    News Samsung launches the world's first 500Hz OLED gaming monitor for $1,300, with its burn-in-fighting heat pipes in tow

    Three Questions. Can DP 1.4 even support 500Hz? If so at what resolution? Also, can the human eye actually see any improvement over say 400Hz.

    News Intel's AI PC chips aren't selling; instead, last-gen Raptor Lake booms and creates a shortage

    Your just saying that because most people won't use it or don't need it, and those that do will certainly be using a dedicated GPU with 50 times more performance, instead. But you see, most people and professionals isn't Intels market for this chip. Honestly, I'm not actually sure what...

    News Galax confirms monstrous dual 16-pin RTX 5090D extreme overclocking GPU for the Chinese market

    Yes, but it's even worse then that, heat is generated as proportional to the square of the current. So if you double the current you increase the heat by 4 times.

    News Apple says it will spend $500 billion in US over next four years as it faces down President Trump's tariffs

    It says including the campus, R&D and training, among other things. Apple already spends $30 billion just on R&D, so over 4 years that would $120 billion right there. If they increase spending then obviously that number will be higher.

    News Google now uses AI to write 25% of its new code — Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai underlines the company's role in the AI industry amidst strong Q3 24 f...

    AI is good for boiler plate and specific repetitive tasks like database API's but using it for complex tasks is like adding a bloated sieve to your code.

    News Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’

    Yeah, that 10 percent is mostly made up of porn and politically motivated bots. It is the future but currently it's not that useful outside a handful of niche applications.

    News AMD talks 1.2 million GPU AI supercomputer to compete with Nvidia — 30X more GPUs than world's fastest supercomputer

    Well, 1 Blackwell GPU can consume 1kw of electricity. So 1.2 million is 1.2gw. This is more than one of Diablo Canyon full size nuclear reactors or roughly 5 percent of the entire state of California's power grid.

    News Samsung Foundry renames '3nm' process technology to '2nm' production node, following industry trends: Report

    Yeah, I agree. I'm just waiting for the industry to start using negative numbers. It's about as meaningless as any current naming scheme.

    News AMD's custom Instinct MI309 GPU for China fails export license test from U.S. government

    Yeah, I tend to agree except possibly for different reasons. China is still able to get high end kit from back channels and black markets for their important projects. This site had an article dated January 28th about a smuggling operation trying to import 53,000 chips in violation of...

    News Apple Vision Pro goes up to 1TB, uses M2 chip with 10-core GPU

    It's apple. People will buy it. I've seen some honest and less than honest reviews of the product. It seems conclusive, it is an impressive device, but currently is pretty limited as far as functionality. If I end up purchasing it, I'm waiting for version 3.11. They still have bugs to work...

    News Linux is the only OS to support diagonal PC monitor mode — dev champions the case for 22-degree-rotation computing

    Some developer really liked the Batman Tv show is all I can think of.

    News Nvidia CEO Jensen dishes out career tips for the fast-changing AI era

    I'm sure his assistants and handlers wear watches. Of course everyone has a phone on them that has the time but I'm sure I'm missing the point.

    Review Kinesis Advantage360 Review: Niche, Comfy Keys with a Steep Learning Curve

    This keyboard is actually pretty great. Do to a unrelated injury, I have wrist/hand issues when typing for long periods and this keyboard essentially solved them. Although, much of this can be attributed moving most of the pinky reaching to the thumb keys. If the price is to high or you...

    News Tachyum, long on wild performance claims and short on actual silicon, delays the Prodigy Universal processor to the second half of 2024 — meme chip...

    So basically an entirely different chip then the one announced in 2018. Not holding my breath on this one.

    News AWS and Nvidia build a supercomputer with 16,384 Superchips, Team Up for Generative AI Infrastructure

    That's a fair question. I just read a NY times and MIT article where AI is expected to exceed AC units as the largest single source requiring as much as 21 percent of the grid by 2030, which would likely be higher that projected EV consumption as well. Google AI/data centers already use more...
