Let's improve the articles about AMD topics[edit]

In the last months and weeks I have been working on improving the articles about AMD topics, e.g. templates, articles about CPUs, GPUs, etc. I just want to encourage everyone to achieve this goal together.

I noticed that most of the articles about AMD topics are not on the same level as the articles about Intel and Nvidia topics. These issues are both about quality, e.g. outdated information, and quantity, e.g. lack of details.

Together we can make the articles about AMD topics even better. Thanks for your help! --Soluvo (talk) 11:07, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Table for comparison of AMD, Nvidia and Intel topics[edit]

I have created this table to help me find similar subjects. Maybe you find it helpful too.

In the row that links List of AMD Ryzen microprocessors, currently no Intel equivalent is listed. While there's no "list of Intel Core processors" article, the closest thing to an equivalent exists as 4 separate articles: List of Intel Core i3 microprocessors, List of Intel Core i5 processors, List of Intel Core i7 microprocessors and List of Intel Core i9 processors. Should these be added to the table perhaps? – numbermaniac 03:14, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Numbermaniac: Thanks, a very good suggestion! I just added the four lists about Intel Core processors to the table. --Soluvo (talk) 23:04, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Numbermaniac: Thanks, I've added 2 articles to the Nvidia column. - nathanielcwm (talk) 13:50, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

AMD CDNA: data center compute GPUs[edit]

As far as I can tell there is no information on Wikipedia about AMD's CDNA data center compute GPUs. CDNA stands for Compute DNA just like RDNA stands for Radeon DNA.

Here are some links about it:

I don't understand wikipedians that overly cautious. You have made a significant personal research, you could write about your findings directly in the article. Maxorazon (talk) 15:30, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why does Bill Gaede feature at the top of the "See Also" list?[edit]

He is tangentially related to AMD at best - not sure what the basis for including him in such a prominent position is? Without objection I'll remove him and add a reference to the relevant time period in the history section. Sahrin (talk) 10:36, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The addition was made in 2012 by an argentinian user. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:%D0%AE%D0%BA%D0%BA%D0%B5 Sahrin (talk) 10:41, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Blockchain Game Alliance"[edit]

Regarding this edit if the Blockchain Game Alliance is encyclopedically significant enough to mention, cite a reliable, WP:IS explaining to readers why it is significant. Press releases are neither reliable nor WP:IS and cannot demonstrate significance. Blockchain Game Alliance redirects to Blockchain_game#History, where the "Alliance" is given precisely one sentence, and no indication of importance is mentioned.

Our goal isn't to cram in any and all factoids which can be sourced, it is to explain things to readers to they understand the larger topic. Regurgitating a press release doesn't help readers understand this topic, nor does it indicate why they should look into it any further.

To put it another way, tell readers why they should care and use better sources to do it.

It is inappropriate to use promotional or flimsy sources to imply a level of significance when those sources do not support such significance. Wikipedia is not a platform for advocacy or promotion. Grayfell (talk) 03:51, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Data sheets of the products[edit]

Unlike Intel AMD is well know for keeping its products technical documentation (datasheets on chipsets, CPUs etc). This fact should be reflected in the article I think. Thanks! AXONOV (talk) ⚑ 12:00, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
