I design custom instruments for startups and labs. No one will buy anything related to Theranos. No one wants a bunch of random parts in a custom box. Why the hell would anyone put a centrifuge or a thermocycler adjacent to an expensive pre

The RX Vega 56 part has 50% higher SP compute per watt than the RX 580 and 570 (50 SP GFLOP/watt), and is only $399 MSRP, so the miners will probably be buying them up. However, AMD is apparently going to bundle most of them with games

Aeon is by far the dumbest site that is regularly submitted here. So many articles making huge claims with nothing to back them up. It's awful. Come at me.
