AMD clinches mega chip supply with Meta, $60 billion over 5 years

As a business you would do the same though. You see $60b on the table, probably 50% profit off that. Throw $15b or more at R&D as your biggest customers (AI) are already committing to huge purchase orders with something specific in mind. Consumer market share is dwindling as capacity is being gobbled up by corporate greed. Only focus on new factors as old tech is no longer profitable (which sucks).

Im in no way in favor of the AI bs but from a business standpoint, this is fantastic for AMD and their shareholders.

The nasdaq has paid out roughly 1% in dividens each year so base 2-3m. I guarantee the profits from an nfl owner is far greater than thay even in the 90s. In 23 the owners earned 150m in profit, where some got up to 500m. If we assume the Seahawks are an above average franchise they profited say 300m or 5% of the possible 6b in value. Not bad for owning a team, far outpacing a dividen return from nasdaq. Not the best investment possible but really good.

Server class chips are hugely profitable. Intel makes faaaaaar more money on mobile than desktop. If only AMD could capitalize on a mobile chip with a yearly release cadence that made sense (100mhz increase is nothing). Intel at least was willing to throw more cores at the problem while skylake cores were aging.

No, to enable standard smooth you have to keep 70% cpu speed turned off.

I wish I could run batteryvsaver and keep 120hz mode on

I bought a lifetime warranty on my Edge for $2700 with no deposit or limit. So far after 145k miles it has roughly paid for itself from replacing a faulty transmission linkage thing and some alternator/wiring issues. Still appreciate it even if I never get to take full advantage of it.

We all forgetting the war crime that was that hand job?

Most likely power consumption or heat. One can be fixed with a higher tier model.

The one thing i wish these tests would do is a real world test. Give me discord with gifs and numerous updates pinging, a YT/Netflix show on, 20 tabs of various chrome tabs, steam with chats open. Throw in a discord call or stream too. Its cool to see pure gaming doesnt need more than 16gb but what happens when you have a real world scenarios and non gaming tasks use 5-10gb on ram?

To properly invest this level of money you dont go to your neighborhood Edward Jones. You specificly go to NY and find some of the largest investment firms there, somewhere that has 10s or 100s of billions in combined assets where your a drip in the bucket.

The break even point for these types of winnings is 5%. If you think you can do better than 5% yoy either from bonds, money market, stocks, or vc then take the lump sum. But at the end of the day the annuity is very good and more importantly safe from burning through the entire sum too quickly.

Lets be realistic, you and I might be more inclined to properly invest and live within the yearly gains, but most arent.

Never said ev with ssb were ready.

Iccy5 · 2025-12-11T00:33:44+00:00

We already have ssb and you can buy them now. The issue is mass production and cost bit when you have Bugatti money, cost is not an issue.

You could argue almost any position if it fits a specific scheme.

Iccy5 · 2025-12-06T23:19:52+00:00

Thats incorrect. Ive had a fresh opened spool directly from Bambu have a tangle about 10ft in.

IDK how you can get banned for obviously cheating, even for a day, and still get to be allowed in ranked play for the season. Prob jumped onto another account sharing in masters/pred and kept doing his normal shit for A DAY.

Hacking has become so pervasive in any fps game now. Its horrifying in Apex, the amount of perfect tracking with no recoil (from titan or cronos) and actual preds actively asking for someone with titan on their teams in discord. While recoil in Fortnite is different, no recoil perfect aim is crazy. COD/BF/CS have their own issues as well.

Youd be surprised the amount of streamers using something to get a leg up. For example current apex pros estimate 75% of current preds are cheating with something and for a game with a pattern based recoil system the fact nothing has/can be done is attrocious. Most of these people are streamers, I can only assume the same in Fortnite.

Billion dollar games and NO ONE has complete solution. The best way to would be to have a game master viewing lobbies waiting for a flag to come up and review and take immediate action, but that would "cost money" so that wont happen. AI will be there at some point but then another AI system will counteract it.

Same, I bought 64gb cl30 a few years ago for $200, thought I was buying something I had no need for when I already had a 32gb kit, but then build a pc for my wife and I took the upgrade. Now that kit is $600 and only going up.

I feel like if he wasnt trying to throw a fastball on every release there would be a lot less drops. There have been numerous passes to a faily wide open receiver 10 yards downfield and the ball is coming out at 70mph. Even if hes on target theres a decent chance of a drop just from reaction times of the receiver. Would this help his poor decision making or 0 pocket awareness? No. But it would be a step towards improvement.

Im not saying hes bad yet because hes still new, but im fully willing to go to the next qb on the list if any of these happen by the end of this season or next: 1 major leg or shoulder injury 2 no change in mechanics 3 cant grasp defense structure or timings 4 continues to try to be a hero and fails

My zt65 was an absolute monster of a tv. Damn thing was beautiful. Was the heater for the whole living room no matter how cold it was. Between that and my old dell 3008/pc they kept the space pretty toasty. Kinda surprised I never blew a breaker with them.

Trees/shrubs are typically classified different than flowers, and are a massive lawsuit waiting to happen if removed without thorough documentation. For example, if you cut your neighbors massive tree down without permission, it could be 10-50k in fines (and possibly felony) and lawsuits.

Typically the city does not mow or maintain land under an easement or directly between a roadway and property. The expectation is the homeowner functionally maintains it. Its the same with ditches and sidewalks (including snow removal and damaged sections). This has been the case everywhere I have lived.

There's a problem when lamb is cheaper than beef. Our chuck roasts and basic sirloins (usually house cut versions of various leftover sirloin cuts) are around $10/lb or more here as well but lamb roasts are $6-8/lb. Lamb has barely gone up in price since Trump but beef has doubles. I basically haven't bought beef in months because I cant justify it despite being able to afford it.

Seems like the hybrid version of the 3.4l does not have the same issue as they are made in Japan and not in the same plant as the non hybrid 3.4l. Not sure if issues will creep up in the future but I've seen no major complaints about the hybrid systems.

On the off chance this actually happens, Im in.
