Memory prices are cyclical. But this is bigger and longer than most cycles.

I guess they don't bother using Speedtest in Switzerland, as the average speed seems about the same as the US: https://www.speedtest.net/global-index Must be a sampling bias or som…

AMD's first Athlon chips did not run particularily hot. They needed a fan, just like Williamette chips, but actually used less power than the competition. The difference was they h…

The plan doesn't involve running fabs again. Too expensive. IBM licenses their manufacturing technology (so far to Rapidus in Japan).

No, it stems from a lineage of Tegra chips that pre-date the M-Series. This chip was called GB10. One of its predecessors, GV10 was shipped in 2018. It was a 256 bit, unified-memor…

MediaTek designed X925 + A725 CPU. It's already been benchmarked in the GB10 products. It is not even close. Like 0.75x SPECint 2017 of the M5.

It's the same configuration as GB10. 20 core MediaTek 3nm part which is competitive with a AMD's 2025 16 core 4nm part with similar power draw. https://www.servethehome.com/wp-cont…

What's the real cause of them being unable to price competitively? Is it DRAM, NAND flash storage, SoC cost, simply scale?

I must also admit to preferring Sim City 3000 over 4. I don't know if I can handle a 4K user interface without a magnifier, however.

I suspect general attitude to AI will split along those who had to apply for jobs in the post-AI world of automatic resume generation and filtering and those who didn't.

There's little reason at this price. I run both, Plex for people who are already used to it, and Jellyfin for myself and anyone new. At around ~$100 I think the Plex experience was…

Nethack embeds Lua 5.4.8, so you don't need it installed from a distribution's package manager. As long as your system can build C99* it can build Lua. And given that Nethack 5.0.0…

@jasoneckert For the sake of science, can you disable your e cores and try this test again?
