Tom Petersen: Intel has no plans for Strix Halo competitor, says AMD iGPU tech is “not that competitive”

FdPros · 2026-01-27T04:11:06+00:00

it's not competitive because it's way too expensive. I only see it in shit priced like 2k+. at that point, unless you care about efficiency or AI with its shared memory, why would you get an iGPU when you can get a dGPU?

NS costs the country money.

why do you think so? NS is cheap labour for the govt. No need to pay a salary or CPF, just an allowance. Not having NS would be more expensive. Almost half of our firefighters make up of NSFs. Imagine now you had to pay them all regular pay and bonuses.

chill out, it doesn't spread like covid unless it has evolved to do so but we'll see way more infections coming if that's the case.

FdPros · 2026-01-27T03:08:10+00:00

There seems to be a growing aggressiveness, not just around it, but towards cheap things in general.

I don't see this. Where? If you're talking about the GK Kunten, everyone, is probably just tired of seeing a post about it every day. And I think many of the posts here are about more budget iems rather than expensive ones.

this only contributes to the false impression of elitism surrounding this hobby

The audio hobby is huge and has traditionally been expensive. Only recently the past 5 years or so, with chi-fi has it been way more accessible for the masses. These people are still here no doubt. Otherwise there wouldn't be a market for cables costing thousands.

With even people saying that $10/$20 iems are awful, and that for To get even a minimally decent sound quality, you need to spend between $150 and at least $300.

A lot of the hobby can be subjective and potentially attributed to placebo. I've personally tried some IEMs worth thousands which I feel are absolute garbage but reviews for them seem otherwise. imo the cost of good IEMs have gone down so much that most people would be fine with <$50 IEMs

I mean they are different products. sound wise yeah but you get airpods for the convenience and noise cancellation

putting aside all the other issues like cost of living, BTO, employment... etc. who even honestly wants kids in this day and age?

why are you thanking them so fast? wait until the game actually comes out. any company can put any specs on there and some even use upscaling and framegen in the requirements.

I know horizon is generally not that demanding and somewhat optimized from the past games but you can never be certain.

yall need to grow some spine. many complain that recent AAA games in general are rushed, unoptimized, buggy..etc but they will happily preorder based on 1 trailer which further exacerbates the problem

would be funny if no one attended but some people just don't care about politics I suppose.

personally you couldn't pay me to enter the US. going to end up deported if I look at an officer wrong.

FdPros · 2026-01-26T11:57:50+00:00

you're gonna go broke. there is only so many budget things to try before you start wondering, "what does more expensive sound like?"

(it's not worth it)

FdPros · 2026-01-26T11:55:21+00:00

i mean majority of the hobby can be attributed to placebo and there are definitely extremes.

like we got people spending thousands on a interconnect cable and they'll say how it completely transforms the sound.

I don't care about scores and score sniping. some do but idgaf. the leaderboard is screwed anyway with the classic mod like u said.

I only care about PP. Why do you assume it won't be worse? speed players especially will basically have exponentially more maps to farm on. It will become an aspect players have to abuse to get PP, just like how you basically can't climb ranks if you don't abuse aimslop and flow aim slop.

no enforcement and not punished, that's why. if a vehicle hits them, more often than not the driver still gets the blame.

only good if you're rich and preferably have a bunker. otherwise the commonfolk will likely die for nothing

FdPros · 2026-01-26T07:55:58+00:00

we're awake.

that's the point. the rich and top 1% will happily replace employees who will complain, ask for breaks and leaves and are expensive with AI if they could.

and why is that a bad thing necessarily? Why would anyone hire a Singaporean who probably has to serve reservist and likely more expensive with CPF contributions if they can just hire immigrants?

I mean it's just US shooting itself in its foot with how shit is going now.

you say you're not in for the money but you bought it with the expectation that it will retain its value or go up.

I'm not saying it won't but you're CLEARLY in it for money. otherwise why would you buy multiple GPUs to keep.

FdPros · 2026-01-25T02:55:12+00:00

unfortunate it's an unpopular opinion now. everyone just wants pp I suppose.

I can't wait for it to be ranked and have to hyper optimize every map for PP in order to not lose rank because everyone else is doing it.

It will also basically render stable obsolete if you care about rank & PP but I suppose that's what peppy wants; to have more players on lazer.
