https://www.overclock3d.net/news/gpu_displays/amd_reports_theft_of_its_graphics_ip/1 AMD has confirmed that some of its graphics IP has been stolen by an unknown 3rd party, some of which were made available online, albeit temporarily. These files are said to be related to a subset of AMD's current and future graphics products, though these files are said to not be core to AMD's competitiveness. In a public statement, AMD has confirmed that other files are in the possession of the thief, but that these files are not critical to the security of their Radeon lineup. That said, it is concerning that a thief was able to steal confidential AMD files in the first place. The files are limited to AMD's graphics IP, which means that AMD's Ryzen and EPYC processors are unaffected by the theft. AMD has also confirmed that they are working with law enforcement to find the perpetrator of this IP theft. At this time, it is unknown what files were stolen from AMD's graphics division. Hopefully AMD will build up their internal security due to this theft

Well, sounds like someone is awful concerned about what they were going to release. I highly doubt hes just some random guy playing games to see if he can get in. Someone that good is usually found and paid by corps, rich individuals or nation states. Amazing timing with all thats going on internationally and business wise.

So you admit the hippie hype😸

T hose who abuse power, are nothing but scumbags! The challenge of power is how to use it and not abuse it. The abuse of power that seems to create the most unhappiness is when a person uses personal power to get ahead without regards to the welfare of others, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way. Affiliate Code: 3T15O1S07G

Well, considering how many former Radeon architects are now at Intel, maybe that has something to do with it.
