Microsoft reportedly overhauling the Windows 10 UI in 21H2
kopsarchidis and 12 others reacted to MS Bob 11 for a topic
Uh..oh! UI overhaul ! When have they done that right? Windows 95 was the last time. After that they got refinements right, not overhauls. "Improvements to File Explorer, Taskbar and Start built with modern code are expected". Uh..oh. I am scared.13 points -

Horrid person, a disgrace of a human being, and I am getting fed up with hearing his voice on the radio, and I am in the U.K., so god know what people in the u.S thinks. you be crazy to have him in power for another 4 years, it is bad enough that we have Boris in power for a few more years. but then the U.K. and U.s do not have democracy, both of our voting systems is rubbish and about as much use as a bucket with a hole in it.7 points -

Microsoft says Xbox Series X and S will leverage "full" RDNA 2 capabilities
AsherGZ and 3 others reacted to Mobius Enigma for a topic
" PlayStation 5 also features a custom RDNA 2 architecture-based GPU" You might want to source this fully, as the last engineering level details show that PS5 is RDNA 1, with some RDNA 2 features, and some Sony features where they went a different direction than AMD and Microsoft. (Which could help or hurt.) I haven't been able to find any public information confirming what is there and what isn't, only dev information, and it isn't the best source, as they often don't have the perspective the architecture and framework. It is possible Sony has some good stuff in their differences, if they exist. However to obtain feature parity even with identical hardware features, the Sony framework would have to support them, which so far, we haven't seen much at all. Just like DirectStorage, Sony uses a different technology, with reduced compression and more CPU utilization, unless they have improved this recently.4 points -

Anything that can be used as a selling point for any product can be considered a gimmick. Why go to the gym when you can go out to wilderness and lift rocks? Is it because the gym is more convenient? That sounds like a gimmick. It doesn't invalidate its existence, though.4 points -

Makes sense since they brought back a few of the old Halo devs, I don't know what happened exactly but oh well. Probably as simple as over-promising and underdelivering, which never works out. Or we're reading too much into it and he's got nothing else to do on the game and is moving on to something new. We need some more context/details.2 points -

AMD introduces the Radeon RX 6000 series of GPUs
Tantawi and one other reacted to Mobius Enigma for a topic
Impressive. Funny Side Note: Several of the 'key' technologies AMD is using and has tech reviewers salivating are from Microsoft. AMD is loving the work Microsoft has been doing and handing back to them. I hope they are generous with the cost to Microsoft. The Ryzen Mobile 4xxx series got a massive boost from Microsoft changes and instruction optimizations, which is why we see the 4000 mobile CPUs technically beating their desktop counterparts. The upcoming 5000 also employs key hardware design and instruction optimizations from Microsoft, which if the numbers hold, seem to be an Intel stomper. (Which makes me wonder if Intel yet regrets being such dicks to Microsoft for the past 30 years.) The one GPU feature that makes this a bit funny, is the Infinity Cache. This is exactly what the Xbox One did to improve memory bandwidth, making most operations (when used) faster than the PS4, even with the slower GDDR5 general RAM pool. AMD's silicon and features look really strong, and having accelerated ray tracing enabled in every CU could be a massive screw you to NVidia. I am anxious to see this in operation, especially with 3D design and rendering software where NVidia has been kicking butt. This is a good time for competition and new technologies and performance, something the CPU/GPU industry has not seen for over a decade now. For all the crap of 2020, maybe this is a silver lining for tech enthusiasts. Or at least something to focus on, while eating old food bank cheese and burying our loved ones. (Which I wish was more a joke, and less of a reality for many of us.)2 points -
Microsoft reportedly overhauling the Windows 10 UI in 21H2
matthiew and one other reacted to George P for a topic
I don't know if you'd call the changes in Vista and later in 7 as just refinements. Windows 7 was actually a overhaul IMO. Whole new taskbar was a big thing back then. XP had a whole new start menu which was a big deal at the time as well. It's come in chunks every now and then.2 points -

They spent five years fixing Windows 10's UI (from the disastrous Windows 8 tablet Metro UI era). I just hope this new UI will be a bit refined from the development stage. I mean we still have to use the classic Control Panel for some things.2 points -

Dutchie64 and one other reacted to NXTwoThou for a topic
It's not quite as bad of a mistake as it was when it first came out, but as MS Bob says above, I'm scared! Sure hope they don't go with something as stupid as Windows 8/8.1 stuff though. I only know 1 person who ever had that mess on their computer and every time I look at it, I wonder what do I click to get any where! I think I have them talked into letting me upgrade their computer to Windows 10 now though. I got a tablet with windows 8(Dell Venue 8 Pro) and it was absolutely fantastic for me. Well thought out from a tablet perspective. 5 years of windows 10 and we're still not even remotely back to how friendly and smooth windows 8 was with touch interaction. Why Windows 10 didn't simply return the 7 start menu with the 8 interface as an optional switch I'll never know. Honestly, 8.1 went backwards a bit from 8.2 points -

Yeah, I could be the biggest Play Station fan boy ever but that huge, monstrous PS5 could not go in my living room. luckily for Sony, this does not seem to really affect the real world demand one bit, so clearly people who care how it looks are minority True, heck even shipping a console with less graphics features running around 70% the speed of the Xbox hasn't given customers pause.2 points -

AMD introduces the Radeon RX 6000 series of GPUs
MateerL reacted to Neonix1 for a topic
Yup. I'm not a fan of either brand, but I have several programs that have excellent CUDA accelleration "that just works". Also, Nvidia's NVenc video encoder is excellent in quality and speed for anyone that does video encoding or streaming. These features are more important to me than pure rasterization (gaming) performance. And sadly AMD didn't say anything about these types of features.1 point -

Microsoft reportedly overhauling the Windows 10 UI in 21H2
MS Bob 11 reacted to SystemX2 for a topic
I agree with your points, but the big problem is that Microsoft abandoned all Win32 UI after Vista (or Win7 if you want to include the scenic ribbon) and has never recovered. The first stage was WPF (which I admit is lovely, but defaults to inconsistency), then WinRT, and then UWP. Meanwhile, no one could be bothered with all the problems of these new frameworks, and did their own thing to make their software appear modern... including Microsoft themselves. That's why Windows 10 is so inconsistent, there's no platform changes so they end up writing their own UI, like everyone else. Over at Microsoft, they'll cite WinUI 3 as fixing all this, meanwhile they ignore key issues with what they're demonstrating (just like the prior frameworks), or they'll cite compatibility as the problem, despite manifests and Windows having one of the most sophisticated compatibility layers ever devised. Personally, I think I'll start believing any of this when MDI windows get some theming beyond Aero Lite :-P1 point -

AMD announces record Q3 2020 earnings, revenue up 45% to $2.8 billion
dustojnikhummer reacted to Abhay V for a topic
There are figures for net income as well, in the article. And we also link to their financial report for more clarity on the earnings per share, profits, operating losses, and more. We use "earnings" to refer to the overall financial report, a language that many people not familiar with the different financial terms understand. For people who get the financial terms, there are GAAP and non-GAAP tables and much more in AMD's release that we link to. The aim is not to differentiate between Intel and AMD's numbers, or even imply that Intel is doomed. Intel's growth YoY and QoQ slowed down, with YoY figures being lower, which is just a statement about their financials. It is known that Intel is a much larger company, so I am sorry if I don't understand where the criticism is, here. Thanks for the feedback.1 point -
