    News Putin orders development of homegrown Steam Deck-like gaming machines — 100% self-sufficiency goal apparently applies to gaming, too

    Yeah, because nobody had the idea to try and create their own Steam. Turns out it's harder than it seems.

    News An unholy SLI emerges — Intel's Arc A770 with Nvidia's Titan Xp pair up to provide 70% boost in FluidX3D

    As a former user of SLI and Crossfire setups, I don't miss it at all. For a long time I couldn't quite explain why it didn't feel as good as a single powerful card until frame pacing analysis started getting more popular. My experience with multi-GPU setups is that however much they may increase...

    Come on, enforcing monopoly through software lock is bad enough, now the need to insult the customers intelligence?

    News China to lead semiconductor industry expansion with 18 new fabs in 2024 —global chipmaking capacity to reach record heights

    The only possible outcome for those sanctions is happening, how surprising.

    News Intel is buying leading-edge lithography tools — report says Intel will acquire six of 10 high-NA EUV tools produced by ASML next year

    At this point nobody does, really. That's precisely the reason Intel wants to get their hands on them first.

    News Evidence mounts that China has sanctions-defying 5nm tech — Huawei reportedly preps new AI processor built with Chinese fabs' N+2 node

    The five best Nvidia GPUs of all time: Looking back at over 20 years of Nvidia history

    No G92? G80 was great, but G92 simply blew the market. Nothing else made sense at the time. It was a 4060 performing like 3090ti, at 200 USD.

    Question Which OS should I install for a Home Server with Network Storage?

    My recommendation would be whichever you're more comfortable with, then containerize everything. If it was mine it'd be Ubuntu, but that's just my preference. Considering you have layer 4 services (DNS/SMB), I'd use a layer 4 capable load balancer like HAProxy or Traefik. If the web services...

    News Apple Debuts MacBook Pros with 3nm M3 Pro and M3 Max, New 24-inch iMac

    Comparing performance to Intel based macs looks like an obvious attempt at pushing meaningless marketing numbers instead of discussing real improvements. From the presentation it seems like a incremental improvement, if you are in the market for a new mac now you'd probably want that, but I see...

    Discussion Alder Lake - The Resurrected Sandy Bridge?

    Never said x86 was dead, I did say ARM is a threat to x86 server market and it is. Unlike Itanium, it already is the most manufactured architecture on the planet. As for OS compatibility, estimates are about 70% Windows for desktops and 80% Linux for servers. Binary compatibiliy between server...

    Discussion Alder Lake - The Resurrected Sandy Bridge?

    When I mentioned ARM as a threat I meant mostly for data center. It can hurt Client Computing business too, as it did with Apple's M1, but this is a much more complicated move. On the data center business, however, every hyperscale cloud provider already offers ARM CPUs (AWS Graviton, Ampère...
