Aleksander Trofimov's GPU Murder

In 2017, Russian programmer Aleksander Trofimov, age 37, murdered his friend Evgeny Lylin after an alcohol-fueled argument over whether AMD or Nvidia graphics cards offered better cooling. Trofimov stabbed Lylin twice and then continued to stab him 11 more times after he was already down. He was arrested three days later and eventually sentenced to nine and a half years in prison.
