Radeon

Let's move to another news story.

AMD GPUs climbing up the sales charts as Radeon beats Nvidia on Amazon and in Germany.

Now, I know that MindFactory will, of course, show that they are beating Nvidia.

Well, of...

... with story number one.

DLSS 5 releases to endless debates, reliability concerns, and it even works on Radeon.

Early DLSS 5 testing is in, and it includes, uh, hallucinated lighting, sub-60 FPS gaming benchmarks, and at least one user having their RTX 5090's connector melt, just like I warned it would possibly in last week's video.

Oh, and apparently it works on the 40 series and even Radeon.

That's right.

No joking.

So finally, also, because modders have already proven that DLSS 5 works on older Nvidia generations, Nvidia has been forced to agree that they will port this tech to the RTX 40 series.

Uh, and friends of the podcast...

In his series, Iron Fist has faced Angar the Screamer, the Hill 3 plant people who I have done an episode on, Master Khan, who is just a wildly racist caricature of a Chinese villain, like worse than the Mandarin.

We have Radeon, the Atomic Man, Scimitar, Kumballa Bay, Chaka Khan, and the Golden Tigers.

I'm not joking.

The Wrecking Crew, Boomerang has been here.

So he gets...

Like flagship level 7900 XTX AMD Radeon with a second graphics card that's also a 7000 series Radeon 7600.

So he could do liquid frame gen on AMD.

He plays, I guess, Helldivers, the game that lost him the competition.

32 gigs of DDR4, an NVMe drive.

It had a dedicated GPU that I had to pull out because it needed the legacy Radeon driver, which I

just wasn't getting on

installing.

It's like, you know, the single point of failure, if you will, about the AI trade.

And, you know, sooner or later, there's gonna be a quarter where all of this competition, whether it's Amazon Trainium, it's Google TPUs, it's, uh, AMD Radeon, it's, you know, the list goes on and on.

You know, Google working with Marvell to create their own chips.

You know? Maybe the Chinese not caring about the H100s, that sort of thing, and buying them, that sort of thing.

And then our sort of, I guess we were a bit horrified about the current state of GPU pricing and how things have gone.

So a few interesting comparisons between current Radeon prices and current GeForce prices towards the end.

So let's get into it.

We're kicking off this podcast with a discussion on something that was actually requested by someone in our Discord community.

up to 40% larger.

And in the last week or so, we've seen that come true.

So you're now here in Australia and more so even in the US, I think the US, the 5060 Ti, so the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 gigabyte now costs more than a Radeon RX 9070 XT.

So, yeah, I said that right.

Prior is the theme 999 writes in and says, I'm curious to know what the prior senior product manager at AMD, James Pryor, who witnessed cool names like Threadripper and Zen, thinks of AMD's new naming decisions.

Radeon is at 9,000 now, skipping over 8,000 to the prior 7,000.

Where do they plan on going next? And with products like AI Max Plus 395 floating around, And much more.

Is it just me who misses these prior employees like James who made cool names? I will say, though, the internal code names are really cool.

But what is...

It all comes across.

And the same problem on the Radeon side.

and the Ryzen side.
