There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. I thought some monitors were made in S Korea like those QNIX and Crossover? My info is old, I haven't been monitor shopping in a few years.

To be fair, I have tried before to put together a comedy shopping list of components with as many mentions of the word "Japanese" as possible. Japanese solid capacitors, Japanese SECC steel case, that one $1000 Cooler Master Made in Japan power supply engineered by Murata, etc.

You see, these clearly ethical shining stars will sleep better at night using labelled MADE IN AMUIRCA products proudly assembled in Trumpreich with 100% China imported components and paying tons more to get the same end.

If you don't want your money going to big corporations, just buy all your poo poo used?  I mean, yeah, no ethical consumption under capitalism etc. but it's the best you got, I think.

Yes there are a bunch of cheap, high quality, no-frills Korean monitors, panels and major components manufactured and assembled in Korea. However its not like that will mean they don't have any parts manufactured in China in them: capacitors, etc.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/12017/intel-to-develop-discrete-gpus-hires-raja-koduri-as-chief-architectquote:On Monday, Intel announced that it had penned a deal with AMD to have the latter provide a discrete GPU to be integrated onto a future Intel SoC. On Tuesday, AMD announced that their chief GPU architect, Raja Koduri, was leaving the company. Now today the saga continues, as Intel is announcing that they have hired Raja Koduri to serve as their own GPU chief architect. And Raja's task will not be a small one; with his hire, Intel will be developing their own high-end discrete GPUs.

LMBO, I guess this will prove what was holding RTG back in about...2-3 years? That's the usual bring up time for a GPU uarch. Like, the earliest this has any impact is January-March 2019, and that's with basically the current gen uarch Intel has. LMBO if they only want him to just scale up Gen8 and put it on PCB.

Most likely a dumpster fire, but still.

This feels like the inevitability of AMD buying ATI instead of NVidia many years ago. Intel wasn’t going to struggle along with their own effort to bootstrap a graphics platform for too many years, and it’s cheaper to bring AMD into submission than it is to buy NVidia at this point.

Don Lapre posted:Edit I'm wrong. Both parties agreement is terminated if one is sold. Yes, but there are obviously legal ways around this. For example, AMD could enter an agreement with Nvidia which would convert AMD into largely a holding company, and Nvidia would "make" x86 processors, but the actual production would be carried out or farmed out to Glofo/TSMC by the shell of the company that was formerly known as AMD. But the branding would be all Nvidia.

Don Lapre posted:Edit I'm wrong. Both parties agreement is terminated if one is sold. It also means Intel can't make 64bit chip since AMD holds the license on the 64bit extension. And with multiple anti-Trust ruling against it in North America and Europe Intel would have to be dumb as gently caress to play hardball with the x86 license.
