thats all quite cool stuff that AMD is doing! i think it'd easy for us enthusiasts to forget the rest of the users out there who really do want their machines to "just run it"

my dad belongs in that category :D i'm sure he'll be glad to hear of this new bit of tech. i'm curious to see if they're going to up the ante for the higher end users. can you imagine just 1 board and 1 card adding up to 1 board plus 2 full fledged GPUs?

in conclusion: me likey :)
Cyberpower generic case
B450M PRO-VDH MAX
Ryzen 5 3600 w/PBO/OC
CM Hyper 212 EVO push/pull
Corsair VENGEANCE LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3600 CL16
MSI RTX 3060 Ti Ventus 3X 8G OC LHR
Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB
6GB Seagate HDD
EVGA 650BQ 650W PSU
ASUS VE278 27" monitor, Dell E2216HV (vertical)
Logitech Z533 2.1 Speakers, G935 7.1 or G435 headset
MS LXM-00001 keyboard
Razer Deathadder Elite, XBOX One Lunar Shift controller

I've come a long way from my original Core2Duo E6750 build y'all! :supz:

I would really like to see AMD go a little bit more in the direction that Nvidia is going wither thier SLI/Chipset Platform where every mobo has an onboard GPU to handle all the 2D work when it is needed and power down the 3D card. I think that if they could do that with their new 3870x2 or even with non X2 cards, they would make Crossfile X even more attractive.

That's good.

Also seen nVidia doing Hybrid SLI by putting a Integrated GPU onto all of their motherboards.

More performance + lower price = Happy Customers. :)

Now they just need to address the low form factor customer base and I'll be happy. Not all of us use big cases.
