Putting aside the overall tortured language in this article, it's obvious that a 5060Ti is not going to be only $50 less than a 5070. The 4060Ti 16GB was a sales disaster, price is everything in the mainstream and it was simply too expensive. Expect the 5060Ti 16GB to drop to $449 and the 8GB...

The bus on the 4060 was irrelevant. There simply wasn't enough compute to leverage the bandwidth that existed. Also, massive cache changes in Lovelace made VRAM bandwidth nowhere near as relevant as it used to be. The 5060 (non-Ti) is the product to watch; finally a "low-end" product that...

> figuring lol out how to salvage as much as possible from the "failed" boards to resell them as 5070's LOL! You're obviously completely clueless, but just as a refresher, the die for a 5080 is completely different than a 5070, it cannot be used as a 5070. Without a doubt, 5080 dies that have...

22%?? Not a freakin' chance! It was obvious that the 5080 would never be "allowed" to get anywhere near the 4090 and the SM count is only trivially higher than the 4080, and in the 5080 things like L2 cache and the 256bit bus stay the same. Everyone knew that even an average 15% uplift over a...

Huh? The 13600 does not exist! (at least not in retail channels...) Everything below a 13600k was warmed-over Alder Lake, without the vastly enlarged L2 cache. Yes, it "exists" on Intel datasheets, but that does not mean they ever actually sold them in relevant quantities or in consumer...

It's a common misconception that miners somehow influence the popularity of any given altcoin, this is absolutely incorrect these days. Speculators drive altcoin popularity and miners simply serve the speculators; coins with high transaction levels and resonable market value (not pennies)...

You mentioned the Ethereum PoW Merge and had a comment something like: " ...miners will find another coin...", but this kind of glosses over how utterly dominant ETH GPU mining is. Essentially, far too much hashpower directed at ETH (96.3%) and other mineable altcoins are essentially valueless...
