Yeah, it's clearly worded to take advantage of people who don't know much about tech, and thus won't understand that the Ryzen chips being based off older tech isn't inherently bad. Quite gross. 

This isnt the first time Intel has taken a smear campaign tactic to competition. Anyone remembered "glues together CPU dies"?
 
https://www.pcgamer.com/intel-slide-criticizes-amd-for-using-glued-together-dies-in-epyc-processors/
 

The sad reality is that AMD only stays ahead of the game by using the latest and greatest fabrication, while also doing gimmicks like 3D v-cache.
 
If Intel decided to make a generation of CPUs on TSMC 5nm, it would be a blood bath. 
 
Yeah, smear campaigns are dumb, but Zen2 still lives on today in the Steam Deck's SoC on 6nm. It's still a great architecture.

AMD literally isnt being misleading to consumers
Consumers care about two things, is the product new (as in support and IO)
and performance. HOW the performance is achieved does NOT mater. 

The fact that NEW die shrunk zen 2 chips exist at the bottom of the product stack is perfect for price performance and support and modern IO. 

Its not like new bottom stack chips dont perform worse then previous top end chips or anything. And the fact that intel is lying about what sticker will be on the product is wild. Just like how intel stickers change when you use a core i3 vs a Pentium, AMD has the same thing going on when you look at 7040 laptops and 7020 laptops

If intel wants to claim their pentiums are faster then the 7020 series at the same wattage, so be it. they dont have to intentionally mislead about it to market that fact. 
Again, its not confusing. because HOW something is done for a consumer does not mater, its that its being done. 

I've had Ryzen since day 1 in 2017, a 1700X, followed by 3700X, a laptop with a 4500U and now a 5800X3D. Despite appearances I'm not team anything, I just buy what's best in my budget at the time.
 
The AMD naming scheme for their 7000 laptops is BS. It's very misleading because people have been trained to look for the series by the thousand. It was bad enough when you'd have the likes of the 3400G being Zen+ instead of Zen 2, but we're now talking about several generations of hardware difference in expectation.
 
With that said, Intel are on shaky ground considering their intended naming scheme for their next gen of processors, and changing their fab processes names to match TSMC. 10nm to Intel 7 for example.
 
It's all designed to be confusing. We're in some of the best time for consumer processors in years, and deceptive naming like this just creates confusion.

Part of my point was that even with the smaller reticle size, the majority of consumer tier GPUs would still fit within that. Only the top tier part would exceed it and require further effort. Given their typical pricing, I think they can afford that.
 

Okay but Blackwell is a strong architecture name. 

My comment was rhetorical.
 

Just to maintain context, here's the line in question 
 
I review / edit every TL/GL script. Jessica wrote this line, and I approved it. I can understand why someone might take issue with it. It might give someone the impression that Adam D'Angelo is gay. If he's not(after a few minutes looking online I couldn't find any info about this), then it could, potentially, offend Adam himself or other members of the gay community. 
 
But while the word "twink" usually refers to someone who is gay, it's often been used, for comedic purposes, to refer to non-gay-men who would otherwise qualify. I'm definitely more familiar with gay comedy tropes than the average straight-white-cis-heteronormative-etc-male, and I am 97% confident that calling a possibly-straight person a "twink" as a joke is fine.
 
As evidenced by the division in this thread, I don't think think it's a given that using the term in this way, comedically, is widely viewed as derogatory. It's certainly not an insult - just a descriptive term, like "redhead". 
 
BUT - If you don't find this funny, well, that's absolutely fine! Comedy is subjective. 

Not particularly. A bit off color as far as LMG videos go, but I wouldn't say I'm personally offended.

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion.

I'm all for twink leadership, that's the #1 quality of a good leader

Are you ready for peak twink?

Absolutely

Is there a point of relevance to this? [asking for a friend]

Gay can be but it’s not used that way commonly anymore by most people, it’s easier to read the tone than in the past. Still should avoid joking with it without knowing your audience 
 
twink historicaly is rare to be found used in a derogatory manner, because you have to know lgbt culture to know the term and at that point you are unlikely to be homophonic.

It's definitely not a slur or inherently derogatory, but it doesn't seem like something you should call someone who isn't opebly gay nor close to you. 
 
Like, if Riley where to call Linus a "little otter bottom", while it would certainly raise some eyebrows, but wouldn't be derogatory presay. It seems odd to call a tech exec. that same thing.

Did it? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of it being a derogatory term.

Appears Casetify has finally removed the 'inside out' collection from their site, which displays some degree of guilt on their behalf.

more competition = more good. even if it is only in the extremely highest end data-centre hardware

I've been watching too much LTT, I totally thought you were going "you know what isn't hard to keep track of, our sponsor, Pulseway.  Keep track of your network.....".

Yknow just for that I'm firing up more hardware

So many spectrums for me, autism, lgbt, mental health, human... 
 
It's hard to keep track, but you know what isn't hard to keep track of... @TVwazhere and his performance during the event
