Hi! It's a bit unrelated, but how is your baby boy doing?
I have one Herman Miller, it is the best chair!
At £1440 at 20% off that’s a *little* out of my price range ngl
Core U9 285k
Just say U9, because no other CPU is branded with the term U9. For example, you can say U9 285k. 🤷♀ everyone will know it's an Intel CPU, just by the U9. 🤓👍
U9 139k Processor. 😋
U9 149ks Processor 😋
Is 4070 good at 1080p for 5-6 years?
If everything is ultra, then nothing is ultra.
it'll be mega ultra, super ultra and platinum ultra
Ultra right.
@@raydioz or ulatra AI
@@seebulll We forgot Ultra Ti and Ultra Ti SUPER.
This is the same nonsense that people stressed about when we lost the Penitum branding, with simple Pentium # + MHz/GHz. Nothingburger tastes like nothing.
"Shocked by" the charging team news. Well done.

if its any good, it has to be Ultra Ultra
I bought an RX 7800 XT, despite my friends' protests since he knows I dip into VR gaming frequently with my Quest 3. Guess what? It works PERFECTLY via Virtual Desktop with SkyrimVR. It's been a goddamn smooth experience. I could set VD to Ultra, and use AMD's AFMF (unsure if it actually works properly, or the 7800XT has just so much power that it's already smooth as it is), and it feels like a smooth goddamn experience. Bleak Falls Barrow was so fucking sick.
Lol Skyrim ofc it runs smooth
Are you sure the headset is using amd AFMF and not the quest ASW? because If it can use AFMF and it looks better than ASW it'd be absolutely insane
@@Eleganttf2 the point isn't that it's a difficult game to run. The point is that AMD doesn't have as good a reputation with PCVR as Nvidia does.
@@thespianmask8451 of course yeah especially in the past and even still now kinda is. Stigma always happens for a reason
@@thespianmask8451I have always had a terrible experience with vr on nvidia cards, constant crashing, random issues that take hours to fix, random stuttering and headache inducing visual artifacts
i am and i did, your video title is refuted
Seems like he touched some nerves 😬
Same
@lucaschenJC I just went 5600x3d and a 6700xt lol. Hard to beat on price for 1440p performance and I play competitively on 1080p
It's okay, he also said the PlayStation Portal was worth the price.
Same, I bought my RX6750XT last month, gave my old RX6600 (also pretty great card for the price btw, way better than anything Nvidia offers) to a friend who was previously using a 1060 6gb.
Honestly, I'm surprised AMD is struggling, especially since they given some great budget options and lowered prices on RDNA 2 and 3.
They aren't though. Ryzen is selling better than Intel's CPUs, and they are gaining in server and AI market.
u talkin to a bot my guy @@gtbeakerman
@@gtbeakerman that simply isnt true. lol
@@gtbeakerman AMD CPU is fine. but in AI AMD only seen as alternative if they can't get nvidia hardware. if they have a choice of expensive nvidia and cheaper AMD what they do is they will require more resource so they can buy nvidia. that's what i heard what happen with MS before.
doesn't mean they sell well. think about it for a second why they offer their stuff at cheaper price. in the server space their Eypc sales were so high in demand they end up increasing their price by 30% before.
The oddest thing about the core ultra branding is that they stated that the 'Core' part of the branding was the iconic part. I never heard anyone say 'Core i9' it was always just 'i9'. Core was extremely redundant and didn't matter in the slightest. I haven't said Core in the names since Core 2 duo.
I refuse to call them core ultra. It will always be core i for me. I always say "i9", I'm not gonna say "9". I refuse.
@@matthijsvandeweerd1415 i2 refuse.
I'm still gonna call it a 15900k and so on. If it had been ultra 9 290k or something like that I would've tolerated it, but 285k is just so hard to say.
@@matthijsvandeweerd1415 why do you guys care so much i genuinely dgi. like if you're not just mad about how confusing the names are, where does the attachment to any particular naming convention come from.
