[citation][nom]alphaalphaalpha3[/nom]A CEO is a "loser" (your words, not mine) just because he states that the CPU's that his company is making aren't as fast per core as the competition and he doesn't think that they can get back up there quickly yet? THat's not being a loser, that's telling the truth. He admitted that his company's CPUs weren't able to compete with Intel in very high end and cross the board in per core performance. That's how it is. I'd rather a guy know when something that is slower is slower than have a guy who keeps going on about "more cores matters" or some other crap about how his company's CPUs will accelerate your computing experience. Due to the poor showing of the latest FX line, AMD's reputation likely took a big hit in the gaming/enthusiast community, so instead of lying to us about his products, he told the truth. Maybe AMD will get back into the game. maybe they won't. Heck, maybe they will and already have things set in motion to get back on top and just wanted to get his competitors to drop their guard (we're not in the company. so lets not pretend that we know exactly what's going on there).You say that you don't trust them after that? Not that I'm saying that you should throw trust into them, but this is a company who came out and admitted that they're not at the top anymore instead of lying to us. Distrusting them is the exact opposite of what I'd do to a company who tells the truth about this.As for the rest of your previous comment, you're ignoring the fact that the scheduled releases of AMD's drivers has left us with many drivers either not fixing well-known issues all of the time and sometimes even causing more issues. Not having a strict monthly schedule means more testing time to ensure that the new drivers don't break things that they weren't fixing. This also means that we don't have reason to replace our drivers every month to stay current. Granted, I often got lax about updating drivers when what I have already works just fine, but lets not pretend that Nvidia's methods here haven't let them often stay ahead in a few ways.Sure, it happens, but how many Nvidia driver releases caused severe problems? Now compare them to AMD driver releases causing problems in the same time frame. Nvidia had more time to test things, so they usually didn't break things. Granted, AMD/Ati drivers have been pretty much consistently improving whilst it seems that Nvidia drivers have been waning in quality, but up to lately, Nvidia did pretty well. Assuming that AMD doesn't let crap happen like Nvidia is right now, this could help them get ahead of Nvidia in drivers.[/citation]
Again, you are completely missinformed little fangirl, AMD's CEO is a loser not because he said AMD's CPU's are slower, he is a loser because he quited from CPU war saying actual CPU's are fast enough.
AMD quits from CPU competiton from getting the fastes ones (after they said lots of times their Bulldozers would be fastest in earth and more stuff), now they quit from giving new drivers with important fixes in short times. I agree with people who only want updates when they are important, but i want them in short periods. AMD is saying they won't release updates every month. The question is: How long? two months, four, five, six, a year? And that gives another question: why so long? is it that hard for a big company to give good quality updates in a short time, os it an excuse just to fire employees and work less (and save money for themselves)?
I'm not like you. You act like a fangirl, protecting your company (it's not really yours, so face it), i act like most of us customers, protecting our investments. If we pay high for a product, we want good quality support too. Think about it.
