Modern games are just way more complicated and all the assets have to be a lot higher quality. The assets especially just take a lot more work to do. A single character model can have more polygons then a whole game back in the day. The tex

Microsoft never made any commitments (behavioural or otherwise) about Bethesda game exclusivity so how on earth did they brake any? The only commitment they made for that deal was the keep existing games supported on the platforms they alre

With supercomputers you write your code for that specific supercomputer. In such an environment ROCm works ok. Trying to make a piece of ROCm code work on different cards/setups is real pain (and not that easy with CUDA either if you w

6500K is what one should be calibrating for. A TV straight from the shop in some cases is more like 7500 or 8000K or even more (well into the blue range) Most content is mastered for this 6500K as that is what the D65 standard is and the tv

A lot of people have a terrible conception of what proper white is. Often what many think of as white is white mixed with blue. This is super evident after properly calibrating the white point of a (good) TV. Most casual viewers will say th

In this case it more depends on what Intel does. If Intel somehow beats this before Zen 5 is ready I don't see why not. AMD has these all cores with v-cache parts available on its EPYC lineup so it is technically possible. (not yet wit

by doikor 4y ago
Based on tech powerup tests the cores with the v-cache do not clock that high. The advertised 700MHz higher clockrate is for the non v-cache cores. I highly doubt AMD would release a part that does not hit the advertised numbers (which on t

You don't have the headcount to keep the service(s) running. You have the headcount to develop new features and services. It still remains to be seen how the reduction will effect Twitter in the long term.

AMD said their drivers/software should handle it. Basically working with Microsoft to get the Windows scheduler make the correct decision. No clue how it would work with Linux though. Intel did similar work with E/P cores.

Heat pumps do not generate any heat at all instead as the name applies they move (pump) heat. It just happens that physics allow you to move 3 or 4 kW (maybe even more in future) of heat energy from outside air inside with 1kW of energy and

At those temperatures that pump works at COP of 1. Basically it just switches on the resistive heating element it has for this case. What is being talked about here is having one that actually works as a heat pump at those temperatures inst

Yup. And at least here in Finland the pumps come with the resistive heater included so it automatically switches over to it once it gets too cold. Which where most people live here averages to less then 1 day per year so not a big deal. Way
