    News AMD plans for FSR4 to be fully AI-based — designed to improve quality and maximize power efficiency

    full frame generation instead of rendering will make things once thought impossible such as PC gaming on mobile, possible. GPUs are going to transform entirely into AI accelerators. This tech if made workable on previous gen GPUs and consoles, will make hardware capable of far more.

    News Senior Intel CPU architects splinter to develop RISC-V processors — veterans establish AheadComputing

    AMD and Intel have the best optimizations, so if they were to design a new competitive RISCV chip as a flagship it would be the best on the market. However I think we would need massive investment into making ARM and RISCV work well with existing software. We need serious paid developers to...

    News Alleged GDDR6X shortage could briefly hinder Nvidia gaming GPU supply starting August — affected models include RTX 4070 through RTX 4090

    "Shortages" every time they want to scalp and create artificial scarcity. Just use HBM on-die chiplets. Way higher bandwidth. Its time for 1024-bit GPU memory.

    News Intel's 50-Year-Old 4040 CPU Optimized, Battles ENIAC in Pi-2035 Calculation Race

    i wish these old chips could be made at 4nm node. imagine a 486DX4 (yes i know its much newer than the chip in the article) but made at 4nm node. I bet it would use almost zero power, but allow us to run all the legacy OS and applications and games at a fraction of the power and in a much...
