I dont get your Point lilhasselhoffer.
What i know is when AMD don't give you a Card for reviewing then the reviewer didn't thread amd good.
So whats your opinion now why Techpowerup don't get a Card from AMD? Are they realy so indipendend like they want to let you know?
At this point, I've got one of two responses. My first is that there seems to be some sort of language barrier. Whether this barrier is a lack of cognitive function, or English as a second language, I can't say. You've yet to complete a sentence that doesn't make a third grade English teacher cry.
The second possibility is you are genuinely an idiot. The act of explaining this to you is a fruitless effort, because you lack the ability to grasp this new concept. In this case, continuing to talk to you is fruitless for everyone.
I'm going to, against my better judgement, assume its language. Maybe this time, assuming nothing, you'll get it.
This is not a situation where AMD is favoring review sites.
This is not a situation where there are physically no available hardware devices, though the supply does seem to be very limited.
This is not a situation where reviews are being done to demonstrate the truth behind the claims of a company.
What we have here is AMD trying to control a message. They are trying to sell a product, prior to the factual claims being verified. They are doing so by sending cards to uninformed consumers, who will sell the card based upon a coolness factor rather than actual performance. This type of crap bites people in the butt. You sell your product on cool, and when performance is demonstrated to be poor you lose future sales.
If you'd like some examples, let's go to the movies for a moment.
1) Have you ever watched an Uwe Boll movie? Having watched one, would you see another? Knowing that they all suck, how do Uwe Boll movies always have critics giving them praise on the cover? Would you pay to see the next one?
2) Have you watched Battlefield Earth? That movie was once something that garnered positive reviews, from the church of scientology (intentional lower case there, they are a cult and don't deserve a proper noun).
3) Have you seen any Happy Madison movies (it's Adam Sandler's production studio) recently? Let's focus on only the most recent abomination, Pixels. That movie was panned by so many critics, and Rotten Tomatoes has it at 17%. Would you go see that movie, knowing that 83% of people didn't like it? It did have a great premise, even if cribbed directly from Futurama.
4) Let's pose another question, Sony continues to sell Fantastic Four movies to the population. They constantly are sold on CG, yet Fant4stic has a rotten tomatoes score of just 9%. Knowing that, would you spend money on that movie?
Allow me to put this simply. AMD is not snubbing TPU, AMD is cutting its own nose off, to spite its face. They may squeeze some sales out of the Nano before it is found to be lacking, but be real. The people who buy the Nano will be angry that they spent that much money, and got second rate performance. Next time they buy a GPU they'll overlook AMD entirely, because they are still angry with them. You get one card sale today, and loose that customer forever for it. AMD is waging a PR war, in which every "success" will cost them a bit more of their future. Thankfully, HBM1 is in limited supply. Maybe AMD can hobble along without 8 toes, but if they intend to do anything more than just survive this activity must be stopped.
