🧵1/2 - With the holidays & CES, some may have missed the sad news that tech lost the legendary Gordon Mah Ung to cancer at age 58 right before XMAS. Gordon covered us for 25 years, & wrote more kind words about Falcon than anyone. Here's one of his early videos, on PBS in 2001:

🧵2/2 - We wouldn't be where we are today without him. But Gordon didn't just leave a hole in the industry. Gordon leaves behind a wife and two young children that could use your help. A GoFundMe has been set up to help them. If you're able to donate: gofundme.com/f/join-us-in-s…

Radeon 9000 series hardware and software are looking great and we are planning to have a wide assortment of cards available globally.  Can’t wait for gamers to get their hands on the cards when they go on sale in March!

This is a fantastic breakdown of historical performance gains/value of Nvidia's xx80 GPUs. It really drives home how historically poor the 5080 is as an 'upgrade' over its predecessor(s)

HUGE respect for Roman Hartung 's testing, but we're not seeing anything like his setup's results. We tested many 5090 Founder's builds with multiple PSU & cable types undergoing days of closed chassis burn-in. Temps (images in F) & amperages on all 12 wires are nominal.
