fed up by a decade in Nvidia's shadow
Most would say Radeon R790 TeraScale Architecture of (April 2009) overshadow GeForce 200 and then even more so Fermi (April 2010). GCN 1.0 Tahiti (January 2012) and then Kepler (March 2012) where very competitive, up until Maxwell arrival Sep 19th, 2014

At AMD you're polishing a decade-old technology
Tahiti was 2012, and even up until Hawaii (October 2013) verses Maxwell coming out a year later (Sept 2014) did Nvidia move out-front. While wasn't truly eclipsed (and competition waned in the high-end/Enthusiast segment) until the arrival Pascal finally in May of 2016. This is about the time AMD/RGT said they wouldn't be pursuing the Enthusiast Gaming segment, focusing resources in the Professional deep learning/HPC markets.

Get your history straight... noob

I'm looking forward to what this means to their IGP.
The tiny HD IGP is perfect for just providing the video signal (and also for it's hardware encoding abilities).

I agree.

I use a 5775C with a GTX 1080. The 1080 is only used for heavy tasks, the iG gets browsing/office use and video decoding. Also suitable for quick encoding and light gaming. It a pain to setup that way though.

Obviously, I didn't mean technology, but the market success. If you're an employee, you may have satisfaction because your product is advanced, but that's not enough to get you a salary.

And imagine the situation when you're working for AMD - the second largest CPU/GPU manufacturer with all this great tech... but then you ask some friends and they either don't know what AMD is or they thought AMD has been out of business for years. :)

Just based on this comment I'm pretty sure you have nothing interesting to say. :)
Having a nickname like mine is quite useful.

It's like if you're called "Dick" and some people make jokes when you meet them for the first time. You just know it'll be the last one as well. :)
