I'm sure they'll catch up. But my point is the media, both Eastern and Western (WCCFTech does this too) credulously report every ridiculous claim like this, that the article immediately undercuts. But most people don't read articles, so they tend to believe the headline.

I'm not sure why sites report these stories as if they're real. Oh, the maker says, it's a good as a 4060, but it benchmarks at a fraction of that speed, and this keeps happening.

You would think removing a feature from a product you bought would be ripe for a lawsuit. It's like stealing.

LTT viewers are probably already aware of Blowymatron.

No, The Register likes using that term for some odd reason, possibly they're all from the 1940s. Maybe the auther here is trying to get a job there.

"Hence, the whole purpose of buying a high-speed SD card is that it cannot be used effectively." This doesn't mean whatever it is you think it does. Edit: "While SD cards are convenient, the pros outweigh any benefit they could offer professionals." Really? You mean the *cons* out weigh the...

What the heck is a chipset-style gpu?

Maybe you don't need portability, and you also want a bigger display without "wasting" a laptop-sized display. Also, the article says it's quieter, possibly due to larger fans. (I would've expected this to perform better, what with the 330W power supply (the current blade 14 with a Ryzen...

Thanks! This extra info makes a lot of sense; I was familiar with the size differences between pages and blocks.

Sounds like gibberish to me. (Actually I found a Reddit post that purported to explain it, but "Folding as used in this sense is the combining of three separate SLC blocks into a single TLC block." requires some thought. I guess it means "clearing the pSLC cache by writing to the NAND in...

"chip improvements continue a pace" It's "apace", not "a pace". Apace means "at a rapid pace; swiftly."

I just tried searching for "ryzen 8945HS" on Google and got "people are also asking" what kind of processor is in the 8945HS. Oh, and of course a bunch of ads. Stop using Google for search.

No link to the benchmark? Lame. I did find one benchmark for the 3535X, rating it "good", with a 78.7% rating, putting it 250th out of 1437. For comparison the 3435X was rated 92.4%, 122nd out of 1437., with an "excellent" average bench.

FWIW, I was just at the Houston Micro Center--no Supers yet--but they had what looked like plenty of cards from the 4060 up to the 4070 Ti, but not a single 4080.

"Zhanjiang Xinjuneng also says that the REV-9 can be upgraded to the RTX 4080 Super, which is interesting since it hasn't come out yet, and Nvidia hasn't even acknowledged its existence." Well, if it's a server motherboard, as I've seen speculation suggesting, then of course it'll support the...
