Maybe, depending upon how it is implemented.
If they somehow use those AMD NPU’s as accelerators to handle spatial recognition, then it might be possible to at least add some of the needed functionality behind AR/VR without pounding the APU.
Or, considering it might be ARM, it might be an in-house or even AMD designed SoC with all the necessary bells and whistles to implement at the very least AR.
I’d buy the heck out of an AMD ARM device.
Here’s what’s gonna happen.
Other outfits are going to make NPUs so fast that no GPU can compare. Even an architecture such as NVIDIA’s will be price-wise too expensive to be of interest for any AI outfit.
Then, either NVIDIA pivots so hard, they pivot themselves out of the GPU industry, or…
They come crawling back.
Aaaaw, so cute _ This is what they’ll have running inside your brain when they put us all into capsules. You’ll have cables up your butt, but your capsule will also be a suppository that might be shoved up into the hive minds sphincter, which tightens and loosens depending upon optimal dopamine distribution, so that millions of others can also benefit from your heightened cortisol levels. Lucky you.
I’m guessing it’s the Wifi business that’s going to be sold. Also, the prefabs might be spun off. But Intel still needs a GPU division, if at the very least just for integrated GPUs, but we might see the end of dedicated Intel GPU’s as they pivot to compete against AMD’s APU’s.
That’s my take, at least.
Nexus is the goat. I mean I hate their pay-to-skip model, which basically means if you want to install a collection of say 600 mods… because yes, then you’re stuck pressing a button over and over, unless… You pay for a monthly subscription, that you don’t need to renew.
Basically you’re paying for a one time convenience. I mean I understand, it’s not that easy to demand pay for someone else’s work, but server space and network traffic costs money. So, yeah…
Pay for the 1 month, or click a lot. At least you got options.
I don’t see a problem with this. Windows 10 is going EOL, and even though people may stay behind, we can’t expect AMD to continue supporting on drivers or libraries for a deprecated operating system.
That being said, Windows 11 isn’t that much functionally different than Windows 10 - like really - and besides missing some kernel level stuff, nothing says people can’t implement this functionality after the fact, minus Copilot+.
Technically speaking we’re all baby butts compared to the old timers who played the games at the time. Wolfenstein, DOOM, Hexen and Blood were not targeted towards children - even though some of us got our hands on the shareware.
But like with all language and definitions, it was normalised by certain people, like Civvie 11 - who also uses the short hand “boom shoot” and worships at the feet of John Carmack, hallowed be his name.
If anything it’s just a definition that stuck, probably because it’s pre-millenial.
So the real competition going forward won’t be Intel vs AMD, or even Qualcomm vs NVIDIA, but AMD vs NVIDIA - at least regarding CPU’s.
When it comes to GPUs it’s anybody’s guess. Intel’s Xe platform might come out swinging, and in fact with the driver updates it’s already improved a lot. NVIDIA is still the king of the hill in this category, but also price wise. Radeon has taken some years to get where it’s at, but sits neatly in 2nd place.
But, arguably - and we’re not looking at ARM Holding them selves as an SoC vendor (just a licenser) - AMD APU’s are the most sold general purpose SoC out there. We take into account the PlayStation, Xbox, PC’s and so forth. Outside of ARM, AMD is currently the king of the hill regarding CPU’s. Inside of ARM, that’s probably either Samsung or Appe.
With all this in mind, things could always make a turn. Intel could come out with an ARM SoC and knock it out of the park, Allwinner might win all as Chinese vendors might still make up the difference.
It’s a crazy future, but the biggest question is still who can have more TOPS and say AI the most at one of this year’s expos. Join TechTechPotato at the end of the year for the final tally.
