[News] AMD Vega 10 3DMark Fire Strike Results Surface

[Tim]

People have always been excited about new products and speculated about their features or performance, but things today are certainly different than they were ten years ago.

In what way exactly? In my opinion very little is different. lol it's really just the same as always, anyone remember '05-ish Charlie Demerjian and Fudo Abazovic articles at the Inquirer? I can name plenty more examples from mid to early noughties. In fact even late nineties there were plenty of crazy stories and rumours happening! Every week there was another story! Bitboys come to mind! 3Dfx vs nvidia blowing up with fanboys getting their knickers in a twist at every corner. nVidia vs ATI, S3, Rendition, PowerVR, crazy press conferences and mad freebie giveaways. Reviewers falling over themselves in excitement over the next T&L chip or DirectX 7 vs 8. Yeah sure we didn't have twitter back in the day but plenty of other media platforms were available. Been a hardware enthusiast since the early years of 3D acceleration and I've been frequenting forums since the very early noughties and I can remember things being quite similar as today.

Enthusiasts forget very very quickly. Every new release it baffles me how people go through the exact same cycle?
