Hi stuie,

It was the ATI Wonder with CGA color. 1986. It was fabricated using a 1000 nanometer process. Today we use 28 nanometers.

For me, to be completely honest with you I just can't remember. My first PC was a 286-based processor, with a 40MB HDD and a monochrome display! Yes, I'm old

Wow R9 285 coming in at $249. Very interesting but I bet that is the 2GB part not the 4GB parts.

Nice!

The show wasn't too entertaining and the jokes e.g. the one with the phone near the end were rubbish...

Please make sure you have a mirror either on Youtube or Twitch. Last time I tried watching a live broadcast from AMD the stream didn't work properly (the True Audio stream).
