I'm liking AMD still. They're not perfect of course but they seem to have far less fuckery going on than Intel and Nvidia, and they have open source drivers that play nice with Linux.
I always have this thought in the back of my mind too, but the issue is that while raw performance is a bit better than the counterparts, Nvidia still offers more features for the money, and I don't always have money to throw away. Typically i'd upgrade my gpu once every 5 years or so
AI might not survive the next decade? I already use it every day at work. The productivity gains are enormous and far from saturated. I think it's more likely that AI will survive and consumers (humans) will not survive.
I think people simultaneously overestimate the capability of current machine learning models while underestimating their long term impact. These models are going to be in everything. They are very resource hungry and will absolutely be a driver of hardware innovation for the next decade and probably longer.
fuck nvidia - but this comment won't age well
How are they killing their consumer market? If they change their mind and put out a better gpu people will buy it.
You've answered your own question. They used to release upgraded hardware with a reasonable generational boost almost yearly. Now the gap has widened, and they're iterating on old hardware, by giving it more juice and a larger cooler. Not to mention the astronomical prices that have outclassed previous top-end cards at the current mid-range
Not really. It’s not the right way to state it. They aren’t concerned with making money from the consumer market right now. Killing it implies it’s never coming back.
