how come all kinds of companies can make their own versions of gpus but only like 3 people make cpus

>it's a pedo poster says something retarded episode
>AGAIN

thanks for bumpong my thread

Post more Megumeme
Also only two companies really make gpus (Nvidia and amd) there's Intel too but that's just an igpu. Other companies just change some things around coolers, clock speeds, memory speed, size, etc.

Graphics Card:GPU::Motherboard:CPU

why don't those companies that make gpus also make their own versions of amds and intels cpus

AMD makes both GPUs and CPUs you fucking moron

what are you talking about i know that
im asking why doesnt asus and gigabyte and saphire make their own 'non-reference' cpus like in the gpu market

Because a cpu is just a die on a small pcb, with some mayo and a heat spreader.

There is no such thing as a non reference GPU you fucking toad

why doesn't asrock sell their own version of i9 with solder instead of mayo

ya- yamerooo

im starting to think that no one knows the answer

only the cards are custom, the GPUs themselves are all stock (as in straight from nvidia/amd)

what about mini gpus

mini gpus?
you mean mobile gpus? same deal, stock chips, custom boards

-- also, i mean laptop gpus specifically
mobile used to pretty much just mean laptops, but i guess that's not the case anymore
cellphone gpus (and cpus) are another story

I'm pretty sure Apple makes their CPUs and GPUs.

not for their desktops/laptops

true. but those are like 5-10% of their device sales.

i'm not sure how that is relevant

it is because their business is iphone and they make cpus & gpus and they sell millions upon millions of them.

imagine if your CPU came soldered to your motherboard and you couldn't change it out
congrats, you can now buy a Gigabyte i7 7700

Because they'd have to pay Intel and AMD a shit ton for patents and their CPUs would be no better than those VIA pieces of crap.

So we can render megumin to life

Then why don't we buy GPUs and GPU boards and GPU fans then put them together? What if I want an RX580 with a cryorig fan on a gigabyte board?

because it's always been this way, mostly.

also because it's a lot easier to set a gpu on fire with a bad cooler, and the ram is significantly higher-performance than is used for general computing so benefits from being soldered rather than socketed.

but mostly just force of habit. there are cooler kits you can buy and use if you really want to.

No one designs it that way. Hell AMD and Nvidia might forbid. Fans you can replace though

also because GPUs are pretty cheap parts other than the actual die in the big scheme of things. and it's extremely rare to want to upgrade one component without upgrading the others, if it's even possible (thinking memory controllers here). there's nothing PREVENTING socketed northbridges or USB controllers, way back in the stone ages serial controllers were sometimes user-upgradeable, but in general the board is meaningless and the RAM is often not forward/backward compatible and almost never not a generational leap, so people are usually fine with buying the $200 die and the $100 RAM as a bundle and fine with whatever $5 backplane.

VRAM was socketed and upgradeable, long long ago, but that was back in the days where someone could conceivably want to upgrade to 2MB so they had enough room for a 1024x768 framebuffer.

AMD and NVidia sale the GPU Design, Intel doesent sell the design.

Real answer:
Amd and Intel do not need custom cpu because motherboard is what matters in this case
Asus GB LG Pageor Citroen everyone make custom motherboards for cpu.
Things like 1800x come without cooler,so other company still get money for cooler design.

Now that I answered op flawlessly THIS IS NOW animo DESKTROP THREAD QUICKLY POST!!

they don't*, they just sell bare dies and solderable packages for other companies to integrate on a board.

intel and amd will make the same deal if you're a big enough customer, most laptops for example are a Dell or Lenovo or Apple (whatever die).

Hi.
Go to hell.

Fucking monopolies, costly development, and trade secrets/patents, that's why.

Anyone that wants to get into it has to start from the bottom, and that ain't happening, since you need the infrastructure to design and make chips as well. Literally, only Samsung, TI, Intel, AMD and a couple of others have the funds to do it.

Also, you're mentally retarded and should get your brain checked.

who? me?

gpus are recycled tech from cpus.
You need a lot more R&D to be a cpu developer.

haha

Graphics card =/= GPU, you moron.

It's true though. A gpu is just a cpu that is specialised for a certain kind of computation.

lol

@60721644
Silly me, I didn't realise I'm getting baited.

how many gpus have you made in a fpga
get out of my thread retad

>fpga
How does that contradict anything I said?
Go drown, retard.

never reply to my thread again stupd

Ah, the retard is the OP himself who can't even tell the difference between a gpu and a graphics card. That explains a lot of things.

duhhhhhhetetgfdghjdhg

Not an argument.

you're not an person

Because the partner is responsible for choosing the hardware to support the processor on those cards. That involves mostly figuring out the power delivery, cooling, and memory. All of which are handled, in the case of the CPU, by the user selecting a motherboard, their own memory, and their own cooling solution. The closest thing to this CPU side is the laptop market. Essentially, a packaged processor currently is a complete component in the market, and anything more would involve Intel or AMD selling raw silicon dies to a third party at a discount from the regular price, just so they could just put solder on it. Doubtful if it would make either company any more money. You can however, pick up binned CPU's from siliconlottery and get the delid service but a 7700k with that will run you ~600 USD.

gpu is not graphics card

Sure is summer ITT.
