Its one thing for reuters to not understand how dumb/pointless the GPU/HPC product restrictions were. But yall should definitely know better. If we take the US gov at their word, that its to handicap Chinese AI development, the first questions have to be... Are H100/A100 GPUs the most...

I bet AWS has an option in their management dialog to do exactly what that prompt was meant to generate. I know windows has a "reset to factory" with no user files saved option... Its kind of useful ya know.

I dont see any evidence a "hacker" was involved. Even using the most broad definition of hacking wouldnt be bothered by this massive security hole. (The security hole is every service provider rolling out AI tools with improper/lacking QA or oversight, if youre wondering). By saying this...

How is this different (in function) from Optane pmem? Something released almost a decade ago, before discontinuation due to a lack of interest?

You won't see much actual effort to deliver genuine performance upgrades to already released/sold hardware, as long as the media and outlets covering the industry just blindly glaze every empty "upgrade" released. They would much rather (both hardware vendors and the media who make money from...

I really can't be bothered to go and find what I'm sure was another *straight from the press release* article they wrote on the newest gen x3d AMD processors. Anyone who suggests users turn off the x3d's "second CCD chip" is telling you to run their Ryzen 7 7800x3d as a 4c/8t with 32MB of cache...

Slow down and read the comments. There's a half dozen discussing that exact GPU. And anyways, I'm in complete agreement, writing articles about what PCIe 6 is gonna be like is no less worthless than throwing a "going away" planning a party for the people going to colonize mars.

So you're gonna increase the wattage the heater pump needs to use to circulate the system, by installing a small water turbine/DC generator. Which isn't going to be close to 100% efficient, so immediately you're running a few dozen watts of power deficit. Am I in the wrong place? This is a...

Can yall hire someone who has an electrical engineering background, for the love of god... the only appropriate reaction to PR this stupid, is to have someone who knows the difference between central air blowers, and 120mm computer case fans, mock it mercilessly, and have actually send a list of...

This is such a silly article. And reading through the comments and seeing the active debate on how this additional speed is going to effect several year old GPUs is just wild... this is PCIe 7.0. It doesn't exist in any meaningful way. Heck, PCIe 6.0 (a standard finalized in 2022) DOES NOT EXIST...

I decided to waste 5 minutes of my life I'll never get back, actually reading VESA's press release. They actually said these new monitors ridiculous brightness ( offering higher than 1000 nit) will bring in people working in creative endeavors. These idiots are willfully ignorant. And the...

I'm guessing you haven't talked to a pretty important set of high end monitor users to see if they want even brighter monitors... photographers/video editors/graphic designers. Most of them (myself included) are still using monitors sold over a decade ago, and even with those jurassic monitors...

Incase anyone is hyperventilating at their keyboards. https://www.techpowerup.com/review/ddr5-memory-performance-scaling-with-amd-zen-5/

You must have big plans tonight, to just mail in this always suspect, reheat of an article.. any time ram OC is suggested and mem clock decoupling isn't explained, i assume someone asked chatGPT to write a tech article in the voice of someone who has only used computers they can fit in their...
