Sounds like a paid anti-MS shill. Especially since Win8/10 both work fine on BIOS only PCs.

claim they were always going to do this if needed to but hadn't realized they were required to
Yeah, and ignorance of the law is no excuse right? In places like Canada, the fines for failing to have the proper insurance start at $10k per incident. After the first incident, they jump to $50k, $100k and $250k per incident thereafter. Maybe it's time for the crown/DA to start laying fines at their feet.
It's just trickery to keep the Chinese back.
"Here. Look at our latest fighter plan plans! This is going to be the shit! Why don't you make a bunch of these suckers?"
In Ontario, anyone can open a cab company with next to no money if they're a single individual(in my city a person can run a 1-2 car company for $250-700/yearly). A company is required to front money for a mass-operators license in most cities/towns. This is anywhere from $10k to $500k depending on the number of cabs you're going to operate. Uber refuses to follow existing laws, bylaws, or even insurance regulations.
I can tell you right now what's going to happen. Someone is going to get into a serious or fatal crash with an uber driver, they're going to have bottom barrel liability insurance(because they refuse to follow the law), and the company will be banned from operating in xyz provinces/states/etc.
Protectionist laws like requiring a chauffeurs license? Having appropriate carrier insurance? Following the same rules that actual taxi companies have to? Holy fuck! It's like people want them to operate like a legal business or something!
On second thought, it looks like the AV company is staffed with idiots.
Yeah that pretty much sums it up. I have a legit copy through work and it gave me the 'blahblahblah ur a pr8' bit the other day.
You mean the "don't run reactors without proper controls" don't (thanks environmentalists) stall upgrades on a first gen nuclear reactor in an earthquake zone? Yeah. We already know about the first, the second though pushed back upgrades on the reactors several times.
It's not dissimilar to what happened at a medical reactor here in Canada. It didn't have a secondary or third backup system for various parts, and the environmentalists threw a hissy fit over and over and over again, and the government had enough and simply shut down the reactor leading to a world-wide shortage of medical isotopes until the new reactor was online.
The question then people should be asking, is are you using fast path or the slow path channel? My one machine is fast path and sees these problems, the other is slow path and doesn't see these problems. You put that together and what does it say? That fast path is still tweaking and testing like any other unstable build. While slow is doing a fine job of being stable.
How the hell it became news, I don't have a clue either. Microsoft said it was going to be released on July 29th, almost 28 days ago.
It's not too late for a single CPU/GPU package to completely change the playing field.
I think Intel say something like their integrated graphics is like 75 times more capable than their first one or whatever.
(I'm not comparing Intel and AMD here. Just stating how things have moved. There's of course the fact that Nvidia invest into Nvidia Grid, cloud rendering and streaming even games to consumers instead.)
It's all about what you need though. Integrated stuff is enough for many. But not for everyone. And streaming games will likely be the same.
But yeah. Who knows how many purchase graphics cards in the future.
The problem is, following this logic they should have used Nvidia GPU parts as well. This showcases AMD's weaknesses more than anything else. Its confirmation of what everyone already knows, AMD cant make low heat parts.
The Fury X is quicker than the GTX 980 and in half of the games seem to be quicker than the Titan X it seems:

So why the fuck would they use an Nvidia card if they got as quick card themselves?
I know it may not support feature level 12.1 of Direct X but that's it. One advantage is that it will allow you to get a cheaper FreeSync monitor.
I guess nobody here at
Maybe.
Their Piledriver processors was mostly released in 2012-2014. It's three years old by now.
Zen won't be here until 2016.
I have no idea whatever they intend to do the SMT ("hyper-threading") with the same number of cores or not but the IPC / clock is supposed to be 40% quicker.
If you take one of their 8 core chips and make it 40% quicker and then added SMT on top of that maybe it would be somewhat competitive.
Skylake which Intel releases real soon is supposed to be 15% faster / clock than current Haswell. And that's supposed to be a large step.
They had Cannondale in 10 nm planned for the next year but it won't happen then.
So yeah, 6700K will be slightly better than 4790K and by 2016 Intel will do another tock for a tick-tock-tock but AMD may be competitive.
Also the FX-8350 and such isn't all too bad relative the 4790K. _BUT IT IS FOR GAMING_.
I assume part of that is due to not multi-threaded well enough games and maybe to a higher degree that DirectX and OpenGL had the CPU overhead it has and don't spread over the CPU cores. When it does. Which is next month. The AMD processors will likely gain some relative Intel for DX12 titles.
So yeah. Just because they aren't competitive for gaming now doesn't mean that will always be the case.
Seem like the plan is for AMD to go 14 nm in 2016. That's not 10. But then again as said Intel won't reach 10 nm in 2016 either.
The text I read seemed to even question whatever they would do it in 2017.
Variables don't; constants aren't.