Oh you can promote your optimism for the future all you want, but I don’t respond well to optimism, and that’s because I’ve seen the light - or rather the darkness - of a market dependant upon venture capital in league with political elites, an unholy alliance forged in an attempt to try and recoup the losses for investments made in beanie babies. Oh sure, the cocaine, sex workers and ritualistic sacrifice are cool at first, as are membership points that come with it, which you can spend in the cabal gift shop for a sex slave to go, but I cannot in good conscience tolerate the terms of service because it requires citizenry in a supposed state.
And it because of one thing. Do you know what that thing is?
The op and article being sussy baka withstanding, we do understand how the markets work and how balls are pushed forward.
I however have been greenwashed to before thank you very much and have been jaded enough to consider a life of eco terrorism. I even keep a spare packet of fluoride to sha-shaaw people in the face with in case things get rough.
I’m watching you, op…
(PS: In case of mod, /s)
Don’t forget, even if you bought the games, it’s entirely up to their discretion whether or not to take away those games if they feel like it.
I have games in my Steam library the publisher removed from the store some time ago so they could sell remakes.
Everyone else sucks and Gabe Newell knows it.
Hold on, there. That’s a bit presumptuous. The west is a bit unique, in that everything needs to be “liberalised” (or privatised), and at the end of that chain is usually a ton of consultancy fees and subpar living conditions for grandma.
My family decided outright not to leave great grandma at the tender mercies of the local old folks home, and I get told by various non-westerners that we treat our old like shit. Some Kenyans say outright that we should be ashamed.
(Incoming political rant, you may ignore.)
!But then again, boomers did help to foster the authoritarian geopolitical stance of the US, France and the UK, which ultimately has lead to debt traps for entire countries and the CIA overthrowing governments like it’s a sport. Y’know, the capitalists who gladly exported manufacturing and fabrication to communist China so they could utilise slavery to build their economy, the very same “neo-liberal” or “classical liberal” (i.e “extra nationalism in my bowl, please”) nutbags who are now harping on about bringing fabrication and manufacturing home again, despite the fact that they are also anti-protectionism… I hope they mean they want to leave slavery behind, but I doubt it, because the cognitive dissonance is just to fucking high. Perhaps it is in some ways selv deserved, but rich boomers get it easy, while poor boomers get to suffer. !<
In any case, millennial grandma’s and grandad’s will get to enjoy similar psy-ops that grandma and granddads get today, in that they’ll be blasted with political propaganda so they’ll vote “correctly”, using fear of the foreign and traditionalism as a prod to shake an aging individuals existentialism. Y’know, exploiting the hell out of old people. Maybe even have digital tithing. The AI Preacher can bless your match for one $5,99.
That is a problem, because what I tell people all the time is that your data is money. Ad services also serves as a tracking service, and as such gets paid from two directions: from advertisers and mass collection of data.
The problem with both is that they have been devalued in a race to the bottom, mostly thanks to ads swarming the web in the early 2000s.
This also solidifies Google’s monopoly, because now all advertiser’s have to go through them, as well as Meta or other social networking platforms - which all have their own tracking and ad services.
People are getting grifted, big time.
Which is dumb. We want adoption, because there’s no other way that software will be portrs to Linux. I’m all for a libre base operating system, but I REALLY want some commercial software to be officially supported under Linux.
That Bitwig is supported under Linux is a godsend for beatmakers and producers, but I want Ableton Live on Linux :( and also Affinity Designer. Inkscape is nice, and so is Krita, but there is no serious desktop publishing apps on Linux that focuses on usability AND productivity.
The more users there are though, the bigger the chance is…
So don’t listen to those bastard’s. A bunch of self-defeatists. May I suggest Vanilla 2.0 when it’s finished? :) Then you can try to run some of that software using Wine Bottles…
…which doesn’t work for Affinity Designer :(
Here’s a bit more your speed.
LTSC is “only” available through an enterprise licensing through Microsoft or its partners, which means you can probably ask a company or organization for one of their volume keys, and will probably be the only Windows where you can permanently disable Recall…
Like seriously, I had problems disabling telemetry in Windows 10 Pro because it kept re-enabling them, but not in the LTSC version.
