AMD sues 4 ex-employees for leaking docs; includes next-gen console contract head

This is pretty F'ed up, no excuse whatsoever.

Yeah. Stealing from a very small (yet giant) industry is infectious. I work in a small (yet giant) industry myself, and I have friends in all the major companies.

We would know some small/major details but there is no way someone will leak any info to other companies for benefits of bearing them. It's not only bad for the industry, but also bad in terms of doing something innovative.
 
I got the info too, I can leak it GAF if we really want to see it. Its in public domain, unless mods will murder me.
 
AMD claims to have forensic evidence that three of the four defendants transferred more than 10,000 confidential files in total, with the names of the files in question matching “either identically or very closely to the names of files on their AMD systems that include obviously confidential, proprietary, and/or trade secret materials related to developing technology.”
Wut? Holy shit.

IT ain't worth the risk tbh. Save the self sacrifice for bigger moments.


Also I don't think SuperDAE knows as much as people give him credit for...
 
Wow, what a messed up situation.

Also, wasn't the info Sweet posted lead to most speculation placing the Next Box and PS4 roughly 3-4x the power of Wii U? Or was that someone else....
 
The section of sweetvar's post that's most important is also the one that he says had parts that have been crossed out and likely changed. Unfortunately, he doesn't say what parts changed.

The latest round of rumors is probably more useful than sweetvar's post now, though it's still useful for verification and minor details.
 
so we've started the console wars early this time around?

also, it seems like Sony benefited the most from the leaks even if they weren't the primary company they were trying to sell that info to. maybe no one wanted it so they just kind of... let it go into the wild?
 
I find it stupid that neogaf removed the post right away. Just leave it up (atleast long enough to be copied or something). It's not like this site will be blamed if some guy posts classified stuff.

Leaking AMD roadmaps nonchalantly is serious business bro.

Seeing as how MS has been super secretive about their next gen Xbox specs, I wouldn't be surprised if MS jumped in with AMD to deal with these former employees as well as Nvidia.
 
Or sweetvar's friend found out what he was doing, freaked out, and made sweetvar ask for everything to be deleted.

He knew what he was doing. He was spilling the beans to him just for GAF.

Since he probably figured the info drop and codenames would confuse sweetvar, he divulged as much as he could.
