hoofhearted4 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I'm foreseeing something far Worst SOPA, ACTA and PIPA ever dreamed to be. Don't be surprised your pristine machine coming as hardware DRMed like Sony's machine, let's say a few hackers may still circumvent the earlier TC implementations, but do you still believe is not the "common" user the target? for this may be the end to ever be able to search the Internet for "solutions" for whatever abuse IP ideology and marketing models can and will invent.Is anyone else trying to figure out how this is related to the topic? Anyhow, I will am definitely done buying AMD. My next CPU (which i will by March) will be the i5 2500K and I don't care if it is outperformed by the 1100T in non-gaming platforms, because benchmarks say otherwise, and gaming is what I do. AMD brought this on themselves. Maybe later I will tell you all my latest experience with AMD and why I am no longer buying from them ever again. lol i was also wondering. i couldnt understand the paragraph to be honest. if your going to get a new CPU, you should wait and see the Ivy Bridges. hopefully they live up to their hype!

I could be wrong but maybe he is talking about the build up of "mini supercomputers" used by people mining bitcoins or trying to steal data. Once the "bad guys" have more computing power for folding than good guys they will have control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Industry What makes you think they are planning to DRM hardware? Besides that fact, we are talking about PC's, not handhelds. The only relation this thread has to handhelds is that AMD is supposedly moving to only work on them. Not Intel. So regardless of what bad business decision AMD makes the market will be fine, as someone else said if it were ever really as bad as the two of you think it is and those bills were passed people would be rioting. (On a side note it IS amazing to me how people reacted to the risk of their freedom of speech and expression being taken away, but when it comes to gun rights ((The very thing that enables us to have freedom of speech and expression)) people let those go without so much as a second thought.)

Korodic Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 It's a scary thought knowing Intel won't have competition... What will this mean for innovation? Why would they even want to innovate when they have no incentive or competition to make them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they even want to innovate when they have no incentive or competition to make them? IMO its not like the gaming companies really kept up with the latest and greatest breakthroughs of intel anyways. I think prices in part will stay close to where thay are now because of the competition from mobile gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