I honestly think dropping the 3, 5, 7 scheme and saying Core i15900K like back in the day with i386 would've been a better rework
I have a Herman Miller Aeron chair that was purchased for me through work for ~$1600 CDN in 2001.
I thought it was a rip-off, at the time.
I am still using this chair. Its in near perfect condition. It's fantastic. The BEST chair I have ever had.
The chair has retired with me now an is my gaming chair.
Going to be burried with it. Or maybe incinerated with it, not sure yet.
Same! I bought an Aeron back in 2020 and it's the best chair I sat in, ever. The 12 years warranty also should be a factor worthy of note. Most cheaper chairs you're gonna see only have between 1 to 5 years of warranty, after which if your chair breaks, you gotta buy another which likely ends up being the same price as an equivalent HM chair.
Aeron is the Nokia 3310 of chairs.
If longevity is a solid indicator of a good chair, then stone is the way to go. The Neolithic craftsmen have iterated their design for centuries and today we are lucky to have the best stone monolithic seating available in the history of our realm. God Bless!
i also have a 25 year old aeron. it’s older than i am, and i sit in it daily and love it.
Good chairs are worth every penny

They make the morning time epic
We really cant make a dent at NVIDIA at all despite having AMD smart buyers and fanboys buying them
NVIDIA doesnt really rely on gamers, they can lose all of the gaming market and still be making dough
@@infinite1483 yeah thats unfortunate
Man I tired. Was looking to buy a new laptop but everything with an AMD gpu was sold out
@@infinite1483 That is recent news, like 10-ish years. Before that, they relied on their utube shill army "tech tubers" to build their mindshare.
And in the mind of the average NPC-builder there is only 2 brands - InHell and NoVideo.Also if you notice something, this channel is shitting hard on AMD for no reason last month, JUST as InHell STABILITY issues popped up in the news - that makes you wonder who is payrolling his utube career.
Solution. Make a high end GPU to compete with the 4090 series
Ngreedia is not even an option for me anymore.
Amd needs to fix their VR performance for it to become a viable product in my book (because VR simracing is epic). The 7900xtx may have the needed raw performance, but the drivers VR compatiblity needs alot of work still.
@@gasracing5000 Double niche use case, nice. AI needs libraries, RCOM seems to be getting better
@@gasracing5000VR is pretty irrelevant in terms of sales.
That's real. I'm a double niche use case 😘
And that's very real, VR compatability accounts for spit in sales.
AMD has upped their game, and the drivers have come so far for most use cases in the past few years. The fundamentals are solid now.
Niche cases like VR and maybe more common RayTracing (🤢) are still way off.
AMD should be a viable option these days, but few are using their gpus. The cpus are looking real good these days though, I've never recommended a team red product, but the 7800x3d and 7900x are fairly reliable beasts.
Same here there prices are beyond nuts
As a budget builder of PCs most of my builds are AMD based unless the customer specifically asks for Intel or Nvidia components.
I think AMD out performs Intel at almost every level and competitively priced. You could build a budged or high end computer with them.
AMD is inferior, LOL, that's why it's cheaper. Just because the number on the screen show a higher number doesn't translate to all necessary areas of usage.
The 7950x3d is more expensive than the i9 14900K so AMD is not really budget anymore. Actually intel offers better value for the money nowadays with more cores for cheaper
@@TechVids4Life on the CPU side, they are not even cheaper
@@lavaregion6968 there is more to each company than the most expensive parts 😂 having said that, the 5600 builds that I get requested to put together outperform similarly priced offering from Intel. Not hating on either side just most of my customers want AMD so I provide them what they ask for.
Ruined the perfect opportunity to say you went down a "Rabbit Hole "
Isn’t their web ui for apps n shit called that?
Infrastructure is one of the few things stopping electric vehicles from becoming super mainstream. I think many e-automakers thought it would be quicker to become mainstream. They honestly should have known better.

