The excavator architecture looks very promising, AMD just needs to improve the process tech, which is possibly in the works currently under that alliance. Excavator needs to be, at worst, 20 nm, although 16 nm is possible and be better. With the better process you could realistically do 8 or even 10 cores, and have gpu. DDR4, PCIE-4, SATA express built in and the ability to mix gpu's, even in the spirit of lucid MVP style, they'd have a real winner. Unfortunately I wouldn't see them doing this, or having access yet to AVX3.2.
not necessary the world have changed a lot since this vision of economy... if consumer have 200$ in the pocket if you sell a 250$ product then you won't sell it and earn 0$. main exemple is car a General Motorist (GM lol) who sell a car around 3000$ in emergent country and sell the same car at 12000$ in my country, just because we might be more rich (both come the factory in the emergent country of course).
AMD has been fighting a two sided battle for quite some time with both of their competitors being bigger entities than they are. Overall they have been doing a pretty darn good job considering they are in the GPU and CPU market while Nividia and Intel solely(with a few exceptions) concentrate either in one or the other. Now, considering AMD have been contracted by all three Console makers, Im sure their growth as a company will be bright.
on other hand better do the job we know the best we can (APU for AMD) than fail trying to be nr 1 when we are outsider (high end CPU). i definitively hate GPU from AMD due to driver (or lack of real driver lol)... but i love the APU: fast enough, not expensive, low powered... just happyness.
That just adds full support for the FX-9590 and FX-9370. They had initial support in bios 1708 but that was it.
I don't think it was full support though. I was having issues with my 9590 displaying some incorrect readings in the UEFI on 1708. I won't know for sure until I get home and update. But from what I have been reading, this new bios fixes those issues.
Intel knows better than to abuse such a position, especially with the current very anti-business regime in Washington DC. Obama's DOJ would delight in finding an excuse to break up Intel or just do what they did to JP Morgan today... Threaten them and extort billions of dollars and give it to the president's political allies. man he's such a crook.
