    News Qualcomm says its Snapdragon Elite benchmarks show Intel didn't tell the whole story in its Lunar Lake marketing

    I like windows tbh. I use linux extensively for servers and all sorts of things but windows desktop works pretty well for me. it's not flawless of course but it's decent. I'd use windows on ARM once things are sorted. I'm not interested in beta testing it for MS and Qualcomm though...

    News The cheapest Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite PC is its mini desktop Dev Kit, and its available for preorder now

    my issue is for indy or small devs it's just an added expense.

    News The cheapest Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite PC is its mini desktop Dev Kit, and its available for preorder now

    That's what I was thinking too. It's more than I'd spend on one. You might as well just get a laptop.

    News Mismarked AMD Ryzen 9000 processor emerges, hints at reason for Zen 5 delays

    If that's what it is they should have just said that. it's an unprofessional mistake and honestly where is the QA on that... but it's nowhere near as bad as what intel has going on.

    News Samsung's new roadmap unveils its 2nm process nodes and outlines backside power delivery plans

    well hopefully that's true. because my understanding is the tsmc iphone chips were better and the tmsc nvidia chips were better when compared apples to apples. but it's been a few years, hopefully samsung (and intel) will be competitive.

    News AMD's gaming revenue nosedives 48%, not expected to recover until 2025

    it wasn't when the card was first released and I was interested in it. I just tried to download pytorch (right now) for windows with rocm and it's linux only. cuda works for both. but seeing rocm listed as an official option is a big win, so that's something. I also just looked up llama 3...

    News AMD's gaming revenue nosedives 48%, not expected to recover until 2025

    I've bought alot of amd gpu's over the years and I kinda dislike nvidia as a company - so I should be a potential customer. There were some early recalls on the 7900xtx cooling when it was first released. Scare #1. Then I heard there were issues with clocks if you used multiple 4k monitors...

    News Intel confirms Microsoft Copilot will soon run locally on PCs, next-gen AI PCs require 40 TOPS of NPU performance

    what if 40 tops is not be enough for future versions and then it'll run in the cloud anyways or they'll be stuck.

    I built a PC With MSI's Project Zero Motherboard: Moving all the ports to the back for a cleaner, quicker build with better airflow

    Agreed, they could make it easier (not just move it all to the back) without much effort.. They also didn't use the idea that Asus is floating around of not using the big external graphics card power connectors but having essentially another pci-e1 type connector for power. That build would...

    The five worst AMD GPUs of all time: So bad we can't forget them

    I had an 8500 and it was fine. not sure what you're talking about. There were some driver issues for sure but it was pretty fast at the time. Only AMD card I hated was the HD2900XT I bought. Too hot, too loud, not fast enough. I did bios editing to help but eventually moved onto something...

    News Windows 10 Still More Popular Than Windows 11, Two Years Later

    I installed windows 11 on a couple machines and other than wsl2 & hyper-v being better I've found most other things are the same or in the case of the taskbar and right click menu substantially worse. There's a registry setting to get the right click menu back but the taskbar isn't great. It's...

    News Intel Will Adopt 3D Stacked Cache for CPUs, Says CEO Pat Gelsinger

    I think because we're talking about a large external cache intel has a good shot an the initial implementation being as good or better than AMDs. Intel has lots of experience with different caches and layouts. We'll see of course

    News Nvidia Reveals DLSS 3.5: AI-Powered Ray Reconstruction

    I'm not convinced yet ray tracing is a killer app/must have feature... but DLSS 3.5 seems like a decent upgrade to me if you're using ray tracing. If it's not slower (might even be faster) and looks a bit better, seems like a win.