says “ASOP” then proceeds to say “Android Open Source Project”
My brain can't not read & pronounce the acronmy wrong. I've tried so hard.
@@UFDTech me and my friend can relate lol
we keep saying Android Open Source Project as ASOP in acronym form and its kinda annoying
AMD is still the "discount storebrand option", the only thing it can compete with is price. Offering 10% better value in rasterized performance doesn't mean much when your performance goes to shit when you enable RT effects, and the features you offer are generally only worse versions of NVIDIA features. Then there's the elephant in the room that to many computers aren't _only_ glorified gaming consoles, we do all sort of work on our puters. That's where AMD starts becoming a nonstarter, especially if it includes anything built around CUDA, or anything AI.
AMD needs to do better than be perpetually catching up.
Nice to see my state (Wyoming) in the news for something that doesn't make me want to curse or bury my head in shame.

Mr Beast; $1 computer vs $60000 super computer.
I think AMD 7000 series problem is the naming. I bought a 7900 GRE and it being equivalent to a 4070 Super is really weird.
The sandcastle metaphor? Analogy? about rabbit was actually really spot on. That's a great way of explaining the situation.
I bought a gigabyte 7800xt and 7 7700x to support AMD and Lisa this past Christmas and will probably not go back to team green for a while. Thank you AMD for making gaming components affordable and caring for their audience!
amd keeeps out stocking wth is this man saying
the funny thing is i bought an arc a750 last month, i think my options were that or rx 7600
i do like the feature set it brings on the table, even though its drivers occasionally do wonky stuff. Intel's media SDK never disappoints.
As much as I would be kicking myself if they release a battlemage gpu at the same price point and it has better feature set/lower wattage, it would also mean intel has finally found it's bearings in the dgpu market, and that's huge for budget ballers.
if i had money i would be buying AMD . .
fuck intel and nvidia.
Im currently saving up and going full amd
unless intel and nvidia were cheaper. which they would be if they weren't market leaders.
Same! I'm almost finishing my Ryzen 7 7700 + RX 7900 XTX build
fuck NVIDIA, and Intel... well, Intel is ok in my eyes
@@ShunaKagami Yea Intel is at least trying, kinda...
u love amd right?
let me tell u something
if no one buys intel amd is not your friends they will up their prices becaause of no competitiom
I think the one question that everyone is asking about the Cheyenne supercomputer is, "How well does it run Minecraft Java Server?"
I want to go amd for my next upgrade when I can afford it. One of my friends got the 7800x3d and 7900xtx.
Just remember to properly uninstall your old drivers and you'll love it
Fun fact, both AMD and Lisa Su were born in '69, noice!

I absolutely love your painting style. I'm learning a lot about painting models /statues. I'd I ever get a 3d printer, I will be doing some of these, myself. Absolutely, fantastic work. I can't wait to see the turtles done, and see how you tweak them to make them your own.
"That's my life and I'm sticking to it"
I think this might be something I start dropping in conversations 😁
At this point, I feel like the two "AI in a box" (as MKBHD coined the Rabbit R1 and Humane Pin) have been so bad that even if there are good ones in the future (assuming they can fix the fundamental flaw of just using an app), it will almost certainly not sell well due to the skepticism from these last 2.
I feel like the idea is cool but the price and inability to just match a phone is what's holding it back. The humane pin can't even be used to plan calendar events! Like come on. If it's gonna be the price of a phone it needs to be at least as useful as a phone
I’ve had my Herman Miller Embody for about a decade. 10/10.
Some people the Embody doesn't work for, I had to get a Herman Miller Aeron, both great chairs.
Elon laying off the supercharges staff does not mean he's shutting down superchargers. My impression is that he's going to re-staff with lower cost employees who are more focused on keeping the system running and growing the network at a slower pace.
he said this in the video. And that was not the point of the segment
this kinda business model is just gonna breed laziness in his employees, why develop something great like the supercharging when elon will replace you with a cheaper guy
I love Elon's big-brain plans.
