I would like to point out that the ARM Ceo, Rene Haas, was an Nvidia VP prior to him joining ARM.

You have that backwards - YMTC is the one suing Micron, claiming patent violation. Micron is claiming that YMTC is abusing the discovery process to gain access to sensitive material...

Which SpaceX products are failing? They are successfully launching rockets every two or three days now, and their Starlink network works just fine; I haven't heard anything about unusual failure rates for the satellites or the ground terminals customers use. Now, to be fair, some of their...

I really dislike the term "poaching" (which historically meant hunting animals on land that did not belong to you, and in more modern times means hunting animals without gov permits) being used for companies offering higher wages to attract workers from other companies. Companies have no...

The rumors I am seeing after a bit of Google point to the "Aerith Plus" chip actually being made from a Krakan Point die, with 4 of the CPU cores disabled. Which of the four is unknown (Krakan point has 4 regular & 4 C cores), but at least the iGPU on that is RDNA 3.5 based vs the RDNA2 based...

Plenty of smaller brand handhelds have already crossed the $1000 mark. The Ayaneo Flip is $1139 on their website right now, as an example.

The 7900 GRE launched at 5299 RMB in China; this card is launching at 4199 RMB. So basically same performance raster, better RT, and a price tier lower.

That price is being converted from the Chinese price, which includes the Chinese VAT; 9070XTs in China also include VAT, so there is a larger price gap in that market.

Well, you need enough power to run the navigation / map stuff smoothly, and people like fancy looking maps these days with the large screens, play music, and handle various driver assistance functions. Qualcomm also makes chips for this space, which are pretty similar to their mobile chips...

If Nvidia refreshes the 5060 with 12 GB AMD does have the option of just not making 8 GB versions, and going full 16 GB for that tier of cards. I would wager that 16 GB of GDDR6 AMD is using is probably pretty much the same price as 12 GB of GDDR7, maybe even cheaper.

What irks me is that pretty much every other part of a computer one may need is readily available at normal prices. Its just the GPU market being stupid overpriced when available. I have a nephew wanting to build a gaming computer and everything else but the video card is $500. I just had him...

How are the prisons in the Netherlands? I know the Scandinavians to their north have rather cushy ones, and the French to their south are the opposite and are quite miserable. But am not familiar with how the Dutch roll on that.

Well, I mean when a company rapidly sells everything they had stockpiled at or above MSRP, that usually counts as a really good launch. For the company at least. Obviously it would be nicer if they had even more stock to sell, but that would have required AMD predicting Nvidia's short...

Userbenchmarks has some just deranged anti-AMD bias going on. Go read their reviews of the Ryzen 7800x3d or 9800x3d; apparently you need to "watch out for AMD’s army of Neanderthal social media accounts on reddit, forums and youtube," lol. Seriously though, I have heard rumors that the site...

The People's Republic of China seems a bit hypocritical here, to say the least. Lets consider the automotive industry, as an example - the PRC used to have a 100% tariff on imported vehicles, and still has a 25% to 47% tariff on them them. The PRC also has required most automakers who want to...
