The English version of the first link in the article is more helpful to more people than the Japanese language version: https://www.kioxia.com/en-jp/business/news/2025/20250408-1.html

I'm not the only one thinking that, https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/1jsxi8s/comment/mlsu8gg/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button It's more type-b than type-c. Translation from announcement webpage: The following is a comparison of...

I did say to be practical. Using your suggested ideology you say we wouldn't need 8-way CPUs to get enough slots for the DIMM, because we could use 8 SSDs. With modern SSDs you'd only need one. Access and execution speed would be slow. Similarly we could use fewer DIMM slots by simply using...

Looking at some of the math: For a 5' cable at 12V and 480W you're going to want an 11 AWG wire, or ~2.3mm. Those pins look a fair bit smaller than that, even if the current is split between a few of them...

You'd need an 8-way CPU to practically have enough slots for 64TiB.

I don't see why there's so little difference in performance, when there's such a large difference in hardware. Could they have optimized for the hardware that most people have (not the most expensive) to optimize the reviews. Note: Remaining specs are the same, except for the price.

The effort (existence) is true: https://www.xrvm.com/product/xuantie/R908 https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/server-soc/releases/ These are basically 8 core processors that lag where ARM was a long time ago.

A newer comparison mentioning (seemingly) everyone is here: https://semianalysis.com/2025/02/05/iedm2024/

The AMD Ryzen™ AI Max+ PRO 395 already supports XDNA 2 and has 50 NPU TOPS with 126 TOPS overall; so I've missed the exciting portion of this announcement, other than it's an incremental upgrade that's probably soon on its way out.

I remember a half century ago when I always backed up to cassette tape, and it took a couple of minutes to save a program barely 16kB in size. I always made backups because it would take a week's work to attempt to rewrite the program and type it in again. Several years later came somewhat...

TSMC isn't quite as optimistic, clocks (alone) could reach 20% higher at 2nm; that is all. It's not until the next node, which isn't far off, that we get that much of a gain: https://www.tsmc.com/english/dedicatedFoundry/technology/logic/l_A16 "A16 is best suited for HPC products with...

I'm waiting until they offer appropriately scented refills for Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP play.

It is, but it's more than just memory. If you compare on cores alone (not saying that's how you should best compare two cards, but I'm not doing the math for every point): RTX Pro 6000 Cost - (RTX Pro 6000 cores ÷ RTX Pro 5000 cores * RTX Pro 5000 cost) U$8,565−(24,064÷14,080×4,569=7,808.84)...

Wait and it will come Probably twice as expensive as what I want to pay but NVidia is now at 96 GB for their Pro card. Now if in a year or two they can offer that for a few thousand instead of several thousand dollars then I've found the consumer grade graphics card I'm looking for. Coming...
