AMD Graphics Chips Could Last 10X To 100X Longer

Posted by kdawson on from the bumping-the-solder dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to a research report out of UCLA, released this morning, NVidia's high-lead bump packaging could last anywhere from 1/10th to 1/100th as long as AMD's advanced eutectic bump approach. (TG Daily has picked up the claim.) NVidia is currently in the midst of a $200M recall of bad GPUs, and the report suggests that the issue could be much deeper than NVidia's PR department would have us believe." The report lends credence to the strident claims of the Inquirer's Charlie Demerjian, which we discussed a month back.

    I once had an English teacher named Mrs. MacDonald. I do believe that was her posting that. It's almost word-for-word what she wrote on one of my term papers.

    Supposed to be Graphics, but totally messed up by a typical fucktarded who should go out and slit his fucking wrists. Oh, that describes all fucktarded shitdot sheeple as they can't fucking spell, have shrinking dicks, and a love of communism.

    GO AHEAD FUCKING FLAME AWAY OR
    WASTE YOUR GODDAMNED MOD POINTS
    FUCKTARDED SHITDOT SHEEPLE!!!!

    A few things come to mind.

    1. The story was submitted by an anonymous coward, not a subscribed user. Just look at "An anonymous reader writes"

    2. The word is not a misspelling as much as it is a thinko.

    3. You seem to be very critical of what someone wrote, yet you have terrible grammar. First you wrote about a copulating retarded. A copulating retarded what? Second, those who show the constant need for profanity coupled with need to tell someone to slit their wrists shows immaturity, ignorance, and shallowness.

    4. Not all on Slashdot are communists. Some are Communists while others are Capitalists. Political styles vary on Slashdot. There are leftists, conservatives, statists, libertarians, and centrists. One notable example of a libertarian on Slashdot was Bob Robertson.
