many years ago, when my ex-girlfriend was in college, for whatever reason she managed to get herself into a course that involve programming and for some unknown reasons, they were asked to do it in tcl. obviously I was the go to expert on e

Apple's gross margin is significantly lower than that of TSMC. everything else is just cheap talk.

> 20% performance boost could easily be worth many multiples of 2.4x the cost. clearly not the case for iphone 14. people are not buying new iphone just because it is 20% faster than iphone 13.

as reported by the article, an impressive 50% reduction of cancer death for those who did colonoscopy. I call that solid evidence which could potentially save millions of real lives.

the result reported by the article is impressive - 50% reduction in cancer death for those who actually did at least one colonoscopy in 10 years. surely your risk can be further reduced by having annual colonoscopy if you are in the high ri

Intel have to put in an extra 8 cores to get similar multi-threaded scores, while the 3% higher single thread score is all about higher frequency. I am not very excited for Intel's next earning call.

> one party does the reverse engineering yielding a spec; the other implements the software based on the spec. good to know that. asahi linux should be fine, the reverse engineering and driver development are done by different people.

From memory, EU used to have very strict laws against reverse engineering. Is that still the case today? I mean this whole thing is pretty much based on reverse engineering the GPU.

surely Anandtech is in a different category - why would the PR dept of AMD or Intel mess with Anandtech. sadly, the same can't be said for hundreds/thousands other much smaller reviewers.

I think the title is misleading - it is not a server performance comparison, it is just a comparison on a single application using a single kind of workload on a fixed dual core setup. It also lacks basic insights into the results, e.g., wh
