Bit Tech
published some tech gossip, the site heard a reaction from AMD regarding a quote made by NVIDIA Chief Scientist David Kirk:
A sufficiently inflated Ian McNaughton, Head of Product and Platform Marketing for EMEAI sat down with us and told us straight what he thought about the recent comments made in an interview bit-tech recently published with Nvidia's Chief Scientist.
"David Kirk is full of **it", said Ian, pointing at my notebook, "You can write that one down".
Between Ian and John Carvill, Senior Manager, Public Relations for AMD EMEAI, we were told we'd be receiving a special bit-tech branded "soon to be released" GPU product for us to take to Nvision to give to Nvidia. Both were no doubt keen to make Dr. Kirk take back his words after the following comment
“AMD has been declining because it hasn’t built a competitive graphics architecture for almost two years now—ever since the AMD/ATI merger. "
Although we must protest if we're expected to put said product into his pipe for smoking - San Francisco doesn't tolerate that kind of behaviour.
