I’m quite sure the MI300 is going mostly to private businesses that don’t want to shell out Nvidia prices. Why would a cloud provider dealing with LLM training want to sell anything other than Nvidia currently? As someone who’s played around with ML a fair amount, Nvidia has such a performance...

I also work for a Fortune 500. I have zero ideas what our numbers are. I’m quite sure I’m counted as a contractor though.

Then what’s even the point if there’s no OS? You can use microcontrollers as a cpu though. Look at the Raspberry Pi Zero. It’s sold as a microcontroller. If this thing literally only blinks LEDs then I’ve never seen something this stupid.

I guess it should at least run Linux since it’s risc v

If you think the average consumer is ready for multiple CPUs, I get the impression you’ve never used a multiple CPU server. It would make much more sense to just give consumers access to more cores on consumer CPUs. If Intel or AMD would sell a consumer CPU with like 32-48 e cores and 64 pcie...

Just for the record, Nvidia has 30,000 employees. Not 26,000. The AMD number is right. Considering Nvidia concentrates EVERYTHING on GPGPU computing and Radeon is a tiny shithole in the closet of the CPU department at AMD, it’s kind crazy AMD gets as close as they do in overall GPU performance...

Isn’t getting 10% of the sales Nvidia is getting basically a straight up 9% market share gain from zero? That’s actually encouraging considering Nvidia was the only show in town.

You keep claiming 100% of cases were shown to be user error but that was only ever written by some online magazine. We don’t know if that’s really true. In fact, I highly doubt it. No product in the world has ever had 100% of failures caused by user error..

Dude the connector is a poor design. I’ve got a 4080 and it absolutely doesn’t give a good firm click like the old 8 pins.

No dude. Don’t pretend CPUs were exploding and don’t pretend it was anything like as widespread as this. I’m currently running two Raptor Lake desktops and a Zen4 laptop and this is a much bigger problem as far as I’m concerned.

I’m fully aware of how chips work. Also, with proper cooling the 13900k is easily capable of 5.8 all core. Now sure if you’re running Linpack or p95 that will be nearly impossible to keep cool but it’s quite easy to get through Cinebench runs that way. But yeah it’s clear Intel needs to bin them...

This many people don’t just “fail to plug it in properly” for no reason. Even though I haven’t had the issue since I only have a 4080, I fully recognize the plug is NOT a good design with a nice firm click like it should be.

As far as I’m concerned SSDs have gotten cheap enough to just store everything on NAND instead of HDDs with sort of NAND based caching like you’re implying.

Yeah any chip with 40% of its SMs disabled was indeed likely to be in pretty bad shape to start with.

Probably because that memory controller is in fused off area of the chip
