[TechFan@ic]

Jean-Christophe Baratault Nvidia's head of professional graphics, the man behind the success of the Quadro & Tesla line of graphics accelerators joined AMD.

Cool, maybe AMD will become more prominent on the professional market, along with their deal with Apple.

So next FirePro card is Quadro 4000?

So next FirePro card is Q4 200x?

FTFY

This information is of little importance to me as Quadro GPU's are too expensive and made for things that I know nothing about making them utterly useless and stupid and smelly.

[M-ursu]

FTFY

Wut?!

That's not what i said....

[Ookami]

Fight! Fight! Finally something interesting is happening in endless fight Nvidia vs AMD...

[Gunzkewl]

Wow

[Lukiose]

AMD's version of a 20nm 'GK110 equivalent chip' down the line possibly? Interesting

[DarkEcho]

Well let's be honest.. where else was he gonna go?

Intel!

Hey wait a minute, this guy is French! I didn't know you could be an nvidia engineer in France. I would love to be one as well

Why is it when an Nvidia employee leaves to go to AMD, we get his full name, birth certificate, resumé and favourite colour of socks, while in the opposite case it's just "some guys".

 

Makes me think one of the companies is a little "looser" with their personnel doctrines... As if they considered it... Marketing

Well it's because AMD very rarely lets go of its big name employees, so we rarely hear about a big name jumping ship from AMD to Nvidia.

No-where, we expected him to stay at Nvidia.

After all you'd expect a company like Nvidia would offer him enough incentive to stay, apparently not.

Maybe because it was some no name guys? I dunno.

Just so everyone knows AMD's stock has been going down for the past 4 days. I don't know when it will level off but it was at $4 and know it's gone down to £3.2 ish. Hopefully it will go back to £4 at some point but who knows. 

[Lukiose]

Probably due to nvidia conference & 780ti.

We'll see how things go after the 290X tomorrow! Pricing is make or break

It affects you because of the trickle down effect. New technologies are always going to be on professional level cards before consumer cards.
