@migueldeicaza they are comparable on IPC, particularly the new 2nd gen AMD chips. But lots of cores for cheap is very much new and uncharted waters!

@migueldeicaza Xeons are thinly rebranded regular intel chips at *tremendous* markup for the server space. Hitting Intel here means they lose a lot of margin fat -- and lots of cores has huge benefit in the server space. AMD is hitting Intel where it hurts. (also ECC for all!)

@migueldeicaza Basically intel has to protect Xeons and “lots of cores” so attacking them there is like using kryptonite on Superman

@ID_AA_Carmack I feel one underutilized principle is to make the game just hard enough that the player is dying occasionally, but not too often. Scale back difficulty silently if the player is dying repeatedly; scale it up silently if the player never dies.
