Bob Morales posted:They just run hot and cold. Real strong for a few years, and then they get stomped for a while. Probably just a by-product of product cycles in their industry. They're due to get hot again soon. The only time they've ever been "real strong" was due to intel's colossal misstep with the pentium4.

Raptop posted:Intel can always make another colossal misstep. We succeed in spite of engineering more often than because of it. Sure, I was just making the point that AMD doesn't cyclically rise and fall competitively as Bob Morales was claiming- they've always existed in the low-mid range and they had a 2 year stretch where they got the high end because Intel decided to let their marketing department tell the engineers how to design a processor.

Nvidia is just saying 'go gently caress yourself' at this point. Not only is this the 2nd consecutive rebrand of the same product, they are shifting the identifiers around too (555m goes to 635m instead of 655m, 540m goes to 630m) in an attempt to completely befuddle anyone who doesn't spend their afternoons reading about hardware specs. Maybe they shifted the model numbers down to make room for an improved midrange, but for the 5xx generation they widened the number gap between similar performance parts so who knows. These 6xx parts have essentially regressed to the 4xx naming scheme. gently caress them. This rebadge also doesn't bode well for those Kepler low/mid range parts to be launching anytime soon.
