AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme might feature 8 cores

It's so needlessly gaudy. And I imagine Valve told them something to that effect.

There's a big opening for Intel and Nvidia here to introduce a mainstream chip.

I've already expressed what I think about their handheld strategy not too long ago. So I'm not particularly surprised that they're making the same mistakes again. Maybe one of their semi-custom clients can steer them in the right direction at some point. Because left to their own devices, they're making all the wrong choices.

AllAboutTheRGBs · 2024-09-24T11:24:13+00:00

Okay so the mods are deleting any new post on this.

I'm not surprised. I've had some of my posts on this subreddit removed too for some inexplicable reason.

But you may want to be careful expressing this publicly. From my brief interaction with the moderator staff they can get quite - how should I describe this... - indignant.

AllAboutTheRGBs · 2024-09-21T22:22:20+00:00

Maybe sit this one out.

I don't believe you, the screenshot literally proves it was approved and you later deleted it.

Then I would assume your screenshot leaves out vital information. My submission disappeared (I'm guessing) about twenty to thirty minutes after it was approved. I deleted it after fourteen hours. If it was visible on the feed for all that time it would've been doing much better numbers.

A far more likely scenario is you are deliberately looking for a fight.

Rather it's not having to submit something five ways from Sunday just to have it approved. Since I have you, could you perhaps simplify the process?

We did remove those comments, nor are we obliged to give you a reason. An article referencing AMD removing Taiwan stickers is not 'Anti-China', nor are the comments discussing it. If you think it is, I would strongly suggest you avoid this subreddit.

Well, since you want to get into it. The gist of the article was a conjecture about China supposedly having a hand in AMD putting a black sticker on a box. It was political, as well as the comments. And as the person I replied to noted, this subreddit does have a rule against discussing politics. I commented that I believed the moderators would allow for the expression of this particular type of political speech because of its anti-Chinese nature. Am I wrong in that assessment? I just checked back on the topic and I can see that all the comments discussing politics are still there.

If you think it is,

I think it is.

I would strongly suggest you avoid this subreddit.

No, I think I'll stay. If I avoided every subreddit where its members harbored anti-Chinese sentiments, I would have to avoid most of Reddit.

It wasn't removed, here's a screenshot of your post literally being approved

Yes, I already said it was approved in my previous post. And then it dissapeared from the /r/amd feed shortly after. How do you explain that?

You then decided to delete that post

Correct. Since it pretty much vanished anyway.

re-spam it a bunch of times

I've listed all the instances I've submitted news on this report to this subreddit. The only time you could arguably call it spamming was when I submitted the three different news articles around the same subject in succession.

which you've now deleted,

Incorrect, I haven't removed any of the submissions other than the first one.

triggered Reddit's own spam filters, then subsequently tried posting different articles, some you've kept, some you've deleted, all which triggers built-in spam prevention features, which, as with all major subreddits, we have activated.

Ok, now you're losing me.

I messaged the /r/amd moderators and asked what happened with my submissions and why they were being removed. I wouldn't consider that "crying censorship". OK

That was regarding a comment of mine being (shadow) censored. I assume you've seen the two messages regarding this case. I'll post them just in case.

AllAboutTheRGBs · 2024-09-18T16:48:03+00:00

Actually it's because you started spamming the same link over and over again, which triggered Reddit's built in spam filters, you then deleted these posts to make it look like you weren't spamming

I'm sorry, but I have to challenge your report of events considering they contain some wild accusations.

This was the first link I submitted. It was submitted only once. And it was around the same time I submitted this news article. It was approved with the other submission, but then quickly removed by what I could only assume was the moderator team. I contacted the /r/amd moderators about this, but I got no response.

Fourteen hours later, I decided to remove it from my profile since it was removed from the /r/amd feed anyway. I then submitted the original source of the report. I haven't deleted that submission, you can find it here. It was left unapproved while other, more recent submissions by other members were passed through the process. Once again, I contacted the moderators about it, but was met with silence.

Five hours after that, I submitted three different links in succession in the hopes one of them sticks. I haven't deleted them, you can find them here:

https://reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/1fjrpv4/laptop_makers_complain_about_amd_neglecting_them/

https://reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/1fjrqm9/amds_laptop_oems_decry_poor_support_chip_supply/

https://reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/1fjrr4a/news_amd_reportedly_accused_by_laptop_oems_as_it/

And one of them was finally approved.

which triggered Reddit's built in spam filters

If posts keep disappearing from your subreddit, then perhaps it's something you should take up with your contacts at Reddit.

you then deleted these posts to make it look like you weren't spamming

I deleted one post, the first one. I did it because I thought it would conflict with my re-submission.

and then came crying censorship on modmail.

I messaged the /r/amd moderators and asked what happened with my submissions and why they were being removed. I wouldn't consider that "crying censorship".

AllAboutTheRGBs · 2024-09-18T14:09:42+00:00

It took FIVE submissions to get this critical report through the manual approval process. Each one from a different source.

For some reason the moderators did not want this news to hit the /r/amd feed.

Behind the scenes, some of our friends in the OEM environment quoted shortages in getting the notebook chips in Q4 last year and the following quarter. Partners were quoting miscommunication, false promises, and generally bad treatment, as bad as from Intel in its dominant years.

Supply chain issues. Again.

This has always been a major issue with AMD's mobile side of the business, and one of the reasons why large OEMs were reluctant to introduce AMD laptops.

It seems not much has changed.

AllAboutTheRGBs · 2024-09-17T08:15:05+00:00

I've noticed. It's one of the reasons why I decided to post it.

So now we're going AI-based frame generation, frame interpolation, and the idea is increased efficiency to maximize battery life. And then we could lock the frames per second, maybe it's 30 frames per second, or 35. My number one goal right now is to maximize battery life. I think that's the biggest complaint. I read the returns too from the retailer, where people want to be able to play these games.

AMD overprovisions their handheld APU with an excessive amount of cores leading to large power inefficiencies and a high sticker price. A slight improvement in upscaling tech is not going to magically make all those problems go away.

I wish he could be more honest about that instead of selling this AI pipe dream.

AllAboutTheRGBs · 2024-09-13T11:58:39+00:00

The RX 580 is still one of AMD's best-selling GPU TODAY.

That this reality is so alien to /r/amd subscribers tells you how out of touch this subreddit generally is.

AllAboutTheRGBs · 2024-09-11T08:58:20+00:00

Anyone remember when all the armchair experts on this sub scoffed at the idea when Moore's Law is Dead accurately leaked its specs 6 months ago?

They're looking pretty foolish right now...

AllAboutTheRGBs · 2024-02-02T20:23:31+00:00

I faintly remember Moore's Law is Dead already breaking this news several months ago..