If only he didn't spend billions on a failing social media platform...
AMD graphics cards still have a stigma against them due to past poor performance from prior generations. Seven years ago AMD's 500 series cards massively underperformed compared to Nvidia's 1000 series, so the stigma is somewhat justified. That said my 7900 XT is killing it in games where my 3070 Ti could barely keep up. Unless you are are spending $800+ and are really into one of the few heavily raytraced titles on the market, there is no reason to be going NVIDIA right now other than brand loyalty.
Steamstats' hardware survey still shows nvidia at 76% gpu's, intel at 65% cpu's. Though looking at the list, the 3060 is actually at the top and the top cpu speeds are 2.3-2.69 ghz, so it's mostly lower end systems, 1080p at 58% so the vast majority still not going for super high fidelity or anything.
Aside from the 7900 XTX most of Radeon 7000 performs identically to 6000. It has lower power draw and AV1, but it's not a big perf leap. My 7800 XT is great and was the cheapest thing available in years, but frankly, for the price I should've been able to get a 7900 XT.
I just bought a miniPC with AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS ( $640 ) - Fortnite 1440p, DX11, Nanite Off, Textures High, 60 FPS, V-Sync On
Rare brew coffee smooth mellow taste with a good flavor 10/10
I have an Aeron at work, and it's really amazing. I wish I was able to sit in one at home.
“I, having a bottom and back that can handle other things” 😏
I would probably have bought a 7800xt if it was out at around the same time as the 4070. But since it launched so much later I had already bought the 4070, and watching a lot of tech youtubers many of them even questioned if there was ever gonna be a 7800xt.
my next gpu is going to be an AMD one and nobody is gonna change my mind otherwise
can someone tell me what the song they use in the intro?
I'm between the 4070 Ti Super and the 7900 XT. I would love to buy the 7900 XT, but in my country, because of taxes, on sale, the 7900 is around $980, while the 4070 ti super is around $1000. So rn, it doesn't make much sense to go with team read, but I'm hoping the 7900 will get cheaper
You could use the supercomputer for syngap research and do some gaming on the side.
Bought one 7900 XT and buying another tonight or this weekend for my GFs computer. So far loving it. Upgrading my 5600X to a 5800X3D and giving my GF the 5600X, gonna be an AMD house soon lol..
*just bought an AMD card*
AMD doesn't make and sell graphics cards, they sell the GPU silicon to board makers. They could be giving up a ton of revenue on the price they are selling their chips just to remain competitive with nvidia. While a consumer is paying $500 for a 7800XT and $600 for a 4070 Super, a 20% difference, nvidia's revenues on the chips could be 100%-200% higher than AMD's, and even more ludicrous with the 4090.
heard those herman-miller chairs are incredibly nice.

Huh, weird title... my GPUs over the years.Radeon 5570, Radeon R9 280X, Nvidia 1070ti. My current rigs: 5700G/RX 6700X, 3800X/6950X, 5900X/6950X. Over the years, got a Cyrix DX4 1000Mhz, Athlon 3 core cpu, intel i7 860, intel i5 6600K. Before the Radeon 5570, I had an Nvidia 680 or 860 something, RMA'd twice and still died before warranty. That thing was from BFG, guess that company went under. Seems I buy more AMD products done others.
Soo..
My desktop PC os is also an Android OS as it can run android apps ?
I liderally installed the support few weeks ago on my linux based OS i have had/used on it 7years.
Android is also actually a linux based OS.
This is crazy to hear as I just invested into the amd ecoverse with a 6800 xt purchase, which is my first ever amd graphics card, and it's absolutely amazing!
Is AMD doing ok with PC graphics card (despite MSI) but with the consoles market sales going down this on a whole affects them in a negative way; I think Lisa Su was saying this in the last quarter report. Well its just intel also amd; I think the Qualcomm Snapdragon ARM will further hurt them in some niche markets. I still don't see too much with RISC-V, that would be good if it improves.
