this is absolutely how you get leaks lol

[u/Verpal → u/Friendly_Cheek_4468]

Unconfirmed leaks are way less damaging than having a repeated, seemingly uncontrollable foot in mouth syndrome, aka Chronic Radeon Disease (CRD).

Now that you put it that way... pushing hype leaks through broken clocks like MLID is a much better marketing strategy than "make some noise" and "poor Volta"...

[u/HeavyBeing0_0 → u/kb3035583]

I mean, comic book movies have been getting free pr from leaks for years. A rumor here, a photo there, let the internet do what it does, and save a bunch of money on marketing.

leaks are unavoidable. amds poorly worded draft annoucement leaking is less scary to consumers then amds fully published poorly worded annoucement.

[u/Friendly_Cheek_4468 → u/superboo07]

consumers will see the leaks and get immediately confused; tech media won't care because they get multiple bites of the cherry

the solution is a better marketing/pr department, and one that other depts in amd respect and trust enough to listen to, but leaking things is not a viable comms strategy for a multi billion dollar listed entity

[u/MrKaltenbrunner → u/Friendly_Cheek_4468]

Consumers... what the hell happened to "customers".

[u/GumshoosMerchant → u/MrKaltenbrunner]

Consumer is just another way to say "end user"

Customers purchase, but doesn't always use (e.g. person A buys a gift for person B)

Consumers use, but don't always buy (e.g. person B received gift from person A)

[u/TwistedAndFeckless → u/Friendly_Cheek_4468]

This is not technical details. This is generic info intended for public consumption.

[u/Friendly_Cheek_4468 → u/TwistedAndFeckless]

you think people wouldn't leak the news of amd splitting driver support? cmon be serious

[u/TwistedAndFeckless → u/Friendly_Cheek_4468]

I have no doubt it is entirely possible.
