch a GPU/card that was as fast as the RTX 3080, but with 12GB RAM, and price it at £749, and made a bundle with a brand new Ryzen 7 4700-RDNA2 edition included in the price and a voucher for £50/75 off an X670 motherboard, how would the reaction be from a) users, and b) Nvidia?

I feel this, from a marketing perspective, would be a great motivator for people to make it impossible to ignore AMD as a serious option, as Nvidia couldn't just drop their pricing to match the bundle, and AMD would be getting people off older platforms to a full AMD system.

Just a thought, interested to see the responses. :)

Could we also have a crate of beer and some unicorns in this bundle? :p

Id love to know what state he is from, I've never heard someone that puts such emphasis on certain words with certain letters, "clocks, not, clocked, stock, ut--illl-isation, optimistic, its like every word with an O in it he gives the O extra love.

And just wtf is he blabbering about at 41:20, "good sales on navi would mean they can't make as many ryzen cpu's"? Whys that exactly?

AMD are in a unique position of being able to offer both GPU's and CPU's, they have yet to take advantage of that in any way shape or form, you would half Expect them to come up with some form of architecture extension where the CPU and GPU can work together to give you something more.

At least with AMD's CPU's now being in good stead, wanted and respected you would think AMD should capitalize on this and perhaps limited time offer a 6 core Zen 3 CPU bundled free and a money off Motherboard voucher in the coming round, this instead of Free Games.

This might be more expensive than offering a bundle of free games but try it, marketing is another form of short term investment for long term gain, you have to spend some money to try new things.

They'd have to put an age rating on it if you included beer, and I am not too sure when you are too old to have unicorns? :D

In all seriousness though, I did say if, and having a marketing edge using other parts of a business isn't unheard of in many industries. The ability for AMD to offer something unique (much like a Unicorn) would be good, you can almost guarantee that Intel would/will use this strategy with Xe and their CPU's. Look at what they did with the Centrino branding, ensuring that all their parts were used to get the badge! :)
