Analyzing content on the forum for bias and reliability can be an important factor in determining the amount of trust you should give to an article, thread, or even a post. It all boils down to figuring out the difference between an opinion and fact in content. Fact and Opinion An opinion is a particular view or belief on a matter that cannot be verified. For example, stating that AMD's HD 7970 GHz outperforms nVidia's GTX 680 is an opinion.

For questions, comments, discussion and news updates about HSA, please see the forum thread in AMD General [LINK] Quote: At a time when cracks are appearing in Moore’s Law and the costs of shrinking fab processes continue to skyrocket, an industry that wants to keep accelerating compute capabilities must turn increasingly to optimizing efficiency.

Aside from fear, one of the excuses that I keep hearing from people as to why they don't want to build a computer is that it is expensive. They do their research online and get inspired by these stunningly beautiful computers, then they find out that they cost about two months paycheck and that's the end of it.

So where do you get cheaper parts? I am a cheapskate... read more

Originally posted (Christmas 2011) ...... After years of trying to like AMD's plucky 'do it on the cheap' attitude I finally came to a conclusion today... i don't think they can cut it. i have my own long story in slow understanding of this, which i won't bore you with, neither the clich'e of starting a thread to whine about AMD vs Intel. just to put it simply, I like Intels now. Intel's seem to do what I want, when I want, not be singing a wee song while doing the washing up. the little sparkler (candle) in my heart wants to defend AMD, but y'know... read more
