we'll start back at Nvid with GPP, and Intel with 28c 5GHz chiller. cool?
Also kinda off-topic, doncha think?
Most people on here will have heard of GPP. So, I don't get what you hope to achieve by mentioning it. They already got a black eye for it and had to walk it back.
IMO, this thread should be about their upcoming products, not a referendum on whether you like Nvidia as a company. The more we can stay focused on the facts (and, in this case, rumors) rather than tribalism, the better.
wouldn't be fair of me to offer the deal to 10tacle w/o stating when each 12mo period starts.
it's not tribalism coming from me... i'm a fan of tech & innovation (but also transparency & morals) ...if AMD rebrands the same die while trying to market it as "new & improved", then it's entirely fair to bash on the underhanded dishonest tactic. if AMD had 2 series of rebrands, i'd expect grumblings of "better not be more rebrands" from people prior to the 3rd series launch, cause it's entirely fair to bring up that history to show a trend.
as consumers, it's perfectly within our rights to demand honest products & marketing. if a company has traditionally had a very hard time delivering on those, then we should feel no shame in exposing that behavior each time they get caught, & noting the trend. complacency tells the other party they can do worse next time & still not fear repercussion.
