Support NeoGAF

Sony have already built their own cloud platform. They're just as ready to pivot to the cloud as anyone.

A cloud platform with PS5 base performance. To offer anything more they need to upgrade their cloud hardware and that means paying Nvidia or AMD prices that they cannot afford.

Me too. First PC, can't wait! gpu and ps+ prices drove me away.. I would rather put my money towards hardware than a service, even if it will probably cost more.

Just got mine hooked up. I had issues getting signed into my Microsoft account eventually got it going with authenticator app and passkey using Bluetooth to my phone.
Now to download all the games. It's going to be hours before I can test anything.

I'm happy to own an AMD card. I mean, they're not much better, but they're also not nearly as big headed. I'm not a fan of what Nvidia has been doing for awhile now.

I don't believe they'd kill the console industry. Honestly, it's only relatively recently that the whole console industry has been using AMD and Nvidia hardware. If those companies don't want that segment anymore, consoles would just go back to the old-school way, other partnerships or even in-house manufacturing. If I remember right, the PS2 GPU was made by Sony itself.

IIRC Sony partnered with Toshiba for the PS2 back then. sort of like the current partnership with AMD.

Spoken like someone who didn't bother watching even parts of the video, but commented because they felt they had to say something.

He's talking about NVIDIA, OpenAI, Meta, Palantir, the US government, and other major tech corporations that are spearheading the AI boom. AMD is simply not a major player in this, but he does mention them. OpenAI wants to build a data center the size of freakin' Manhattan with the taxpayers' money. People are funding their own demise by voting in office public servants who are all for granting massive tax cuts and government grants to megacorps that will annihilate the environment, want to privatize gaming, price you out of buying hardware, and then charge YOU indefinitely to use the subscription services they priced you out of. They plan on building over 3,000 data centers in the US over the next few years and the impact this will have on energy and the environment will be catastrophic. They will use federal land for this, aka, land that belongs to the government, aka, the American people. Those companies can make a profit without taking people's money, land, and energy to then sell them things they could have bought themselves anyway.

Yet we have a bunch of mouthbreathers sitting here and insulting him, when those pieces are well-researched and critical in understanding where we're headed. You mofos will only bitch when mid-range GPUs are $4000 and you can no longer afford them.



Moronic comment.

Oh my, poor AMD, it's only worth 350 billion. Market value doesn't mean much, it just means how the market views that company.

I watched the video, but speaking generally, it's much more critical of Nvidia than of AMD. There are entire videos against Nvidia and only a few mentions of AMD.

How is AMD a small player? It supplies a large portion of the GPUs to Meta, made a $100 billion deal with OpenAI, and will deliver hardware for Oracle and Microsoft hyperscalers. AMD is also buying a lot of small companies.
AMD is part of the government's AI plan, it will receive the same government subsidies. AMD plans a $1 trillion business in the coming years.

AMD said it paid $36 million on acquisitions this year outside of its blockbuster $4.9 billion ZT Systems deal to boost the chip designer’s data center business.

Overall, the market has always been like this since the industrial revolution, it's silly to keep complaining about it when it's something that's been in place for many years and no amount of public outcry has changed it.

Do you really think that Gamer Nexus making a video is going to raise awareness and change things? Seriously, that's a childish illusion.
The only benefit from all this is for Steve, who gains popularity and money off of hatred towards corporations. It's something so clichéd and outdated, but still very effective with a mass of idiots.
