    Why does AMD have such bizarre and confusing product branding? (Vandelay)

    We used to have great names. Then we sent people to Harvard Business school and they came back and messed them all up.
    This is my most often asked question on Twitter. Somebody once said he thought our drivers are so bad, they must be written by a moose.

    It was confirmed ages ago I thought? It's a similar chip to the PS4.

    In other news, this is perhaps why we're seeing a slow down in new chips and GPUs:

    Doesn't sound like an actual confirm to me, just more rumour.

    I like the way that article calls x86 a "so called instruction set", perhaps the journo is a RISC fan

    Fails to mention that it would actually be running the AMD64 instruction set, so points off there.

    Re: AMD - Piledriver chitchat

    The specs got "leaked" a while back and i'd be surprised if they're wrong given how accurate the PS4 leaks was.

    In other news the always online stuff has been brushed aside by MS and cost one of their Creative Directors his job for his foolish comments on Twitter.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Re: AMD - Piledriver chitchat

    I would think that Intel adding openCL support to the HD4000 line and the new HD chip.
    We will see openCl grow quite quickly. Which I think should be quite good for AMDs GPU/APU.

    It seems Haswell has higher CPU power consumption than IB.

    A bit off topic, but perhaps a beefier graphics portion, so when going full whack draw could be higher (still same fab process as IB isn't it?).

    Idle? usage is lower.

    Higher boost clock? They only give 2.6GHz base clock as a rating there, don't know what the two cpus boost to.

    Still struggling to understand what that has to do with AMD's Piledriver architecture

    It seems to be with a GTX680,so I thought it would be disabled.

    OTH,it could be due to the ES nature of the Haswell CPU.

    Rumour of expensive 8350 variant that clocks 20% higher than usual (5GHz).
