I don’t think it’s market slowness… more that there’s nothing worth upgrading to.
Now that the x3D came out, and it’s actually better than last gen, it sold out everywhere. People just want good new products.
And yeah 4% is small, just providing insight into why AMD layoffs are a huge surprise.
Sure Intel is doing poorly, but AMDs 9000 series was one of the worst selling launches in of new CPU in recent memory. They started slashing prices on them in record time.
There was also huge criticism from reviewers that the performance increase over 7000 series didn’t match what their marketing team had promised. Probably time to let some of those sales and marketing people go.
I dunno. If my company launched a new product, and then that product just sat on store shelves unsold, there’d probably be some people at my company who lost their jobs over it…. Regardless of how my competitors were doing.
9000 series was a total flop before the x3D, and their GPUs can’t compete at all. They are also missing out on a lot of the AI boom with many models being locked to NVIDIA hardware.
Don’t blame me! I voted Yes!
The baffling thing is that the other side didn’t even file an argument against the measure in the voter guide… and it still lost!
Like, if your side can’t even be bothered to come up with an argument for or against particular legislation, I’m voting with the other side, full stop.
Wait… only 38% of voters in Texas are registered republican, yet they win every single time?!
Secret ballot helped I guess. Hard for Trump to tell who defied him and didn’t vote for his candidate of choice.
Watching TNG reruns nightly as an 8 year old really gave me some hope for humanity’s potential.
Maybe if cops didn’t break traffic laws all the time, civilians wouldn’t try to follow suit.
People in those kinds of positions of power should be leading by example, not running around like they’re above the law.
Nah, DJT is real AF.
He said he’s gonna round up 20+ Million immigrants, I believe it. He says he’s gonna send the military after the enemy within, like Pelosi and Schiff, I believe it. He says don’t worry, no one’s ever going to need to vote again, to keep him in power, I definitely believe it.
I wonder how they taste sautéed in butter and garlic…
Ballot measures have an “arguments for” and “arguments against” sections in the voter guide. I’d say over 95% of measures have an argument logged for both sides.
If one side of an issue decides not to log an argument, it’s my personal opinion that that’s a strong indicator I shouldn’t be taking that position.
There was a long argument as to why we should amend the state constitution to eliminate involuntary servitude as punishment, but no one bothered to defend keeping it as is….
