    News Nvidia rallies to $2 trillion on AI surge, making founder and CEO Jensen Huang the world's 21st richest person

    I'd say everything that has no defined relative income is a bubble. Nvidia made 18 billion dollar the last quarter alone selling AI-accelerators, while this quarter, it'd probably be over 20 billion. The latter is about the average amount of non-iPhone devices sold by apple in the last few...

    News Nvidia rallies to $2 trillion on AI surge, making founder and CEO Jensen Huang the world's 21st richest person

    The internet has so many practical applications, but that didn't stop the dotcom bubble. Usefulness is not a good justification for emerging technologies' exaggerated expectations.

    News Chips aren't getting cheaper — the cost per transistor stopped dropping a decade ago at 28nm

    Well, an oversimplified approach, maybe. With a 1000% error rate I'll have my numbers shoot up to 8.8%, which still won't satisfy anyone. But, Backwards? How? Sure, you can say that, this is not a forum with huge restrictions. I'll keep disregarding what they're saying, because the fact...

    News Chips aren't getting cheaper — the cost per transistor stopped dropping a decade ago at 28nm

    Neither is 20nm, 16nm, 10nm, and 7nm DUV from TSMC. If Intel used EUV on 7, what difference does that make? Yet this report showed that "transistor costs has been plateauing since 28nm". I don't know how this is a problem in my narrative. Let's create a simple model. Assuming that "other...

    News Chips aren't getting cheaper — the cost per transistor stopped dropping a decade ago at 28nm

    Of course not power ICs, MOSFETs on your motherboard usually has ~3 μm transistors. Larger ones are probably used in PSUs. If we widen the definition a bit to include "transistors that makes up computing clusters", sure, that's also possible, but how is that supposed to be calculated? How about...

    News Chips aren't getting cheaper — the cost per transistor stopped dropping a decade ago at 28nm

    You have to have some degree of specificity, you can't analyze "manufacturing costs" and proceed to conclude that "transistor costs stopped going down at 28nm". It's too blanket. What are they specifically talking about? The node? What is a "node", precisely? The whole IC? Those are made up of...

    News Chips aren't getting cheaper — the cost per transistor stopped dropping a decade ago at 28nm

    This analysis is too overrated, too simplistic. GM200 had almost ten times less transistors than AD102, yet the 980 Ti didn't launch anywhere near 300 USD. People think "5nm chips" are just a bunch of 5nm class transistors packed around a die. No they're not.

    [SOLVED] PSU Question (might be a dumb question)

    Sounds more like a motherboard problem than a PSU problem, but either way you need to replace that crap PSU.

    [SOLVED] Opinions on PSU choice

    Losing signal could be a GPU problem. What makes you sure that it is a PSU issue? I know the HCG is old and needs to be replaced, but it does not necessarily mean that you are facing a PSU issue. For buying PSUs, you can tell me a local online store for reference. You might have missed some...

    [SOLVED] PSU Questions

    This is a new PSU that came out in 2020 (based 80 plus data). I heard Golden Field is capable of making good PSUs, but like @NightHawkRMX said, better find ones that have a good review. Also, it only has 103 W combined on the minor rails, so I don't know where you got that 150 W from. Like I...

    [SOLVED] Pc freezes while playing game

    That power supply is problematic, I have seen tons of cases of it malfunctioning. I'd suspect that first. Can you check with another PSU?

    [SOLVED] PSU Voltage Tolerances higher than standard but the system working, any threat?

    Like most other brand out there, Green makes good and bad PSUs, what exact model do you have?

    [SOLVED] Possible problem with 6+2 connector on PSU ?

    It is the sense pin, AFAIK it doesn't suppose to have +12V reading, but zero.

    [SOLVED] PSU Questions

    Your system is going to consume a lot of power in the minor rail compared to an average system, but I don't think that 130W number from outervision is correct. I'd say lower than that, maybe in the 50-75W range.
