The unified memory part of the N64, would be fascinating if they could get that working properly on a N64 recreation device, 4.5 MB of RDRAM. So many techniques fail to transfer 1:1 to other platforms. It still is a marvel of a console. Too bad about the limited run, I would always be...

What is the fix? Turning off starlink during comms? Interested if it is this or simply tuning the Wifi to not overlap VHF if possible?

Depends on your case what is SFF for you. Half height GPU's have always commanded a high premium, but B50 would fit the bill at (Length x Width) of 6.6" x 2.7" and is the first new entry in this space for quite some time(GT 1030, RX 550, RX 6400 are the prior options). But it is much easier...

Chart topping performance, perhaps the premium price is warranted, still 2x more than I would want to pay for storage (even fastest on the market NAND which this appears to be). I love WD, They have done well with the sandisk line, they make the best small form factor drives (22x30). And it...

If you are limited by half height, true, otherwise you should get equivalent performance for less with a b570.

will be good to see how it compares to B580, its right in that price range and if it competes well we should see B580 back at MSRP as there is actual competition in the $300 space ( I can't believe we call this low end, dang inflation).

Betting these will find a home in the university environment, but the Radeon Pro needs better software support, I would rank their support as last compared to the other 2 in the professional sphere. Intel is nascent in this space but has always done a solid job working ensuring software exist to...

Disagree here, there is certain workloads (LLM) which are memory hungry (higher precision models) and the battlemage architecture supplies sufficient throughput to make this a viable product especially in the price range these are marketed at ($300 for a B50). The B580 is capable of 30 tokens...

Interesting choice pairing lunar lake top end chip (4P/4le) with 5070. Arrowlake platform I think would be the better choice with its 16 cores (6P/8e/2le) but perhaps not with how efficient lunar is and how thermally throttled this platform is going to be.

This is clearly for LLM, and would sell regardless, create your own local LLM, I imagine price would be $800-1000 and would be capable of 60 tokens per second, compare that to Chatgpt, which charges ~1$ per million tokens, then a B580x2 48gb would be capable of 60*3600*24=5.18 million tokens a...

The benefit to 24gb is you can fit in a larger LLM into it and get more precise results. The B580 is actually decent for this application: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHgFl2ccq7k View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9hQdTqAIeE If you are paying for a subscription to chatgpt or...

Who knew that Intel would be the sole supplier of budget GPUs? Both Nvidia and AMD cheapest GPUs are all $400+, we will see about that RTX5060 (MSRP$300), but with the 8gb RTX 5060 ti losing to Arc B580 in multiple cases though... the lower price Nvidia offering will need to sell on brand name...

I picked up a Huawei Phone overseas, they do a great job of integrating with other available apps and enabling it to work. the radio bands aren't the best in the US, but the battery life is phenomenal, and the speed is great. Dual sim and micro SD for ~$80usd, great product, crappy camera...

Android OS right? Would be more interesting if Microsoft opened up the platform to more ARM attempts. but as Quallcomm launch saw limited success (platform was way too expensive), personally interested to see how these fair if put on the same OS. I would expect a N150 class chip to still beat...

That is the worst part of the bios update, all custom settings get lost, not even sure exporting and reimporting from a file would do the trick, but I would try that rather than go through that pain again...
