I don't know why people have an aversion to AMD's products tbh. Their CPUs are fine and their GPUs aren't overpriced chips touting how you can get fake AI frames to help with shitty AAA games being unoptimized bloated filesize garbage.
edit: Only reason I can think of is brand loyalty to novidya and Intel (lol, lmao) and being a snooty richfag who has to gloat about how he took out a small loan to pay for his Nvidia GPU.
It's kinda brand loyalty, but not exactly. For a long time Intel was the only CPU option worth considering. It wasn't until Ryzen and IIRC Zen 2 for people to realize that AMD is back in the game. Same thing with Nvidia, they are a de-facto monopoly on GPUs. Raytracing happened because Nvidia willed it. AI upscaling and framegen happened because Nvidia willed it. Radeon is stuck perpetually playing catch-up. Which would be fine if you don't care about this, but they also can't fucking price their shit.

their GPUs aren't overpriced
They kind of are (were 🌈) though. The difference isn't big enough to consider Radeon istead of Nvidia given the difference in support for coolest newest shiniest tech.

Funny part is AMD is in the lead in consoles and the like with APU. And as of recent years, EPYC processors started overtaking Xeon in servers because of better energy efficiency.

Anyway, Clio isn't streaming for once and now I have nothing to listen to while I work :pippasadl:

Yeah, the CPUs were dead for a while. The Athlon64 was the last good one until Ryzen, which finally put then back in the game.

The GPUs, from what I hear, are actually up to snuff - however, AMD also, from what I hear, haven't improved their driver situation, which has been a problem for their graphics cards since they were under ATI, and going back to the 90s.

I would really like it if they could get their shit together to give Nvidia some real competition. At this rate, Intel will beat them to the punch in the GPU sector.

Hime's spent the last decade reading every depraved fanfic she could get her hands on but she's actually a virgin.

I want to press X but the louder one is about sex the less they know about it. I'm conflicted.
As far as I know, her and Clio are literally the only undeniably, unambiguously confirmed non-virgins in Phase. Even Shiina's a less convincing case since we don't know how long she was actually with wonton-man.

What's Rie done that would actually confirm she isn't just talking big, but actually done, well, anything?
