Wow, if that's true then that is such a massive advantage. L1 is a single cycle fetch cache if it is like x86. So, individual cores can do compute so much better by fitting more data at once.

Geekbench mentioned it under just the processor not core. 4 MB of per core L2 sounds too much tbh

Talking of the new chips, it seems interesting to me to note the difference in cache sizes. I know it is not a 1:1 comparison because of architecture difference but the 16 core 5955WX has L1: 512 KB, L2: 8 MB, L3: 64 MB compared to M1 Ultra

Systematic destruction of industrial capacity is not fixed in a single year. Even the outsourcing of capacity to PRC, didn't happen in a single year. It happened slowly motivated by margins, not due to some technical breakthroughs that

Adding to what the other commenter said. A lot of electronics manufacturing is automated. US is costly because of mainly cost of human labour, but a lot of component design is anyway happening in countries outside China where human labour i

It wasn't the US's intervention that succeeded in making it a "non communist" state, so the US failed in its objectives. Just because eventually Vietnam itself decided what path it wants to take doesn't mean, it was

Apple has enough margins to make the phone in US. They make it outside to increase their profits.

No, I am fine with the facts being listed and with the page in contention, I wasn't even discussing the presence or omission of the fact. My concern was with the weightage the said fact had in the overall article. The weightage of the

Oh, it is just Musk doing his publicity. Unless we have seen proof of no other communication satellite being able to provide communications, I wouldn't believe his word.

This is such a poor argument. It is not like a Russian programmer working in Russia has tons of well paying job options. They can work there because they get to work on interesting problems. Clickhouse came from inside Yandex. Just because

I think China is big enough that it can help ease the economic cost on Russia. There are a lot of natural resources, defence and research tech, that China would be glad to get in return as well. India on the other hand has a far weaker hand
