People are celebrating a kickass electric bicycle doubling the range of all the existing ones, and you demand to be shown it scaled up to the same power+price budget as an open pit mining truck, hauling dirt in three shifts. It might or might not happen, but the electric bicycle is still impressive.
- spronkey 6y agoWell, it's more like people celebrating an electric scooter that has twice the range of the electric bike. Not saying it isn't a novel form of transport or equally useful in most cases, but... we're comparing a very stripped-down SoC to systems that have vastly more complexity for several different reasons - not least the ability to support more modular CPU/memory/GPU configurations. Rework the existing x86 cores that we have into similar configurations and we'll likely see pretty substantial efficiency gains there too.
