Hardly a monopoly. There are TONS of fabs that produce legacy nodes. The ONLY way they can achieve monopoly is to be gov't subsidized as legacy chips eventually become more expensive to produce then new nodes due to mature die shrink. And if that happens, dumping taxes will be applied...

What's your point? There are tons of fabs that can make this tech outside China also. More power to them if they become self sufficient.

More power to them.

Solution has been around over 13 years. I saw the code myself.

Could be a cracked thermal paste issue. Those old hbm chips had a problem with being different heights. It made contact with the cool plate problematic because the matching surface was uneven. Repaste might help.

I could. But then politics aren't allowed here. Be careful where you go with that question.

That's not entirely true. The Sony Starvos sensor series is top of the line and used by kyro and link. The kyro's software was flakey and unstable. And it drew too much power causing the USB port to shutdown for that camera. And the link would automatically engage in face tracking when we...

Do you know how the Blue LED was invented? Millions of dollars were wasted by hundreds of scientist trying to invent a Blue LED. One small Japanese engineer with a bachelors said he could solve the two big problems with creating Blue LEDs. He realized CVD (Chemical Vapor Depoisition) for...

UW's are nice without a doubt. But remember they are of less screen area than a conventional 16:9 32". My one son has a 32" QHD. My other son has a 34" UWQHD, and the difference in real estate is significant. Yet my 2nd son won't give up his UW. (I asked them both 3 times if they would...

Hey we all been there. Grace is important.

Doing work while half awake. Then you wake up the next day and look at what you did and think "What was I thinking?" Welcome to the club.

It's not a unique chip. These are defective die 4090 that have internal fuses burnt off to prevent them from using the defective cu/sm/mc etc.

Welcome to the black list 4090D

It's really not an apples to apples comparison. The memory subsystem is set up differently. And if you try to use it for everyday task, it will run considerably slower due to memory latency.

This is true. Laptops are a lot more efficient than desktops. But laptops have to be more efficient because they have to remove a TREMENDOUS amount of heat in a much smaller package and preserve battery life. Even at 35W, you can burn your hand holding the heat sink if fans are off. Some...
