Off to Intel with the rest of the AMD staff?


After seven years at AMD and launching three increasingly competitive generations of RDNA graphics architectures, I have decided to leave AMD at the end of this year.

Godspeed @amdradeon


I will miss every single one of you, fighting shoulder to shoulder in the trenches together, the excitement we shared during new product launches, and the joy of being in the arena for this wonderful, vibrant industry.

May you continue to punch above your weight class and one day… beat the final boss.

Man leaves job for more money, retirement, health, personal reasons... Whatever.

I'm reasonably sure Nvidia has received resignation letters, just like every other company that was ever incorporated.

Oh for sure, but we don’t hear about it anywhere as often.
 
Not really surprising, AMD, Apparently, Are exiting the high end GPU game for their next gen, He likely wants to go somewhere he can get a higher salary and I can't blame him.

PC GPUs is a secondary or even a third market for AMD. Their CPUs and the console hardware is their main business. Their CEO hardly mentions their GPU products.

They would be better off making it a separate company. Bring back the ATI brand or just call it Radeon.

Thing is the top end GPU market is tiny in reality, look at Steam stats. That's why game graphics have barely moved in 10 years, it's all being made for £300 GPUs.

It's very likely is given that the Forspoken and Immortals of Aveum studios have closed down and they were the launch titles for FSR3. I suspect Herkelman was pushed since that is the second big fail after the DLSS Starfield fiasco. The fact that Starfield doesn't have FSR3 but already has DLSS FG is the icing on the cake.

Maaaaaaan that's so funny (barring the people losing jobs, that sucks). Games did so badly the studio/teams were disbanded :eek:

How they can invest so much money and people's futures and miss the mark so badly is beyond me!

Better of without him tbh. When all you can do is take potshots at your competition, it kind of says it all about what position your company is in.

I'm seeing comments like this around quite a bit, and it has me wondering - setting aside the niche enthusiasts, has gaming hardware peaked? I'm just putting a system together for my nephew and will be giving him my 6 year old 1080ti, which is perfectly capable.

I would consider myself an enthusiast and even I wouldn't touch the 4090 range - F that for a price tag, I'd rather take the family on holiday with those funds. When it costs that much to shift the bar then you need to start assessing whether it really needs shifting at all.
 
Like I said earlier, it's a small market. Most people go mid range and are keeping them much longer than they used to due to the silly prices now.

Because you only hear about the ones that are higher ups like Tom Petersen. He done a load of nvidia presentations and podcasts etc, you're obviously not gonna hear about people much farther down the totem pole that haven't had that kind of exposure to the media.

Hundreds of million is a small market?

This post reads copium to me :p

The money is there, AMD just can't get a big enough slice of the pie for whatever reason.
