The 4TB endurance doesn't scale up proportionally from the 1TB and 2TB, is it using higher-capacity Flash chips with a smaller cell size in order to fit everything on a single side?
That 32MB L3 cache figure for the 9950X3D is wrong. If those figures are pulled from the chip itself then something needs updating somewhere as it's only showing the cache for the non-3D chiplet.
Which is why I said "up to 100W"
But the Lenovo blurb implies that you'll need to provide it with more power to get full performance without any mention of whether or not it's already getting 100W from the host. Could be just poor copywriting, though.
So Thunderbolt over USB-C can provide up to 100W, and that's not enough??? I'm assuming that grille on the end of the thing is an exhaust port for a tiny fan, but that's still a heck of a lot of power to be putting into a small enclosure.
And when you factor in the higher power consumption, the increase measured in FpS per Watt will be even less. Or maybe even a decrease?
The only thing that attracts me about the 5090 is the memory. Or at least it would attract me if it had 48GB instead of 32GB.
Forget the Flops, it's the unified memory that's attracting my attention. The PC architecture is hamstrung by having its memory divided in two parts. OK, so you do get special memory optimized for certain operations on the graphics card, but you have to pay through the nose just to get 32MB of...
"A massive 2X jump in performance using Flux.dev"? Read the small print - the 4090 was using FP8 but the 5090 was using FP4. No wonder it was twice as fast.
