[@halycon404]

Nvidia will come out with their own version. Call it DLSC, and make it only work on their GPUs. Gamers will praise Nvidia for innovation. Linux users will get another free feature that's adopted across the entire ecosystem well beyond games which Microsoft can't match but ultimately only they care about. And AMDs market share in GPUs will continue to go down. Gamers will ask where the Nvidia competing features are while already using them for free. It's like I've seen this play out a dozen times already. :(

Go see a Nissan commercial, its basically 'Brie Larsen has a car, it has wheels, go places, much wow'. No talk at all of the build quality or lack thereof. (Anecdotally we ran a fleet of service trucks at my job, all of them had various issues. Clutches missing lubricant, rear axle on one had noises they could never fix. All of them clogged a $400 vapor canister that is installed right behind a rear wheel. A friend of mine is on his second Nissan Sedan because the first was a Lemon and the dealership sold them into the loaner. They are harder to work on than they need to be.)

That's like saying you're gonna put a shower cam and toilet cam in my home, but it's off by default - the fact that it's off by default isn't going to make me feel any better. Anything that even has a whiff of spyware should not be packaged with the operating system by default, and it genuinely does not matter if you turn it off by default.

But if you calculate the after events too, the PC is the more expensive.. Apple devices will get 7-8 major OS update for free, but how much you cost to buy 7-8 new Windows OS? (So when you get new features, not just some security patches..) also Apple devices keep their price better, just check the 4 years old M1 Macbook current price, it's still 70% of the original, which means you can sell your 4 years old M1 Macbook on about 60% of the original price.. show us any other laptop manufacturer where you only lose $400 on a $1000 device after you used it for 4 years..

Free and fully featured. Show me what apple product allows this?

​@@cuteAvancer@SimonVale You can't use windows 7/8 key/license to activate windows 10/11 anymore. M$ blocked that about a year ago. I managed to activate several windows 10/11 installs using the same key for windows 8 I got 14 years ago for free from my university, while I still could. But even now you can get a valid key for 5-10$ on various sites selling keys. I can't imagine anyone buying windows directly from M$ for MSRP (~100$). That, and the fact that you can basically run windows forever without activation means that M$ doesn't care if you buy a key or not, as long as you're using their software. Maybe you'll be tempted to subscribe to Office 365 and/or other of their services and make them more money than just buying a key.

NVIDIA version is different, it can do real time textures decompression meaning GPUs can use less VRAM, AMD version on the other hand will decompress the game itself while running, saving storage space, however, it won’t lower any VRAM usage as the textures is already been decompressed by the time the GPU needs to use it.

[@ABaumstumpf]

What AMD did there is NOT texture-compression and is lowering quality significantly in hopes that the AI-upscaling can hide the artefacts. And there are so many ways to compress textures and instead of using any of those more and more even intentionally BLOAT the textures so that they can be lazier with the rest: They store an uncompressed version of the in-memory representation. "Oh, your roughness-layer is represented by 4096x4096 RGBA 12bit/channel textures with 8x8 texture-blobs cause you forgot to match the shader-resolution? - let me store that 256x256 greyscale image in that format" and then taking 50 MB instead of the actual 12 kb the texture really had. And this will only make that worse. Also any claim of 70% compression just shows that the person writing that has no clue and should be ignored. take Warzone, Eldenring or any other modern game. Textures dont even make up 70% of the storagerequirment. You could literally delete every single texture and not get such insane reduction numbers.

People want privacy when using their personal computers. AI will freak anyone out because let's face it, most PCs have some kind of torrents on them. Whether you torrent games, software or movies/tv series - the addition of AI will make anyone nervous of it snitching on us.

Bokke! (Springboks) Niiiiiice.

lol that Crucial P3 1TB Nvme "on sale" now for 60$ sold for 40$ on Amazon last year, thank god I bought a few drives when the prices were good, no chance in hell I'm paying this over inflated prices for storage.

The mistreatment towards AMD gpu users was wild in my region. I have 2 systems one with GTX1650 and other with 6950XT. I'm not even 20 and people who are less my age shit talk just cause I like AMD gpus and cpus. I mean like nvidia is straight up robbing us with gpu prices and if it weren't for AMD most of us would be running 1080Ti to this day not able to afford 4060. Nvidia prices are going to be crazier on 6000 series cards. For me AMD is a hero. They genuinely make everyone's gaming experience better. Hope AMD sales go up.

To what degree are those geekbench scores inflated by the massively increased avx512 performance of zen 5?

[@northwestrepair]

Amd: now you can game even more faster. Me: so your half dead cores die quicker 😅

[@MattTheriot]

Apple is selling more macbooks because the M1/M2/M3 chips are very powerful and efficient, it's that simple.

[@VKEvilution]

Non-AI and raw keyword searches are going to become the 'manual transmission' of computing.

Mac growing can be that people who use to own a 86x cpu Mac now buying a Arm Cpu Mac. Over all not sure if it's growing in the marketshare we just need to wait see how it is at overtime out the year.

[@georgeindestructible]

I literally said this exact same thing on an AMD announcement video and the mfs listened...

[@timgibney5590]

I remember this channel and Gamers Nexus in 2017 laughing at AMD saying Ryzen SUCKS FOR GAMEs and it needs 8 cores to compete with Intel 4 cores SUX. Man, have times have changed now as Intel is laughed at in the comment sections these days. AMD had a long way to go to earn the trust and slowly take on Intel more and more.

SIGNAL RGB can control all your RGB devices and it does it very well....

[@zbatchDOC]

I am content with the performance of my system. But I am not content with the fact it’s a frickin space heater when I’m gaming. That’s a problem

[@churblefurbles]

Nvidia mentioned this ai texture compression long ago.

[@Slugbunny]

Finally, someone remembered compression exists. 😌

[@Larry_Owlmann]

I’m the techie guy in my friend group and I have zero use for AI in my day to day life. There’s simply not enough useful AI programs yet for the average consumer. Someday certainly, but it’s going to be a far more gradual adoption than all these companies seem to realize.

[@iliasdimGT]

i speak for the consumers...WE DO NOT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT AI, WE WANT POWER, AND PURE PERFORMANCE, NOT SOME FAKE AI UPSCALING AND AI CAPABILITIES, WE WANT GOOD HARDWARE

[@dunatyphon5416]

Remember back in the 80s when every product stopped saying "SUGAR" and started saying "HONEY NUT"? Yeah, that's 'AI" right now......

[@Runawaygeekchannel]

Think there will be a way to turn the AI off and allow the CPU to run better on the non-AI tasks?

[@Anon287-]

Holy crap, you mean Little Nicky didn’t comment this time? Genuinely surprised.

[@corymatthewmouser1543]

With Intel focusing their new chip announcements on battery life instead of AI makes me realize they knew consumers don't really care about AI.

[@Akmpkm32]

makes me wonder if the gpu companies can some technology for better use of vram by such as .......making 8gb enough for loading higher quality textures etc.
