Intel has reportedly signed a deal with AMD to license Radeon graphics

[RedRaider]

Meh.

Apparently it isn't so "meh" because if it was "meh" you wouldn't be replying. So your actions betray your words.

 

[RedRaider]

Nvidia is screwed.

Yeah, because Nvidia has nothing in regards to integrating graphics with a CPU while AMD does.

AMD: we need your Hyper Threading but you needs our GFX lol

Maybe Intel talked with NVIDIA for GFX but they offered high prices

Or maybe is another thing

Instruction Sets

Or as Forbes has basically said, it means nothing more than a cross licensing deal to avoid any patent infringement. Time will tell.

Nvidia isn't nor has it been worried about AMD for a long time, this wont be changing anything.

Also free sync don't work with Nvidia cards so there's no point in that convo.
G sync at some point will just be software based, Nvidia is just milking all it can out of it. That's been known for years. In case people didn't know, g sync has been software based for laptops for awhile now.

I know free sync doesn't work with Nvidia cards I bought my monitor with free sync because it was an Acer 1440p 1ms at a very reasonable price compared to the overpriced Asus monitors here in Australia. Picture quality was great features were good and very easy to set up.

Hold your horses now, Didn't AMD have a driver issue this year that was frying motherboards? I've gotta agree that Nvidia drivers have been a bit down recently, Flickering and issues with Flash, GeForce Experience overhaul etc... But calling them outright better (or worse) is rubbish, they're about as bad as each other right now.

I do hope AMD make a come back to the 1080 or soon to be 1080Ti. Lack of competition is letting Nvidia run wild with the prices at the moment.

Grrr GeForce Experience... my current beef with NVIDIA.

lol hyperthreading... no-one needs hyperthreading.

Okay :V then AMD needs Intel's Money, me Too loll

It should be interesting to see if AMD's own version of Hyper-Threading is any better. It would be pretty awesome if they were finally able to take a single thread and actually run it on multiple cores without prior optimization. Intel's Hyper-Threading has been around for some time now and has always been very situational and disappointing.

Intel's SMT "Hyper Threading" always lost 30-40% performance per thread compared yo native cores but AMD's could do the same because of is its first time using a SMT tecnology and first time on 14nm Fin-Fet for CPU, other thing is frequency since AMD is self-limitating to 95 Watts is very hard get high frequencies on 6/8 Core Models even without iGFX, on-chip controllers are other limitation and Zen Core's has more than double transistors than Vishera (Piledriver), AMD will limit first 4/6 Core designs under 8 Core designs frequencies to sell the more expensive models (maybe 350-450 USD at launch)
