That kid has serious swagger, real stand user energy

As I understand it Dreadwolf is like Andromeda in that it's the same universe but not a continuation of the story, or even tightly related. But I can't say I've followed it too closely. As such there's no rush to get a Legendary edition out before it. I'd plan it for 2-3 years or so after Dreadwolf to keep the franchise in people's minds.

They did for Mass Effect with Legendary edition so maybe

Personally less time to game sadly doesn't mean less willingness to buy games, if my games libraries are any indication...

Sure, but at least they should have chosen a better timing and not call out the increase in admissions to doctors programs. Since they did the government has support in revoking licenses, something they never would have if the protest was only against the working conditions. As it is now they're protesting something that has been put forth as a solution.

Yepp, 117 billion estimated total humans born ever and about 8 billion alive today.

If you train AI models then you probably rely on CUDA and you're really left without any meaningful choice. It also wouldn't matter if AMD jumped 100% on AI even 5 years ago because CUDA has been so intensely adopted by the industry and AMD would need to do something completely novel and extremely impressive to have any chance of making a meaningful dent in just 5 years time.

As such I don't really blame you, as I said in my above post as well. I blame the gamers, the people that don't use CUDA and just play video games, the people complaining about how expensive GPUs have become while still fucking buying nVidia cards. The fact that AMD can deliver a product that costs less at the same performance point (without RT) is pretty impressive given their miniscule volumes compared to nVidia.

Yeah interesting thought there actually. In absolute numbers I wager more people believe in mythical beings of some form today in Europe than the 1700s. But as a share of the total population it's going to be a lot lower, of course.

We're talking about a demo here...

Since XeSS can run on AMD cards I feel that point is a bit moot. Further the best Intel can offer (in discrete GPUs) is miles and miles behind AMD even. As for Price / Performance the 6600 XT is neck and neck with the ARC 770 at basically the same price, depending on card and the day. Where I'm at the 6600 XT is generally the cheaper one. And that's not even talking about the 7600 XT which demolishes the ARC 770 at also the same price point...

Nothing, rumor wise even, is indicating Intel will bring anything to the table to challenge 4070 or up.

To sum it up in my opinion it really is only the ARC 380 that I've been impressed by. Very cheap card with excellent server performance for stuff like Jellyfin. But for gaming? No AMD is by far the better option from a value perspective.

As for laptops it's not that AMD doesn't make the chips, the laptop makers know consumers want the Nvidia part.
