> Apple should make a datacenter GPU Aren't their GPUs pretty slow, though? Not even remotely close to Nvidia's consumer GPU with only (significant) upside being the much higher memory capacity.

The ratio between power usage and GPU cost is very, very different than with CPUs, though. If you could save e.g. 20-30% of the purchase price that might make it worth it. e.g. you could run a H100 at 100% utilization 24/7 for 1 years

I do agree about his view on water fluoridation. So what? That doesn't make him any less of an unhinged lunatic. Again, I'm not even talking about his specific views or qualifications at all only his personal behaviour and charact

Yes but in some EU countries it's very unlikely that any union would be directly involved and the company would still be required to pay severance.

Boeing and Intel also were very successful companies until they weren't. Arguably the decisions that led to that were made years if not decades before there were any publicly obvious signs of their demise. I bet the there plenty of peo

Making an extra $50-150k+ per year (as long as you are in the correct field) might be very well worth it though?

You can still get an 1TB Optane drive for ~$200? In theory much faster and same price as 256GB from Apple.

Intel can still be kind of faster for "productivity" stuff? At least if you are willing to pay for the >8000 MHz CUDIMMs (which i don't think AMD even supports at full speed?) which can result in pretty impressive perfor

By whom though? I don't see how any company directly competing with Intel (or even orthogonal e.g. Nvidia and ARM) could be allowed to by Intel (they'd need approval in the US/EU and presumably a few other places) unless it&#

Statistically it's not that massively different though. e.g. ~12% of all Americans smoke cigarettes vs ~18% of EU citizens. Over 20% of all Americans still smoked as late as 2014, so IMHO it's mostly social/cultural and Europ

I guess it's partially a symptom of some sort of an inferiority complex. Europe has been almost entirely left behind economically (at least in any emerging sector) yet being able to keep pointing out how superior they are in certain as

Depends on on how you define what the middle class is. Historically "middle class" never meant e.g. the middle 50% but rather the somewhat comfortable, well-off people who have assets but still have to work for a living (everyone
