LOL! Akitakoi is SO ANXIOUS! lol.....im still waiting for my e-mail congratulating me that i've won the laptop. lol.

Congrats on winning! (I dont think i'd be too thrilled to have my name all over the friggin world, lol) .. although...its interesting :)

Well, now we await for the little prizes, and one BIG ONE!!! :)

Do you get anything else? A free chip at least or will you have to buy one as a souvenir?

Are they asking for an interview?

How did they contact you?

Tell us the whole story please?

Wow, that's a lot of questions. I have been told that I will get a chip mounted on something so that I can hang it on the wall. They also said that they will want some video of pictures when I am presented with the chip, but that's it as of right now.

I got an email on Tuesday evening, which we didn't really believe. But then someone from Marden-Kane called, saying that they had been reading posted on this website and the email is real. Finally, after I sent back some paperwork, I talked to a guy from AMD, who asked for a few ideas. He did say that it would probably take a few weeks before the chips are started. Well that's all I know right now.

So they are watching this site.

Maybe "they" could give us an idea when the other winners will be notified?

Very exciting, Autter! Congrats! Keep us updated on the news coverage/pics/etc... I'm sure we'd all like to chronicle the ending to that part of VPG. :)

Congrats again, and wonderful job!

Yes, congrats Autter211, and our apologies. You're husband's emails earlier this week seemed, well, like maybe a prank, especially after 42Entertainment went through the trouble of adding clue after clue after clue, even after you won on Sunday.

Speaking of which, how did you come up with Ivy on Sunday? Did you actually find Hardee, MS and translate to Latin, or did you guess at some other clue?

Hey, it only twigged to me you had won afterreading this thread again this morning, you so laid back about it, cool. Well done and I'm glad it a Neo, good work. Keep us all upto date with what you put on it ! And on what chips its going on !

    • Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
