"Snowy Owl" and "Horned Owl," etc., are temporary codenames AMD uses on upcoming products to pinpoint source of leaks.

Epyc 3000 are Snowy Owl and Ryzen V series is Great Horned Owl.

Man I wish they would make a socketed version of those 3000 series Epycs...

"Casino gaming". I think they missed a B and an L there.

Then again, like any predatory business I suppose casino operators don't enjoy being reminded that their main function is harming people. Oh well. Gotta care for the poor casino owners, I guess.

His point was that Gambling is what Casino's operate in, not so much gaming. That also mertis the point that gambling is not gaming (even Loot Boxes are classed as gambling by some).

Yeah, call it how it is. I agree @Valantar

Yeah morally accepted or not, there are alot of 'games' converted into slots. The loot stuff actually comes from that same principe. Pay to play. These slots are generic X86/X64 machines with usually Linux and all that. Tapping into that market for AMD is a great chance to get a greater grip into anyday market. Just as nvidia is working big on automotive, amd is trying to make products that would sell in almost any space there is. It's business.

All states/municipalities I've been in have considered gambling (whether lotteries, slots, cards, horse races, dog races, etc.) as a form of gaming. Funny thing is that in some states; arcades, crane/prize games, and similar are considered as 'amusement' and not 'games', since they don't (usually) pay out cash prizes. Go figure.

Even gasstations without an attendent and only way to pay is by card, is runned by embedded machines / consoles. AMD offers a very good & fast sollution for this.

Here in Norway the term is 'pengespill', which directly translates to 'money games'. I'd call that a fitting description, as the possibility of winning cash isn't really the defining feature, but rather the pay-to-play nature of it all. Still, "Casino gaming" is quite the euphemism, as "playing games" is not what casinos exist for, nor what people seek them out for. The answer to both of those questions is "gambling".

As for legal definitions, I suppose that stems from this first being put into law in a time when these were the only publicly available forms of game play outside of non-gambling card games and a scant few board games. An interesting historical artifact, if nothing else.

As for the embedded X86 market for slot machines and other somewhat graphically intensive applications, my impression is that AMD has pretty much owned this market for years already.

See above. If you somehow read my post as me saying "this isn't a market worth selling to", you need to check your glasses or some such.
