Interview With AMD's Desktop Processor Marketing Manager, Don Woligroski

[4960X]

In this exclusive interview with AMD's desktop processor marketing manager of desktop processors, we talk about AMD's current and upcoming products which include the Wraith cooler, upcoming APUs and Zen etc. Zen is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated AMD products that enthusiasts are waiting for because it is intended to compete against Intel's best x86 processors. AMD expects Zen to deliver about 40% higher performance per clock cycle than today's Bulldozer variants.

I'm so excited about Zen. I think AMD has a winner in their hands.

 

[TheRandomness]

Pleeeeaaaase be good. And reasonably priced. 

[Syntaxvgm]

I'm so excited I made a misleading marketing graph. 

Oh wait they beat me to it damn

@Syntaxvgm

Increments in 0.1. 40% diffrence between those two i don't see how is graph misleading. If you mean how big gap is so the difference looks like 4x perfomance I can understand that, but always look at numbers.

.....because it makes the gap look deceivingly big on first glance ...........lol. That's not visually representative of 40%, it's called truncating the Y axis....

You'd have to be retarded to let it "mislead" you.

[ZestyJalapeno]

That's some Class A smoke and mirrors stuff. Real obscure figures on the X-axis in small, non-contrasting font. They're not doing anything wrong, that's just what marketing is.

I just learned what truncating the y axis is, Mind giving me good example of comparisson of 2 cpu with same style of graph. I'll agree and say is not visually correct somewhat. But still i would not say that the graph is misleading, maybe only to people that dont read increments.

there's no real good example, I'm just making fun of hardware marketing. They all do it.

Thanks. 

Misleading graphs are OK cause you'd need to be retarded to fall for it, and if you are mentally retarded, you likely live in the US. Real classy.

I'm obviously joking, as there are tons of jokes about US citizens being stupid, a stereotype, you might say ;-;

Now to be serious, the graph obviously is designed to make people think that the relative performance increase is higher than it is in reality, but that's a common thing to do in marketing and is nothing to debate imo

Rofl, you needed to copy-paste that? I thought it's common knowledge for people to know the basics of WWII history

ROFL you are on the internet trolling behind your keyboard... NO WAY!?

[kmanchine]

@Syntaxvgm true that.

well anyways some graphs are really stupid.

Graph would look like this. But also when doing presentations in big hall you really need to enlarge picture for people to see it well, thats why it was cut down.

Well marketing is to make your product look better

[Prysin]

that was the most boring and uninteresting interview ever.

I'm glad there's someone actually talking about the interview.

 

The head of marketing you say? That's the guy who needs to step it up or be replaced by Nvidia's Marketing Director.

 

Read the Interview, really did contain nothing new that we didn't know from elsewhere. A shame.
