[AMD @ Computex] "So Far Ahead Of Its Time That We're Launching It At The Edge Of Space"

[MattDaemontools]

 

A new cryptic site has been doing the rounds, everybody loves these kind of cryptic launches right? right? no? Oh well, let's see what we can find out from this one... ifitcanreachspace.com

Whatever it is, it launches from the edge of space and in 7 days time. If you ask Google about it, it seems to think that yesterday the title of the site was "AMD" a rookie mistake or little intended snippet? today the title has been removed. Then there's the unmistakeable Klavika font, AMD's new choice font for marketing materials. For us that's case settled. But what are AMD launching in 7 days? and from the edge of space no less! Once we find out we'll let you know!

Not with amd gonna be watching apple on June 2nd WWDC event. Might fit it in my schedule

[WiiManic]

Wonder what it could be. Should be interesting either way.

 

The pic at the back reminds me of the house/balloons from UP... Maybe thats related. _{^{probably not.}}

I hope it's Space Core.

I must be easily amused or something because, i always get really excited when companies do this kind of thing. Even though last time it was "low power mobile chips" and that was less than groundbreaking. haha

In before quantum computing

[wilbso]

So much to fit in my schedule. Hoping it will be worth watching though.

I'm betting on some sort of tablet.

I don't like this type of marketing campaign because companies always claim they are revolutionizing their industry and usually the announcement is completely lackluster. I do hope this one turns out differently, history just tells us it won't.

Exactly my thought, that's why I don't get excited.

[Warcony]

Well it'll be something that has an "up to 60% performance increase over "

[geogga]

A GPU? Get it? Because as it falls from space it gets super hot like a meteoroid?

Hahahahaahahahahahah you're funny geogga

[totjup5]

I want an AMD spaceship 

[Kamina]

Maybe it's a new type of cloud service called Nebula. 

[NInety]

I want an AMD spaceship 

Why? All the power would be drained from the hydrogen cells and it would be overheated.

[MetEishYa]

Its probably a new cpu that needs the 0K space temps to cool the sucker.

[matin94]

do u think this will be their equivalent of the GPU 780ti?

[mr moose]

Unless it's an FTL drive who cares?

You must be fun at parties

Could be a new GPU with the rumored stacked DRAM.

[ACatWithThumbs]

Could be a new GPU with the rumored stacked DRAM.

Imagine a 20nm GPU with shared virtual memory and stacked DRAM

That would make Nvidia cry

[ivhyn]

That would make Nvidia cry

Me too

[Fetzie]

Imagine a 20nm GPU with shared virtual memory and stacked DRAM

That would make Nvidia cry

 

That would be out of this world!
