    It's around 22% according to this highly respected publication that's posted on this investor website.

    So you're assuming anything with a discrete card in it is high end?

    For a laptop, yes. If you don't include the Alienware monstrosities that last 30mins, the performance spread for discrete laptops is not nearly as high as it is for desktops.

    Discrete Graphics BU is the discrete graphics BU.

    Sorry? Yes, of course. Pretty much they all do, bar any cyclical RFQ cycle waxing and waning. You can see examples of what we're in by looking at the GPU list here.

    Anyway, there's not been any secret with regards to the focus of Sea Islands and what that is designed to address.

    I figured that i should throw this out there, just so people won't post it as news.

    Some guy making numbers up based off rough estimates AMD gave out a while back:
    FAKE-Steamroller-Scores

    $449 "FX9650" :lol:

    Not sure this is the right place. AMD's new trailer is beyond silly, but really fun.

    Cool!
    So who was that big bad guy?

    The question now is, on what hardware this was produced? Intel and nVidia or do you have AMD renderfarms and FireGL workstations :razz:

    The big guy was NOT supposed to be Intel :) just a new kind of application that stresses the CPU more.

    No comments on the hardware...

    To be fair, they did fire a lot of PR people in recent past...

    I thought it was good, but went on a bit longer than it needed.

    There was obviously something wrong. Ooooh controversy! AMD is calling it quits for GPUs I bet. ;)

    He must be good for Nvidia to just take him back after that little detour..

    Or it's a sign they're desperate.

    Leaving aside that fact to leaving and coming back is completely normal, there's also a different potential narrative: he saw what AMD had in store and ran away screaming. :wink:

    Must have seen that all the top-secret documents were already stolen.
