AMD deliberately confusing the press to throw off nVIDIA claims Fudzilla

LOL.

So basically Fud are saying that all the "speculation" is confusing?

Hold the phone!!! :rolleyes:

I don't recall AMD releasing ANY info about their future products. It's all come from the likes of VR-Zone, and you guessed it, Fud.

Not in an official capacity.

Large technology companies, however, know the value of a good rumour and will often sanction anonymous information leaks. It wouldn't be the first time these deliberate leaks have involved disinformation, but I seriously doubt that AMD and nvidia don't already have detailed information on their opposition's development cycle. They regularly poach each others staff.

Companies rarely release official information until everything has been finalised. That isn't to say they don't want people talking about their upcoming produce though.

I thought the likes of Fudzila were paid to come ou with all the crap they say to mix things up?

It seems obiouis taht nvida and amd would both keep "leaking" info about top parts which turn out not to be true. So that people say mmm i think ill buy amd. No wait theres a good nvida card coming.
 
FUDzilla, assuming that comes from the same FUD acronym which stands for Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. What exactly do you expect?
 
Always been behind except for R300?

Errr

R350/360 (9700/9800 Pro/XT) - R400? (X8x0XT etc) then R580 (X19x0s)

All better (just) than nvidia.

He talks **** daily.

Yea i had to laugh at that bit myself ati cards have been in my opinion the better cards over the years since the 9700 was launched up until the 8800s were launched.

I think it comes from Fuad Abazovic, the sites founder and former The Inquirer reporter. Fuad was often referred to as FUD as a sort of in-joke.

Yes - but recenlty often later than nVIDIA - hence behind. Since X800 era ATi have been behind on the feature set, which is one thing that will make the RV670 launch interesting.

nVIDIA and ATi have both upped the naming scheme when there was no real difference in features (ignoring raw performance). The 9800s and X800s were really one generation. Likewise the Geforce 6 and 7 series were one generation.

It's really been:

DirectX9.0 (were there revisions a and b? I'm pretty sure the shader models didn't change) Radeon 9xxx/Xxxx vs Geforce FX - ATi win (nVIDIA late)
DirectX9.0c Geforce 6 / 7 vs Radeon X1xxx - Tie (ATi very late)
DirectX10.0 Geforce 8 vs Radeon HD2xxx - Nvidia win (ATi/AMD very late)
DirectX10.1 Geforce ? vs Radeon HD3xxx - Who knows? (looks like nVIDIA late)
 
Anyone like to call a stop on Fud topics? they are pretty pointless, not amusing and basically **** stirers of the news websites.
 
Speculation's half the fun on here. I think people indicating their source of info in thread titles might help those that don't want to read it though.

Yeah, but in which case, how do we know what's rumour and what's true?

I don't see how you can **** any company off for "confusing speculation" when it's not their leak! ;)

Oh, and ATi may have been late to the party since the 9000 series, but they've made up for it by the performance. The HD 2000s are the first since (IIRC) that they didn't take the performance crown.

1 reason i say ati won all battles before 8800 was that they had better quality aa and better frame rates. Does not matter whether they were late or not matters on the quality of the product. Ati had the bigger market share up until nvidia brought out the 8800s which told me ati won all the battles before the 8800s were released and then produced a product this time round that was below par.
