Please posts news, don't post not-news. Post when you got something to show, don't post that you ordered it. Nobody cares.

I have a GTX 980... I guess you missed those reviews: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...ch&q=GTX%20980 And obviously will be used as part of the forthcoming tests. Unlike AMD, I get samples on basically every NVIDIA GPU.

I guess I did. Good thing.

It's a shame AMD can't send you samples. They probably have less cards to actually send.

Back in HD 2000 through HD 5000 days, I was sent just about every graphics card there was :/ Aside from the R7 370 and R7 260X, every other GCN card on Phoronix is one I bought retail.

No AMD simply is aware that they don't have anything that is competitive on Linux.

AMD probably sold more cards back then, and could afford sending samples to more people. I mean, if you had a hard time even finding a Fury to buy, why would there be plenty of samples to send?

AMD even tweeted Michael's last benchmarks, so they are obviously not ashamed of them.

Maybe they stop sending them, when they start with APUs business... with number of APU models to me that sounds a way too much hardware to send to everybody, all APUs and all cards - it is to much... Micheal will probably need new house if they send him every APU

Even today AMD launch A8-7670K APU, so probably everybody asks "OK, where is my review sample"

Yeah he tweetet a meaningless LuxMark Benchmark, because that's what consumers care about. Screw those games who plays them anyway.

Yeah, sorry, I forgot that bashing AMD is what we do here in the forums, my bad! Even though any rational person can see that the reason Michael didn't get a sample is because of low availability, and Phoronix is a low-priority site (no offence, Michael). Not because AMD are nefariously hiding something.

I hope that changes soon...

Michael, you should try speak with people behind AnandTech, they do some CPU tests on Linux but is without Phoronix Test Suite, if you manage them to use PTS would be awesome to raise the awareness of Phoronix
