Ding !!

Not even bacon could fix the Chipzillah i740 !! Intel "dibbled" in GPU discreet going back to the early -80's with co-processers with graphic engines ___ but the i740 was LOL really, really bad ...

Pretty much this. See: IEDM 2018: Intel’s 10nm Standard Cell Library and Power Delivery

I've got 8- or 9-year old C-Series Nano with an APU __ it punk'd the "Atoms" of it's time. I think Anand did an article at the time. Maybe an 8-watt '5200 APU' ?? At 28-watts, those Ryzens can cut that as much as 35- to 40-percent in the wattage department, BUT the one single Zotac I can find...

I wonder if this was a side deal with AMD's blessing __ I would suspect Sapphire gets first dibs on specs for custom designs. BUT ... I do not really know the in's and out's of their wheeling and dealing.

Love to see a smackdown with the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U -- or a new 7000-series mobile APU. Zotac used to have some sweet ZBOX Series with AMD ___ but it looks like they are lovin' on some Chipzillah, now, exclusively.

"Intel Foundry" is a load of hooey . . . AND, there are significant differences between the standard cell libraries within those who utilize TSMC fabs. 'Hats-Off' to TSMC for maintaining those firewalls between customers. Anti-trust 'Chipzillah" -- not so much.

Need more tax breaks . . . . STAT ! !

mmmmMehhhhh . . . . Vegas GPU compute on line one . . . My CAD does OpenGL, too :homer:

Good for AMD Most efficient . . . as compared to a 100000 Gigga-Watt coal plant ?? ( . . . just kidding ___ they do suck-down some power, though . . . )

"According to AMD, RDNA 3 GPUs can hit the same frequency as RDNA 2 GPUs while using half the power, or they can hit 1.3 times the frequency while using the same power." Really good stuff, Team THG !! :ouimaitre:

Nvidia’s selling a nerfed GPU in China to get around export restrictions https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/8/23447886/nvidia-a800-china-chip-ai-research-slowed-down-restrictions The government limited how it could sell its top-tier chips meant for AI research, so Nvidia made a version that it...

Need more tax breaks ___ STAT !!

Even forty years ago this practice was unacceptable. Since this time, Big Global Corp has managed to gut everything from usury laws to banking and consumer protections. Time for some serious anti-trust actions against the worse offenders ...

Over the last year the China / U.S. Foreign Exchange Rate has tank'd minus 16% or so, and there are rumors that the zero-COVID policy in China may be eased somewhat. Over the last 2 weeks, "Chinese state banks sold dollars to support yuan"...
