Smuggling will increase. Are smuggled items (that cross the border without paying any tariff) subject to confiscation at any time after they are received, just like stolen items? How can buyers verify/prove that an imported item has had its tariffs paid? Do tariffed imported products come with...

nit: maybe s/outsourced/offshored/ outsourcing means moving positions outside the company. If positions are moving to another nation but staying within the multinational company, that sound like offshoring, not outsourcing.

Isn't Windows 11 needed to use something like Intel "Thread Director" to schedule tasks in hybrid architectures where the CPU cores are not all the same? Windows 11 was introduced for Intel's hybrid CPUs with Performance Cores and Efficiency Cores. AMD's new mobile archectures is hybrid now...

The article (currently) does NOT say AMD has released it, quietly or otherwise. Maybe AMD just shipped a sample. GPU/Accelerator companies may ship early engineering samples to major customers (supercomputer buyers optimizing supercomputer software) or to companies whose products drive GPU...

The no-lipstick look of this card is nicer, especially for starting AI'ers and AR'ers not interested in red-light districts or horror flicks.

@BLPPT ROPs?

This sounds expensive, big government. If NSA has the power to surveil Americans who might be indirectly helping foreign powers, does that mean it has the responsibility to do so and must do so? Will NSA adminstrators be fired whenever the NSA misses an inside agent that helps a foreign power...

What does this sentence mean? "PowerColor said that it will have its own custom cards, ... but it hasn't yet received the DRAM it needs." I thought AMD's product included VEGA and the HBM memory as a unit preassembled on the interposer. If Powercolor is waiting on DRAM... Does that mean that...

Getting smaller. Someday small-form-factor cases will fit (airline) carry-on bags/packs. (This is 395mm × 380mm × 86mm. 380mm is 40-60mm too large, airline dependent.)

GPUs have higher memory bandwidth available than CPUs, and tolerate longer memory latency, but they don't address the problem that in graph processing much of the bandwidth is wasted on data that is compared and discarded. One idea is smarter memory chips that can compare and discard...

Hi, Has AMD released performance monitoring MSR event code details for Ryzen? (partial if necessary, such as those identical in BKDG 16h). If not, when might event code details be released? (weeks from now? quarters from now?) Context: Normally Ryzen-specific MSR event code documentation...

Beware, a helicopter might fan the flames, increasing the fire... combustion gas dynamics... hazardous turbulence... Would a dirigible be safer?

"OSX isn't a major OS. It's at 6.74% right now." So by that reasoning, what do you think about the USA, which holds less than 4.5% of the world population? Higher spending customers are more important for some.
