City kids have friends, play outside and go visit friends. Yes, and city kids also eat, poop, and talk. :) I think it's the degree that matters. This is simply not true. If you loo…

AMD fanboys will back Intel if it’s against ARM.

They take full power and subtract idle power.

>Which is why a naive perf/Watt metric like Notebookcheck does at each chip's top operating point is almost worthless for comparing efficiency. It isn't worthless. It clearly gives…

Geekbench shows the same gap in performance. Cinebench has historically favored Intel chips more than Arm.

I think Notebookcheck uses peak power in their perf/watt measurements. They go over it in detail here: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Our-Test-Criteria.15394.0.html

It doesn't necessarily use half the power. But it does have greater than 2x in perf/watt and it has noticeably faster ST performance.

Actually, Apple's M3 and even Qualcomm's X Elite are significantly ahead of the new Intel chip in raw performance and especially perf/watt. Cinebench R24 ST[0]: * M3: 12.7 points/w…

The problem with the Nvidia replacement goal of big tech is that they don't have an ARM-like organization to design cores for them. Big tech use their own ARM CPUs because they use…

Did you read my post from 4 years ago? Is AMD the king of the Titanic (x86)? https://www.reddit.com/r/AMD_Stock/comments/kg4e8j/is_amd_th... I basically outlined why I would not in…

It's already proven that it's not just the node advantage. Just compare Apple's 7nm A series chips to Zen3 or M2 to Zen4. The power advantage for Apple is 3x - 10x.

Actually, it's way worse for Intel and AMD if you only use single core power. If you run Geekbench 5 or 6 on an M1, the total package power ranges 0.3w - 5w, mostly staying below 3…

With all due respect, I was a responsible user for the first year too. Good luck to you and I hope you never get addicted. Unlike alcohol addiction, which can come on fast, weed gr…

Well, I wouldn't have been strongly anti recreational use if I didn't go through what I did. Extremely high THC products coupled with professional marketing agencies? Yikes. We're …

> They usually sell crippled GPUs to the low end of the market. That's a segment of the market they no longer really serve. They also didn't do anything to hide the fact that their…

I just quit weed after getting addicted for almost 2 years. There is a large community of people who are trying to quit: /r/leaves The article is nothing new to me. Read a few post…

So much anti-China / pro-war propaganda. It's blindly strong.

> Nvidia sold dedicated crypto mining cards. It definitely did went into crypto. They crippled normal GPUs and sold them to miners. They did this because once the crypto bubble pop…

You're kidding right? Nvidia never went into cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrencies went into Nvidia. Nvidia actively tried to sell GPUs to gamers instead of crypto people because crypto…

Yes.
