Question Request for Next Ask GN

Der8auer Responds
04:10 - der8auer: hahahaha that GTR burn and old video usage. Not bad steve not bad :D
What Must AMD Do to Stay Competitive?
04:43 - What does AMD need to do to compete effectively?
No One Understands What the Word “Launch” Means
15:38 - Jack Taylor: Both Amazon and Scan have the 3950x in stock and currently on discount 😁
AMD Keeping Old Parts Alive & Pricing?
16:38 – Rudy: Do you forsee AMD continuing production on previous generation parts on their respective manufacturing process that has already gone down in price, and continue selling those at discounted prices? (Specifically for Zen 2 after Zen 3 is released, much like what happened with Zen+ around Zen 2's release)Because the alternative is the old Intel route, with no discounts at all on previous gens because production has stopped.
GPU Performance Outpacing Game Graphics?
20:05 - Steven Gibson: “Will GPU performance out-scale performance demanded in games by so much that we can eventually see xx50, xx60 series Nvidia cards be able to run triple A titles at max specs? Or will we artificially increase performance demands from GPU's to play games via higher resolution displays?”
GN Copper Mugs?
24:05 – catawalks: Will you ever bring back the copper GN cups? I didn't convince myself I needed them until they weren't available anymore.
L3 vs. L2 Cache Increases
25:36 – unfunk: Question for the next AskGN:Why does L3 cache keep increasing, but L2 has been stuck at 512kb per core since forever?
GN Toolkit Stock?
26:28 - GrandesBollas01/24/2020Are the GN Toolkits permanently out of stock or is there a new batch incoming?
GN Abandoned SFF Content?
28:20 – Vernacular: #askGN Will GN ever do content about small form factor cases and components again? It may not be possible to standardize testing for SFF given the broad variety of cases, but it's still very fun, interesting content.Sparse content from niche SFF channels leaves one craving MORE. It's nice that larger channels like LTT do something with SFF albeit rarely, but GN gave up on it altogether. I somewhat understand why, but I'm still disappointed. I know the Lian Li O-11D Mini will likely be tested on GN, but only because it fits ATX motherboards. It's a neat case, but not exactly "SFF" in the enthusiast sense which is generally under 20 liters.
Ideally, How Large Does GN Get?
30:10 - Joaquin Permuy: I know you guys arent planning to be as big as something like LMG, but ideally how many employees would be ideal for you? Love the vids, keep it up
