    Ryzen is produced by amd, why are we not allowed to append it to the ‘amd’ file?

      I shouldn’t be surprised that most here don’t seem to realise that’s not a ‘greater than’ sign, and at the very least its function is similar to ↹

    Wrong. Ryzen >> amd = 0. The string “amd” is 6384996, when interpreted as a decimal. Right shifting by that many digits turns Ryzen (0101001001111001011110100110010101101110) into 0.

    Maybe they mean ATI and are misremembering Radeon? Granted it’s been well over a decade, but I could see someone saying it anyways. For a long time, ATI cards were better than what was coming out of the merger (not literally because generational gains, but by relative comparison).

    Probably more like they don’t realize Ryzen is AMD’s new line, which is definitely better than the hilarious fail that was Bulldozer and prior.

      Yeah, though I would say there is no need for the extra step of ATI.

      Specifically due to value, though Ryzen was a better value when it started (pricing more Intel-like as soon as Ryzen became successful). Well… a Ryzen APU might still be better value at ultra-low-end compared to a new GPU, though probably better off with a used Polaris GPU.

      To me it just seems like GPUs are still stagnated due to cryptomining, though gaming and raytracing hype probably doesn’t help either.
