Intel claims Core Ultra 200 patches improve gaming performance by up to 26% (Update: they don't)

This is Techspot's fault for allowing people to use DEI as a pejorative slur in these forums.

Doesn't DEI mean you're hiring individuals not because they are the best fit for the job, but just because they aren't white and male? Or to rephrase, that individuals are deemed to be the best fit for the job firstly because they aren't white and male? Isn't it a part of DEI principles to ensure a quota so that a workplace won't be entirely white and male, even if that means you won't have the best possible performing team as a result?

And before you assume anything, I'm of Southern Chinese descent and a resident of South East Asia.

It's weird. Even the word id1ot gets censored

That is the most ignorant post I’ve seen so far this year.
Jensen Huang is the co-founder of Nvidia. He also happens to be an electrical engineer .
Lisa Su is also an eletrical engineer, with a degree from MIT, and she’s been manager of several huge companies before taking over AMD in 2014.

You see two Asian faces and claim DEI, you’re in the wrong forum - probably room for you over at Truth Social, bring your tinfoil hat with you

Remember on Techspot you can say anything you want, but you can't call it out for what it is, that is what gets you banned. This site is sometimes as bad as wccftech.

Just because some people forget the /s after their comment shouldn’t get them banned… he did mention it afterwards… try and read the whole thread before getting angry?

You need to read the whole thread. My reply was sarcastic response to the clown think companies failed because of a DEI hired. It's calling out successful companies led by people of color or women of color.

My apologies then , good. This page is usually fueled by smart people - just triggers me when I see these ..many comments here and there with badly concealed racism popping up..more and more lately..not just here - but various tech sites.
The narrative is getting more and more scewed and there’s just so many people falling for things being written on «hi-jacked» platforms like X

 

[Puiu]

Tl;dr - they can't fix it with software updates.

 

[Watzupken]

I feel Intel should be careful not to squander their credibility/ goodwill. The Raptor Lake saga already took a big bite out of their customer’s trust, then now they came out with some lofty claim on performance numbers that nobody other than themselves can recreate. Every misstep they make just undermines the brand’s credibility/ trustworthiness.

 

[scavengerspc]

Never mind. The issue was resolved before I opened my big mouth!
Sorry all.

No, no, and no again.

Here's what happens without DEI: You want the "best" candidates out of college. Obviously, those are the candidates that come out of the best schools, so you interview "just" from those institutions. Of course, those schools are expensive, so only the most wealthy students can attend them. And as there's no mechanism for anyone else to get their foot in the door, you end up looking at candidates that are >95% white, to the exclusion of everyone else.

Likewise, within companies, the people who tend to advance are those who are either friends with the decision makers, or are able to take credit (rightly or wrongly) for success. In either case: This ends up favoring white male candidates to the exclusion of everyone else.

So what DEI tries to solve is to ensure that there is at least some minimal level of minority representation, since without it (and heck, even with it) they are not given the opportunity in the first place.

So crony old-wealth whites and DEI colours get in, while the high-performing meritocratic whites without old-wealth, charisma and contacts are sidelined? Seems like DEI is far from an effective solution if what you want is to battle old-wealth and cronyism.

It helps, in that it ensures you don't end up with an all (or disproportionally) white workforce. But yes, it's not the be-all-end-all solution. But it's better then the alternative. And it's not like the other side is offering any solutions either.

Take your nonsense to Orange Twitter, where it belongs.

DEI clown show.

100% .

DEI completely strips people of their individuality. Ideas don’t really matter as much as what the person speaking looks like.

♦ It’s completely antithetical to the core tenets of our Constitution and the American experiment.
It places an unhealthy emphasis on race.

♦ It strips people of their dignity and individualism , the things that define us .

♦ We need to return to the American idea—equality of opportunity, not certainty of outcome or so-called “equity.” And we need to prioritize merit over characteristics that people have no control over.

Thank the Lord that DEI is being disseminated in schools, the military, the mainstream media, and even our churches. It has already brainwashed and deliberately dumbed down our children in almost every school in our country (and around the world), pretty much gutted our military – making it one of hurt feelings rather than training for battles; our news – broadcast and print – are controlled for “mis” and “dis” information – feeding those listening/reading political correctness rather than reason, logic, and truth..

What does "DEI" have to do with this?

You people and your need to spank your monkey over "DEI"...

♦ We need to return to the American idea—equality of opportunity, not certainty of outcome or so-called “equity.” And we need to prioritize merit over characteristics that people have no control over.

Great in theory, but we have over 250 years of American history, and about 20,000 years of human history, all of which show this is an ideal that does *not* exist.

We see it over and over again: minorities get fewer job opportunities even when they have superior skillsets. Less likely to get promoted to upper-level positions. Given harsher punishments for lesser offenses. And so on.

Yes, the *ideal* is equality of opportunity, but it needs to be understood that is an ideal, and *not* reality.
