guess you will need a special kind of agreement with electric company to power a 4090ti...

either Apple is greatly inflating its numbers and prowess, or the other specialized company (intel, nvidia, amd) with lot of experience and years of upgrading and investing in their chips are underperforming a lot or especially incompetent...I tend to believe that Apple sell clouds to their...

Its not about what is good and what is bad. I personally find large scale miners to be parasites. Its about having the professionalism, in such a large and well know tech site, to verify the information shared. But that step was likely skipped for the gain of being the first to bring the news...

I wouldn't say its a good deal, just that its not as worst as it was before.

so, if I understand correctly, you shared a story about a piece of software without testing if : 1-wether it was actually working 2-if it was safe to use. and you even shared a link for everyone to download it? would I dare call that very unprofessional?...

why would they invest to give you better quality if you are still paying premium for their old crappy tech? Only way to make them move is to leave, then they have to adapt and offer something better.

do you realized that 10% of miners control 90% of the total mining, and that, of all the bitcoin owners, about 10000 of them control more than 1/3 of all the crypto market? You might think that you are big shot with your rigs and your few btc, but you are merely surfing a market controlled by a...

yes, that is one way to profit; but there is always the risk that a whale spotted the same crypto as you, and will sell it all before you, making it crash, thus making you poor again, and him richer. It is still a market where the filthy rich can control the market.

the more it goes, the more it looks like a Ponzi ... the one who started mining at the beginning are those who are rich today, those who just hopped the wagon will make peanuts or loose, but their presence gives value to the crypto, thus making those who started richer. You can say all you want...

I see this CPU more as a proof of concept/consumer test, otherwise they would have named it ryzen 6800x. Either they want to test its stability with millions of people making all sort of "murphys law" manipulation or check its stability on various application and setup. People buying it will...

actually, I wouldnt expect such a big gap in pricing. You can compare to Xiaomi or Huawei flagship equipment's (phones, tv, laptop, etc.) high end tech still have a minimal price. But they should help a lot by bringing more availability and competition

I hope all miners have reserved their stock already, and that scalpers have updated their bots for what will be left...

that is a very good news. This is the kind of things that could bring down some MSRP levels to current card level considering that they are independent (I think...) from usual silicon foundries limitations.

the only relevant question for those who will be able to buy the stocks before its even commercialized: what's is the hash rate?

if those upgrade from 2.1 are to be options, wouldn't it be more logical that they'd be 2.0 with mentioned upgrades? Will they be downgrading requirement for 2.0, or is it just gonna disappear? and last question, who is selling crack to those guys?