Wow the AMD news is surprising still sticking with em with the Build I've been saving up for.😊
i mean it does make sense that is not just an android system since there are a lot of thing that can run android, from translator pens to vr headsets, with a few calculators, old phones, and leapfrogs in betwen, the fact that runs something does not make it entirely a certain os device, not trying to defend it, but we do need to remind ourselves that lil bit.
I don't know if this is possible but do you think that if AMD advertised their cards as "what powers the next gen consoles," that it would have any effect on people? Would more people buy AMD if they could equate it to something like a PS5?
The whole "Amd has bad drivers" meme will never die, unfortunately.
Right? To be fair my experience with AMD is basically all single player games though
I literally love my 7900 xt
me too, its about to go back in today, I had a psu failure, got the PSU RMA'd then my son broke my nice monitor, so I've got a displayport to DVID adaptor in the mail, and I'm about to see frames to the moon on this old ass 1440x900p 75hz monitor I have until I get a new screen

I mean I bought an RX580 in like 2017 I think idk when it came out, been using it since to play even the newest games on medium settings for 60+FPS, so I'm pretty satisfied considering a 1060 or 1660 would be double the price and give the same performance. Don't know about processors though since I don't have an AMD socketed motherboard currently
Im wondering if AMD has improved their streaming encoder engine? I always chose nvidia due to the dedicated encoders for when i streamed games
Amd gpu needs rocm.
Without cuda or an equivalent to it, i have to stay on team Green.
It's So essentiell to All kinds of dev work.
Exactly. I'd gladly switch to AMD if they supported more productivity/dev software.

Not surprising, nVidia's brand power is only second to Apple, no matter how bad their value offer is or consumer disrespect they show, people will buy nVidia because of the brand, it's quite simple.

anybody knows name of soundtrack playing at 14:38?
I will go all amd my next build, since intel fumbled hard with 13th/14th gen
It's a perfect time to buy AMD GPUs at a decent price, especially 7800 XT and 7900 GRE.
Who's gonna win? A big marketing boi making a new AI device or one bad boi with a keyboard and a type-c adapter
I like AMD CPUs since 2700x (I also got a 1600 for my mother as her home desktop). Now I run a laptop with 5900HX and I love it. But GPU side I wanted to give a try with 5xxx series but in the end I went 2070S and now 3080 16GB. I don't know what AMD can do for me to get their GPU.
That Cheyanne Super Computer is probably the only computer able to run Cities:Skylines 2.
As someone who has severe lung issues for over 3 years as a result of COVID, the lung review comment was much appreciated, even though I'm not the demographic who could afford a herman miller 🤣🤣
I have a 7800xt and it's great. But they made it a battle to get in my region, I only got mine after several sales lowered the price. They need to price their entire line up far more competitively.
I chose an RX 7900 XT over the RTX 3k/4k series this upgrade season and don't regret it an ounce, and yes, I do hardware accelerated editing / streaming.
People SEVERELY underestimate what their cards can do and it's sad.
AMD GPUs need a new look revamp. they don't look as enticing as Nvidia GPUs. As much as people say they only care about performance, when they are going to pay for a build, they do a lot of things for the look.
Nah. The Reference 7900 XTX has the best looking cooler period. Easily.
i understand that you need sponsers but enough about the chairs, had to switch off, any news
Honestly, I see the Supercharger layoffs as a good thing mostly due to Anti-compete clauses in contracts now being illegal.
Now we can get supercharger techies working with other charging networks, and improving them (much to Elon's detriment).
I completely agree with you on the rabbit r1. People will never change, always looking for the next shiny thing wich is AI now.
My past 3 builds were partial/full AMD.
