On the docket this evening we recap the AMD live event, and examine the details of the multiple RX 6000 GPU announcements, seemingly rivaling and topping(!) the recent performance levels set by Nvidia’s 30 series. Impressive, and we’re looking forward to testing these new cards. Swerve over to the AMD Xilinx acquisition and AMD’s great quarter – some might say it was Epyc. Har! Also in this show:...
