Re: 2022 Cloud Report
#62This blog post is literally unreadable with animations flying around covering up content, is that by design?
I had confirmed that the overlay is intended teasing to get you to download the PDF.

The memory in an M1 is not "on die" it is plain old DRAM that they buy from the Koreans and solder to the board just like Intel and AMD and everyone else. DRAM is made on a fundamentally different semiconductor process and there will never, ever be a CPU with on-die DRAM. DRAM that can be made on a CPU logic process is called eDRAM. A huge eDRAM is a few tens of megabytes, while a huge DRAM is gigabytes. The bit cell…
I think the person you are responding too used the wrong vocabulary. Apple mounts the SoC and DRAM together in a system-in-a-package design, which is pretty different from how thin & light x86 manufacturers solder DRAM chips to the mainboard. The proximity between the SoC and DRAM is part of what makes the M1s bandwidth possible.
The DRAMs in an M1 system are not really any closer to the CPU than they are in competing ARM and x86 systems.

#64Wonder how cockroach is doing these days with all the competition in the space.
I don't follow their product closely. Who are their competitors?
(If I were in the market for their database and the alternatives were close in parity and price, I'd be likely to choose a competitor for the name not being "cockroach" alone.)

#65I wonder why they did not test the Amazon 6a class. The report gives the impression that Amazon lacks an implementation of the 3rd-gen EPYC.
"Note: Because of our machine selection and testing cutoff times, we were unable to test AWS’s m6a instances, which also run AMD’s Milan processors.
Based on the rest of our testing, we expect that the m6a instances could have outperformed m6i."

so? this isnt about accessibility its about preference. i prefer white backgrounds but im not sad when a site author chooses pink.
How should you know whether it's about accessibility? The `prefers-reduced-motion` feature is explicitly[0] intended to accommodate people with vestibular motion disorders, which are common above age 40.[1] [0]: https://drafts.csswg.org/mediaqueries-5/#prefers-reduced-mot... [1]: https://vestibular.org/article/what-is-vestibular/about-vest...
If it's really bad, couldn't they apply userstyles that disable all animation with `!important`? `prefers-*` settings seem somewhat optional, best-effort, based on their name.

> I would love to see an AMD chip as fully integrated as an M1, moving the RAM fully on die and part of the Infinity fabric directly. Current rumours suggest that's where AMD is heading, Zen 5 having multiple accelerators integrated and Zen 6 having HBM part of the package (on the datacenter variants): https://youtu.be/6yFn85I5PbY?t=1222

I should have said "on package", not "on chip".

Yes! How awesome is it that we've got companies like AMD, Intel, Nvidia, ARM, Apple + TSMC for M series, and others who are cranking out awesome products? Sometimes we get lost in the criticism of every little thing that these companies do and forget that honestly, they're all cranking out great products.
ASML deserves mentioning as well.
No.
Monopolies don't deserve credit.

I'm curious what it is about the name Cockroach that turns you off. I assume the name is intended to give the impression that the DB is hard to kill.
