Thank you very much. It's kind of bitter to see a guy who was a that friendly geek that you would root for success because he knew his shit. And then see him slowly change over the years to become a certified asshole with his political BLM/unusual viewpoints.
Which is why he got his own topic on this site.
Always try to keep politics and religion out of things. It's a lot safer and easier to do business with.

According to linus at 11 minutes in that is the case
intel is still going to be sponsoring their videos, just not the "extreme upgrade" series, and they managed to get AMD to fill the gap.

Thank you for taking one for the team and furthering the clarification.

TL;DW: Intel scaling back production and only focused on what their customers (large corporations) wants. These customers already forcing them to meet the deadline on some of their server stuff by Q1/Q2 next year or they'll jump ship and use AMD. Intel is losing to AMD HARD on the server side and needs to stop bleeding cash or they might not even exist in a couple of years.
Honestly, I wouldn't put my money on Linus too if I was intel, especially when the product is given to people that aren't marketable (Linus' employee). I think Linus needs to think hard about how to increase revenue for LTT going forward. Still waiting on that sound lab they have promised, when will it be ready Linus?

I like your optimism that it was for VR games. More likely VR porn.
Used to know this ridiculously buff dude who'd play WoW, just farming gold or transmog, while on his exercise bike or a treadmill. Honestly a really smart idea.

AMD offered a $5001 tech upgrade, they couldn't turn it down.
Realistically intel saw that people were spending more and more of that $5000 on non-intel stuff and the PC building was a very minor portion of the video. Behind shit like speakers etc. Weren't getting their money's worth. Here's $5k just make sure you get an intel CPU and you can waste the rest on a couch and bed if you want! I'm sure intel expected to see some crazy PC builds not people upgrading their living spaces.

I bet that in the next generations NVidia will losing agains AMD too in GPU's. Intel and NVidia has the same problem that AMD doesn't have, using monolithic and not chiplet architectures. While it made sense to use monolithic in the past when the dies wasn't big as it is easier to build, nowdays with big dies, chiplet is the best architecture.
The downside of chiplet is that the inter-connection between the chips are slower, harder to build and it's a PiTA to work with it, that's why until Ryzen 3000 you RAM and PCI-e speeds were limited as they saturated the Infinity Fabric which did the communication between the chips. Because Intel and NVidia doesn't have a lot of knowledge in chiplets, they will have the same problems in the future and probably will lose a lot of ground to AMD

Intel are getting into chiplets too. AMD's advantage there was never unique, chiplet design is essentially the same method used to make the very earliest dual core CPUs (which Intel tried to use against AMD, calling them "glued together"). Nvidia, to my knowledge, aren't doing chiplets, but their lead and market domination, particularly in machine learning and CUDA, makes them very difficult to challenge. AMD could put out a 4090 competitor at half price tomorrow, and they'd still struggle against the actual 4090 because it won't have native CUDA, and something like rocm-pytorch is not only a hassle to get running, it will hurt the performance. I run Stable Diffusion on my 6900XT, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a pain to set up. Meanwhile my old GTX1070 basically worked with it out of the box (and with performance nowhere near as bad as the silicon difference would suggest).
AMD GPUs are plenty competitive for video games, but they're behind for professional use, and that's the big moneymaker.

I agree. It's not like he or that he-she-whatever blob he calls a wife could realistically have sex.

They're a bit late tho but I think that one of the things that made intel to buy Altera was for things like that, so it won't take a lot of time to they catch up in that.
I agree, AMD should do like nvidia where in the past they used their engineers to push support to cuda on repositories, giving out graphics cards to developers and more. Open-CL is very similar to cuda, one cuda expert can work with open-cl without a lot of problems but because nvidia bankroll them, you see almost no support to it

It wasn’t even Intel processor, it just had to have one Intel product in the list. At the beginning I was expecting someone to do a top of the line AMD/3090 build with an Intel ssd as a secondary drive or something token to qualify.
-AMD tech upgrade will start with Adam, a writer, and Yvonne, which is being done for some "different" reason than nepotism but the rule with Intel was no upper management is allowed
-they avoid talking about Hogwart's while still jerking off over ChatGPT, which is interesting because they could have got goodboy Tranthony points for condemning it because they're leafs
-Linus went to Disneyland this week with the kids, which is why he also went by XQC's house to fix his computer
-they have LTT track suits, pose like suka blyat for the photo shoot, then later get called out for it and try to go "uh there's more to track suit culture than slavs" which is just Linus cucking on everything, just say yeah, so what
-Brandon left this week, one of the original employees and longtime cameraman. He had an intel upgrade if you don't remember who he was. He was competent in what he did but it seems odd he couldn't just offer more projects or better pay for a guy who was so loyal he was using his own camera equipment when they started.

AMD time to shine, I think, is in the next 4 to 6 years when they achieve 50% market share of the entire server market. They would have a lot more capital and money to burn to bolster their position in the GPU market. Intel and Nvidia seems to be plagued with useless middle managers that weren't smart enough to figure things out or respectable enough to be loved by the actual engineers, they probably could use some more job cuts.
Thread tax: while I dislike Linus, I don't hate him enough that I wish bad things upon his family, fuck his employee though, they're disgusting. I think he should learn a little more from Gamers Nexus or Hardware Unboxed; they don't seems to try to market Intel, AMD or Nvidia and understands that these companies are here for your money. Also, they should stop trying to make videos specifically made for kids and upload less. That's the least they could do to bring in young adults, which is the focus of every technology company, to spend more on their shit.

The kind of person to do that in the early days of a channel is also the kind of person with morals - Loyalty is one of them, which explains sticking around so long. I wouldn't be surprised to hear he was seeing some of the shit over the last year like the 'trust me bro' warranty, increasing use of employee labor to whip up a tech mansion as 'content' while berating people to produce more and more content, while Linus also tries to turn his select favorite employees into presenters over whatever they were hired for. He's expressed repeatedly that he wants to try and make them part of the face of the business, but seemingly only so he can pivot them off to more parallel content farming channels. Its not hard for someone to look at that and the other problems in the organization and go "wait a minute, I think this is kind of fucked up".
And once someone with morals realizes the situation is kind of fucked up, they're not liable to stick around just on a pay offer or more work offer. Wouldn't be surprised if dude pivoted off to making his own tech channel - He did it once with his own gear, and there's no shortage of demand for actually good content in the market.
