      I’m still trying to understand what I just watched lol…I mean the idea of A.I machines sounds good on paper but I have yet to see anything “tangible”

    This “personal ai” is real bs. Nvidia bug bit AMD. /s

    • @BrokenFuse

      September 4, 2026 at 2:19 pm

      They’re direct competitors. AMD jumped in as soon as Nvidia did.

    • @Strange_err

      September 4, 2026 at 2:25 pm

      Yep that’s the usual. Follow the crap is the name of the game unavoidably.

    • @SMASHSESSION

      @BrokenFuselol they are family they cant be that competitive

  5. @quincyjones725

    We aren’t paying for any of that! And it’s just the beginning! We’re just getting started!

    I was thinking when we will see hbm memory in personal computer and here it is we have 576gb hbm3e. We will see more in future for sure arround 50gb to 100gb is sweet spot I think.

    Do they think masses want the majority of their pc performance and ram usage to be dedicated to AI?

  11. @kwabenaoppong1269

    Apple M5 max… hold my beer 🍺

  12. @JourneyStand

    September 4, 2026 at 5:50 pm

    How about you give us affordable and competetive GPUs . Without the crazy price hicks

  13. @igormarcos687

    September 4, 2026 at 5:59 pm

    There is no personal agentic AI if there is no RAM for personal usage. Shame on AMD for following nvidia and their anticonsumer practices.

  14. @christopherlovett3119

    September 4, 2026 at 6:20 pm

    Hopefully AMD doesn’t start over hyping their products, acting as if they’re almost sentient, like other tech CEO’s and news media. Open source models running on local machines can help professionals be more productive if used correctly.

    Still nothing on CUDA?

    September 4, 2026 at 6:54 pm

    Hardware is not the bottleneck. Software is. Fix that.

  17. @Terrylovesjougurt

    September 4, 2026 at 7:05 pm

    Where’s the promised Redstone suit? AMD like NV really likes to sell something on promises alone and then either underdeliver or not deliver at all.

  18. @homeape.

    wow, this was incredibly boring
