| I agree that he's not that bad, but he's definitely not 100% accurate, in particular with respect to Intel. Notably this is about the 3rd time in 2 years that he's reported that the Intel dGPU efforts are being killed off. Even on the latest developments the reporting is contradictory, so someone is wrong and I suspect it's him. https://www.techpowerup.com/341149/intel-arc-gpus-remain-in-... |

| ▲ | gregbot 2 days ago | parent [-] | | So far everything he said in that video has happened and he did not say that intel would never release another dGPU just that it would be a token release which is absolutely exactly what has happened | | |
| ▲ | dralley 2 days ago | parent [-] | | IIRC the "token release" claim was more of a cleanup after the first and strongest version of his "reporting" didn't really pan out. IIRC he also said that there would be no gen 3 dGPU release after the "token" gen 2 dGPU release and that doesn't seem accurate if the gen 3 dGPU efforts still exist 2 years later, in order to be cancelled now. | | |

| They had videos saying intel was gonna cancel the dGPU division and focus on datacenter pretty much since the intel cards came out. Amongst many other things they've said. I used to follow them too, but they speak with too much confidence about things they know nothing about. They're a channel focused on leaks, but most of their leaks are just industry insider gossip masked as factual to farm clicks. Their leaks are useless for any sort of predictions, but may be interesting if you'd like to know what insiders are thinking. A quick google search also yielded this[1] 2-year old reddit thread that shows videos they deleted because their predictions were incorrect. There's probably many more. (That subreddit seems to be dedicated to trashing MLID.) [1] https://www.reddit.com/r/BustedSilicon/comments/yo9l2i/colle... |

| ▲ | gregbot 2 days ago | parent [-] | | > gossip masked as factual to farm clicks Instead of invectives could you just say what specific leak of his was inaccurate? Everything he said about intel dGPU has happened exactly as he said it would. Have you watched his video about that yourself? | | |
| ▲ | nodja 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Did you not look at the link I provided? I stopped watching him completely around the time of the intel dGPU release. He would show leaked roadmaps of intel's dGPU launch with Celestial and Druid on there, but the video would be him basically repeating the narrative that the division is on the verge of cancellation and has no future, etc. The documents he has leaked almost never match the titles and narratives he pushes. He's not always wrong, but his biases are clear and the titles are more often misleading clickbait than factual. Tom Petersen (Lead Intel GPU Engineer) has showed up on multiple interviews with LTT and GN among other tech channels and has talked at length the things his team did on the current gen, with heavy implications of what's coming up next (as far as he can without breaking NDA). His in depth analysis of GPU architecture are a much useful use of my time than listening to a guy that was given 2 leaked slides of a 6-month old powerpoint speculate how it spells doom for whatever company. If you think logically, it makes zero sense to cancel Celestial now. According to Petersen Arc's hardware team has been working on Druid for months now, and unless the software team is severely behind with the drivers and support then at the very least Celestial will receive a limited release. They already did a limited release of Battlemage to put more resources on Celestial, it would be a shame to throw all that effort away now. | | |
| ▲ | gregbot a day ago | parent [-] | | > Tom Petersen Thanks ill check him out. > limited release This is in line with what Tom said about discrete being “effectively cancelled” Im still interested in hearing what Tom has gotten wrong and i dont mean when intel’s plans change making his old reporting out of date. |

| Yeah all the videos I saw where he was right had 100% accuracy, which you'll be reminded of in the next video, the times he was wrong won't be advertised the same. |
| |
| ▲ | gregbot 2 days ago | parent [-] | | why dont you just say what he’s been wrong about? | | |
| ▲ | carlhjerpe 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Because I won't invest my time or money into rewatching every video, I don't get paid to be here. | | |
| ▲ | gregbot 2 days ago | parent [-] | | You replied to a comment that asked: > What has he been wrong about … | | |
| ▲ | carlhjerpe 2 days ago | parent [-] | | And I said he's been right about everything he's been right about, because that's the stuff you'll remember. |
