This processor is amazing. Well done, @AMD@AMDRyzen.
Exciting personal news: I'm back at @AMD. Can't really talk much about what I'm doing- it's very different, yet still on the GPU side.
(Re)starting during COVID has been a little weird, but the flurry of messages and calls from old friends has been amazing.
So happy to be back.
Valve's genius becomes apparent when after using the Steam Deck (OLED) for only a few hours it suddenly becomes difficult to justify buying anything anywhere but Steam.
Just tried Gears 5 ⚙️ MP in 4K+HDR+120 Hz and my mind is a little blown. Definitely a new experience for me.
I’m honestly surprised at what a difference 120 makes vs 60, even on console.
I really hope more devs can target this magical rendering combination this generation.
Some personal news:
I've leveled-up at AMD (Principal Member of Technical Staff).
Feeling fortunate to be part of this critical inflection point in computing, and immensely thankful for my supportive family, mentors, and amazing colleagues that make this all possible.
By today’s standards at least I’m as liberal as they come, but I’m tired of the (arguably lazy) narrative that people like this tech exec are the “cause” of income inequality. Nothing about the income inequality situation is as simple as that.
Picked up a patent award today. When I got home, my wife and kids had a cake to celebrate 🍰

My grandmother this morning, telling me about WW2:
"We had to ration gas. We had to grow our own vegetables and raise our own chickens. We didn't have sugar. Nobody could buy a new car because none were being made.
I just don't understand these people who complain about masks."
