Just wondering how the efficiency of this analog chip compares with the efficiency of the analog human brain. How many decades will it be before semiconductors are at parity with the brain?

It doesn't have to be better than Apple, it just has to do a good enough job when Apple phones are not available.

In the old days it was a Cold War, now it's a Chip War. Nothing wrong with staying informed with where everyone is at.

As Jensen Huang said, Power requirement is the hurdle of AI. Compute efficiency only increases linearly. So it will be a LONG time before AI can come close to the most remarkable energy efficiency and high compute functionality of the human brain. Until then, I think all the investment hype...

At this point in Nvidia's life, PC graphics cars are Charity. So we should be grateful for any bone they give us.

I don't think so. They started building in the US before the subsidy.

Nvidia made out huge from the mining craze. Their stock went through the roof, marching towards a Trillion dollar market cap. Now their profits are down, PE is at 40, way too high and they want us PC gamers to pay outrageous prices so that their stock holders are happy. Nvidia has...

AMD 3080 for $1100? Is that a subconscious slip or do you really think AMD's 2nd tier card is only going to be as fast as Nvidia's last generation 2nd tier? Funny, and you never know with AMD.

"In a bid to develop next-generation semiconductor technologies, foster cooperation, build a resilient chip supply chain, and better compete against growing Chinese semiconductor prowess, the three Asian countries and their U.S. allies have to somehow work together despite various controversies...

The writing is on the wall. TSMC needs to get out of Asia.

Do I have your permission to watch Climate Change Alarmist YT videos?

The West has realized how dangerous their dependence on Taiwan is. The West is working to build fabs to reduce this. In the 5 plus years to do this, China is much more likely to stop the flow than an earthquake. Regardless, it was very FOOLISH for the West to do this. It is the false dream of...

It is becoming apparent that Taiwan makes the most advanced chips, that can't be made anywhere else, and is essential to the Top American tech companies, not just Apple. This a DISSASTER in the Waiting. The Hurt that Russia put on the West by reducing the supply of a few percent of COMMODITY...

The Fed is raising rates to Slow the economy, to reduce inflation. They will make our current technical recession more of a reality. AMD and Nvidia stocks are getting hammered because PC sales are way down and are going lower and enterprise sales are going down. Just look at the sales on...

Exactly what I did last Christmas. Then, this spring I got a laptop with a 3070 for $1200. I am in no hurry to get a $2500 desktop that uses 4 times the power. I can wait till Intel's 13 gen CPU and AMD's next GPU, especially when the coming recession is going to make things cheaper.
