Exactly. The slightly better error rate with higher temperature is one thing but tremendous decrease of charge retention time is another. According to JEDEC specifications, a client class SSD must maintain its data integrity for a minimum of one year at 30°C, but this retention time drops to...

I read this message as either 1) Management knows that they will fail and hinting government to continue handing money on it for years to come. Then if they still fail they hope that either Emir or donkey will be in a different reality and the management still get their golden parachute 2)...

Just a little thinking out of the box and anyone could afford it.

I'm always thinking how to use the wasted heat from my EPYC chips at winter and do not spend more on air conditioning at summer. $2000 per year down the drain

I like your "Yes, Father, I need the 5070 Ti for homework" 😂😂😂 When I told my kids "Time to sleep" they always responded "Why, you are still playing...". They always thought I was playing games. At that time I have heard that Gates and Jobs severely restricted their kids time on computers by...

This drive has SLC cache. SLC has orders of magnitude larger endurance than TLC still it is not an eternal and fast like the DRAM cache. Have anybody experienced any problem with wear off of SLC cache due to the processes doing frequent writes to the cache? I've never tried DRAMless M.2 SSDs...

How about server motherboards and EPYC processors?

How Intel missed also EUV revolution is beyond me, it looks like an impossible absurd. The fact that EUV and XUV are the future was clear already in the 1980th. It was Intel who pioneered starting from year 2000 the broad research in this area and held numerous conferences and technical...

I am shocked that high tech community tolerated even the existence of 2 years warranty on harddrives. In which insane world people dispose HDs in trash after 2 years? I remember how furious I was in 2000th when my drives, be it laptop or desktop ones, abruptly malfunctioned after 1-2-3 years...

Exactly. Let's just compare INTEL to TSMC for example: "TSMC has maintained a stable employment policy over the past decade, with rare instances of firing employees, even for underperformance. The company is known for valuing employee experience and expertise, and layoffs or terminations are not...

I have not seen the actual spec and what specific market they are targeting, but first reaction is that using 4 NAND channels would be detrimental for reaching largest bandwidth specifically with these rates. They mention about PCIex4 and I commented about this. As to chips, they can be made...

Enterprise as oppose to consumers has no problems with many 16x PCIe channels. Consumers actually also can afford motherboards with 4-5 16x PCIe slots if they are really needed. I for example add 3 additional M.2 NVMe SSDs via PCIe enclosures on the motherboard. In these enclosures only 4...

So the bottom line is 5090 just 11% faster compared to 4090? And so much noise the whole year...

Yea, would be interesting to know how much cost adds stacking process with more and more layers. Also interesting how expensive is making flash memory. Each chip has approximately 2-3 square centimeters surface area and with say 200 layers this is ~500 cm^2 total area. This is a half of the...

Formally the back side of 2280 has space for 4 chips. So with two on top the total will be 6 and with current 2TB chips the overall size 12TB. But the problem is that you do not want to place the chips under hot controller and DRAM because the flash memory is exponentially sensitive to the...