3700X + 1070ti
5950X + RX6800
7950X + RX7900XTX
Well, when the 4080S was released I jumped ship and traded in my xtx for it. It's a slight downgrade in vram and raster, but I was tired of the drivers crashing. Both with the 6800 and xtx. Both fresh windows installs. Only one crash so far on the 4080 and I didn't even use DDU. Not happy I had to support Nvidia but I needed to.
I like Brettfast, even though I never eat Brettfast, Eat beef kids.
I have a 6800xt and 5950x...I wanted to skip the 7000 series of GPU and buy the 8000 series only the high end model the 8900xtx... I would definitely buy it.... Come on AMD
While me returned the 4070 and replaced by 7800xt and this is amazing by far
Intel should use the longest German word in their naming like this:
Intel Core Ultra Processor Donaudampfschiffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft 285K
I never had amd gpu ever bought a 7900xtx cause its not only cheaper then the 4080 but performs better
We got two brants today. That makes me happy.
I bought an rx 7600 last summer expecting to upgrade it later on, and it actually performs decently well and i havent been disappointed with it often. I probably still will upgrade to something with more vram, its just a matter of when essentially. Highly considering 7900xt if i buy during this generation
A question for those who bought Nvidia RTX 4000 series gpus over AMD R 7000 series: why, exactly? I'm serious. I want to hear your side of the story. What are your reasons?
If I were shopping for a gaming pc right now I'd be getting a 7900 xt or xtx, no doubt. Don't want melting power cables
while intel's rollout of the "core ultra" naming scheme is frustrating to say the least, there is at least a silver lining, especially for used market buyers. a listing for an "i7 system" could be anything from a high-performance, modern system, to an ancient, decrepit system hardly capable of running modern windows usably. refreshing the naming convention, at the very least, provides a little more clarity as to the recency of a given chip or system.
Full Intel systems will be named Ultra Battlemage. Makes child me happy.
I bought all AMD in Q2 2023 but 5800X3D and 7900XT are so good that I won't need to buy anything for years.
Part of the oproblem is that the 680m and 780m iGPU has been bangers which is why rumors are that the next gen CPU gonna have 40 cu igpu on the top end which is like a 3060ti
I have absolutely zero brand loyalty, but the reason I go toward nvidia when purchasing a discrete gpu comes down almost exclusively to a large number of accelerated applications requiring cuda specifically. from upscaling applications like wifu2x to ai image generators like stable diffusion, to the most performant cgi renderers availible in apps like blender... also nvidia has some specialty apps like ai upscailing that works like a video filter (scales most videos in a browser (or in potplayer for my ripped blu-rays and dvd's), works great on my 4k displays. nvidia also has their broadcast ai noise removal and ai background removal services for when I stream with obs which I make use of. I have yet to find equivalent functionality on the amd front... but I would LOVE to see increased competition and some more open standards for performant ai workload development (rather than just writing for cuda). and i'd love it if amd would cater a little better to the streaming and video production crowd with something similar to the rtx broadcast tools. competition is great for everyone for improved pricing, improved features all around, and improved quality. amd's gpu team is world class - the 7000 series gpus are actually pretty dang decent in terms of raw hardware - now they just need to get real-world feature parity.
AMD could be crushing the xx60 series, and might want to focus there. Polaris was relatively successful and is still somewhat relevant today. The RX 580 competed directly with the GTX 1060. Both were great cards. RX 580 remains the most widely used AMD card on steam to this day. It's possible RX 8000 might just do this, since the rumors are there will be no highend cards this round. If they can produce a card that crushes the RTX 5060 and sell it for like $260-280, that'd be a winner.
Layoffs are sometimes an out for an employee looking to retire. For the Tesla Supercharging guy it might be to give him a golden shoot out of the company.
I bought a pre-built pc with a RX 7900 GRE 16go, a Rysen 5 5500, alll with an SSD 1T for 900 euros, and i have no problems running any new game so far, i used to have a 1050 with a I3, so i cant tell you how great it felt, and if you are on a budget, go with AMD
