ascii_field: burn nvidia. (
amd at least shows remorse, published gpu specs for a megatonne of cards, and ~no one has done anything with them~)
ascii_field: (most frustrating thing is that the
amd chip on this board ~has vga~ built in. but no amp on the pcb and no connector.)
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> afaik every attempt by intel to sell something other than x86 has tanked << I remember the netbook dying as soon as
AMD had chips that could win this niche.
ascii_field: i've seen systems like this, but, sadly, nothing with
amd (nor do i expect to. they're 'frying pans.')
justJanne: mircea_popescu: they aren’t for sale yet, but if you want to get a taste, you can buy an
AMD GPU
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I can only hope their
AMD investment wasn't entirely about keeping
AMD's silicon less backdoored or making it differently backdoored
mircea_popescu: i don't mean one that sucxks. i don't even mean one that doesn't suck. i mean one that's about (
amd/intel in 1995)**3
BingoBoingo:
AMD seems to be still doing ok on the server if you are going to shard the physical machine into a fuckton of vms
mircea_popescu: a battle
amd has lost, incidentally. i don't even know if they have anything
decimation: asciilifeform:
http://lambda-diode.com/opinion/ecc-memory-2 < " Nevertheless, this means that when you buy a computer, you are playing "DIMM" (and motherboard) roulette . You have something like one chance in three to ten of getting a computer that will experience memory errors at the frightening frequencies (one every few days) that I talked about but attributed to cosmic rays, and that
AMD talks about in their whitepaper . "
ascii_field: but, for example, ebay may well become the only practical source for
amd cpu where i live, once
amd finally sinks
Adlai: ascii_field is just choosing to trust intel/
amd/etc
jurov: not yet found any with
amd cpu
BingoBoingo: Things change when dealing with people who throw additional motors on a chassis more enthusiastically than
AMD throws more core on a die
Citizenfive: ascii_lander: You aren't rocking an Intel or
AMD cpu in your machine?
BingoBoingo: Graphics cards were never really "hacked for hashing" Bitcoin just came along on the exact time
AMD graphics cards came into their own as massively parallel compute devices
mats: TIL
AMD now contracts out their fabs
punkman: mircea_popescu:
AMD has an equivalent
mircea_popescu: seems teh usg-consensus pretty much is to make
amd extinct.
ascii_field: and among portable computers,
amd is extinct other than in 'disposable' models
punkman:
AMD's "management engine" equivalent is also bad, isn't it though
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform a muscle computer is an
amd fx + 64 gb of memory + swap on a ssd 1+0 raid array.
pete_dushenski: ascii_field you and mp using
amd, mac lusers never had this option
ascii_field: pete_dushenski:
amd opterons, 'tyan' board circa '07
decimation: to be fair, I guess neither intel nor
amd 'support' linux
trinque: asciilifeform: do you find
AMD more trustworthy or is it a technical preference?
BingoBoingo: <cazalla> are you it's not just because athlon's were the cool thing to have back then? :P << I didn't know
AMD existed until later... I am rather but not entirely sure I recall correctly
BingoBoingo: cazalla> <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo in retrospect i suppose that's not so easily distinguished. it was just about at that time trhat i moved to
amd <<< and so i ask that whatever problems there are with intel, why is
AMD not affected? << My Beef was Intel imagineered this shit first
cazalla: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo in retrospect i suppose that's not so easily distinguished. it was just about at that time trhat i moved to
amd <<< and so i ask that whatever problems there are with intel, why is
AMD not affected?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo in retrospect i suppose that's not so easily distinguished. it was just about at that time trhat i moved to
amd, and never bought intel again. the number thing played a part.
pete_dushenski: i can't imagine intel and
amd are far behind such public ventures.
assbot: Amazon.com: Compaq CQ57-439WM 16-Inch Presario Laptop PC (

BingoBoingo: unbalanced: The cheapo lenovos come with
AMD BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Pedestrian
AMD powered laptop
AMD E-350 CPU
Vexual: Perhaps politics
amd sculldugerous corruption are inseprable
gabriel_laddel: as for the fight in our realm, I'd like to buy 10ks of
AMD opterons K8 chips and reverse engineer them. Give designs to China.
assbot: OpenSXCE 201**4**.05 LiveDVD for Intel/

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am at this very moment running a 64 GB
amd-a8 quad.
mats_cd03: not as long as people like poettering keep breathing
amd contributing.
decimation: maybe intel or
amd has an actual toolchain?
jurov:
amd Norway is funding some liberal NGOs around from the oil moeny
mircea_popescu: anyway, the brain size is not necessarily a predictor of anything. my
amd quad is smaller than an old pentium
decimation: I mined with
AMD/ATI gpu back in the day, I grew to hate
AMD's driver releases that would ruin everything
BingoBoingo remembers fuckers Spz.
AMD APU's would be the mining be all and end all and they don't even register seriously for the weird alt hash functions
decimation:
AMD mainly sells usg anti-monopoly prosecution protection
decimation: intel's ipp and compiler would 'detect'
amd and disable its sse routines
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform>
amd - similar story << Fucked themselves for years by compiling their compilers with Intels
AMDCeleron: I choose
AMD because i like
amd better than INtel, yet i have celeron n2830 in my laptop
AMDCeleron: why do you care about what i think of
AMD?
AMDCeleron: BingoBoingo, i dont know i have had an
amd cpu in a year
BingoBoingo: AMDCeleron: What are your thoughts on the
AMD low power chips?
AMDCeleron: i like
AMD better than Intel yet i got a Celeron cpu in my laptop
