Bud, chill. Half of those gains you’re talking about are what will be referred to as “architectural gains”. You know I agree with you 9 times out of 10 but you just seem like you’re making a big deal out of node gains vs architectural gains for no reason, here. I mean IPC gains literally have...

Yeah the last true engineer CEO of Intel has zero idea about fabrication tech….Get real guy.

If they were going to hire an engineer as a CEO, they should’ve have properly empowered him. There’s no way Intel can maintain their current massive position as a fabless company and Pat was seemingly the only person willing to really believe in the foundry. I honestly believe 18a will be a...

This is 100% blame shifting. They’re trying to get attention off the fact that they’re using a Nuvia acquired license that was specific to server chips and have now tried to move their cellphone chips under that license too, to greatly reduce they payment agreements they already had in place...

Wall Street kills tech companies. The fact that they fire CEOs for taking a loss now to improve the future shows EXACTLY what the problem is. Pat was charting the ONLY course where Intel could maintain its position. Being able to do everything at a competitive level made them a massive...

Any solution that doesn’t require CUDA hugely reduces costs. Most companies just simply don’t have people capable of using GPGPU compute outside the CUDA system.

A 4060ti with a lower TDP is exactly what it is. With 16GB it’s be fairly impressive as a laptop part. The big L2s on ADA go a long way to reduce pressure on the memory bus just like the “infinity cache” does on AMD’s last few generations.

How is something as old as a Fury Nano relevant to the current conversation?

Hey that Broadwell part is better than it gets credit for. I assume the point of it was internally proving decent iGPU performance was possible even with ddr3 bandwidth limitations and somebody just liked it enough that it made it to production. ChipsandCheese did a nice write up on it sometime...

Alright! Now all we need is games worth playing aside from the few console/pc ports available on Android.

If labor costs make chip foundries left efficient in the US than Asia, it doesn’t seem like Europe with even higher labor costs has much chance of getting major fabs.

No it’s sd8gen3 at top, sd8gen2 in middle and im not sure what the low-end one is. Something like an updated sd720g apparently.

TSMC has saturated it allocation? What are you smoking? TSMC is NOT out of capacity. Nvidia simply isn’t going to pay 3x the price for last second allocation

That’s because the 3050e is still on GloFo 12nm and has terrible efficiency even compared to Zen2. On the Loki Mini Pro with the AMD Mendocino 4 core, Windows stays responsive right down to the minimum TDP.

What “animations” are you on about?
