The AI-generated cat pictures thread
I think they will bounce back, as long as they do well with the R3 and R5 series in small/medium consumer desktops with cheaper prices than Intel. I feel the uninformed are the ones selling AMD stock over poor gaming reviews. If game devs start pushing better compatibility to make use of the cores, then 'cpu limited' games will be a thing of the past and it will really start to shine.
With the Intel side of things, an optimized 14nm chipset should be released later in the year. And single threaded applications will be off the charts.
All in all, AMD needs to prove that their new chips will be around to stay with gaming/single thread applications. Their best sell at the moment is workstation applications where the CPU gets the most use...
Time will tell, sooner or later time will tell.

Selling after the Vega / Polaris (for us) press release though?
If AMD can switch the market like they did years ago and get mainstream consumers to buy products with their chip in it, they will bounce back.
Maybe i'll buy some AMD stock June 1st.

No info on the R3 yet but i'm expecting more of the same.
No worries Vega will fix it

Poor AMD...
But seriously, nothing new here. Just as Intel's development process operates on a tick-tock cycle, AMD's operates on a win-fail cycle. Right now, Intel is spending a lot of time and capital doing something awesome, so AMD decides to do something even awesomer. So they cut corners and rush a product to market that turns out to suck. When Coffee Lake drops in a few months, it'll be a knife in AMD's gut, and then when Cannonlake happens, it'll twist the knife.
And then AMD will release the 2nd - 3rd gen version of Zen architecture, which will catch up to Intel in terms of raw performance, sacrificing TDP for cost as usual. And then the cycle will begin anew.

Cute little fella.
I've been watching covers of ELO's Mr. Blue Sky for the past two hours. Many of them suck a lot less than would be expected.
God bless ELO. And God bless you, Jeff Lynne.
The original 1977 version, had it been produced during the 1990s heyday of music videos, with 2010s technology:
('77 Was a good year, unless you happened to be Elvis, my maternal grandfather, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the University of Evansville men's basketball team, or a Camaro)
And, I **** you not, this came up in a Youtube search for "Mr. Blue Sky Metal":
Again, I renew my request that YouTube introduce a new filter into its search engine, with the following options:

- A truly professional effort, worth viewing
- This was probably a good performance, but we'll never know for sure because the quality of the recording is ****
- Talentless ***-clown
