The ad for Minecraft Earth, reminds me of a cyberpunk novel, Spook Country, by William Gibson.

In the novel, there are layers of augmented reality where people have put their mark on the world with AR Dioramas scattered through-out the world. In the book, AR scenes might depict historical events, art, or information.

Based on revenue and flat growth, the company is worth about $4 a share. If it get's to that price I'll think about buying in, if and only if i think the company is going to turn it around.

I've made good money waiting for the time to be right before buying in. This stock is worthless above $8 a share.

Why not making money in the meantime going short?

I wonder if these two things are related

Anyone know when the Mobile Fiji, Polaris, Zen, Pascal hardware is coming out?

All but Pascal are only best guesses:

* Pascal will arrive with GTX 1080 end of this month, this is covered in OPs article

* Polaris is scheduled for summer/autumn, but as with Pascal the flagship models will come later

* Zen will be at the beginning 2017

* Mobile Fiji – no idea, have read nothing about

Edit: Just realizing that maybe you meant to prepend mobile to all of those?

Yeah, I basically want both the CPU and the GPU to be FinFET for a mobile laptop, that is VR ready/ Skylake + nvidia 970 or better.

Was Zen 2017? Last I saw had it dropping in October of 2016. I actually decided to hold off on an upgrade for it.

I'm not actually sure. It might very well be Q4 2016.

I love AMD and I'm rooting for them, but I'm not sure we are going to have another Athlon run here.

AMD is still having trouble beating out nVidia, and Intel. The Zen architecture could in theory have HBM for the system CPU/APU, but I'm guessing they won't.

Finally A lot of Intel performance comes from compiler optimization and design, and last time with Athlon it took years for that to roll out. Unless Zen is years ahead of Intel, I don't know if they will be able to edge that far ahead. Intel has been doing CPU-GPU pairs now for more than 5 years, and they are getting better.

I think for AMD to win this round, they would need to have a power ratio that allowed them to dominate the laptop space, with APUs and eliminate the GPU as a component, and right now AMD and Intel are both on 14nm, so I think it would be hard to win there, but we will see.

nVidia is on the 16nm process, so if AMDs chips are equal in performance, they might draw less power. However, for VR, nVidia has been working very closely on the software with the various companies and I think they will have a strong software advantage for a while.

For Zen, they don't have to be the best, just good enough. Frankly, for consumer Intel has been good enough since the 2600 days (except on the mobile front). So Zen should be fine in that market.

Good enough or, "we're #2!" might be all that's needed to chip off some server shares. Which is good for AMD. But for my machine I'm not sure I'd give up any single threaded performance for the promise of 8 physical cores with SandyBridge level IPC.

Maybe this is a good thing. Maybe, the community can take it back. It's unfortunate that it won't have a strong internal identity though.

My viewer says 4.3K

Sounds like age, size, density/mass, orbit/location
