It looks like they're still actively maintaining a bunch of rust crates, and they're still developing Wim (their blobby Roblox competitor written in rust). They have pulled back from the rust ecosystem quite a bit though since rep

Other fps game maps don't have licenses that let you use them to stress test your renderer or game engine. Existing freely available scenes are all too small and poorly made to be proper stress tests with modern hardware (eg. Old sponz

IIRC they're an AMD extension (VK_AMDX_shader_enqueue) that only works with a specific beta driver currently. I wouldn't really say they're usable in vulkan at this point.

VR needs a more powerful CPU and GPU than a MacBook Pro needs if you're trying to break into the VR gaming market (not saying you need a faster CPU than an M3, but VR is extremely demanding and will use all the CPU and GPU you can thro

A lot of their testing is running custom OpenCL and Vulkan code, both of which are essentially unsupported on macOS (moltenvk exists, but kinda sucks and adds overhead that would make the comparisons invalid anyways).

The cables and ports for 5k120hz barely exist at this point (it needs displayport 2.1 uhbr13.5 or better, which only exist AMD's 7000 series GPUs at this point). Dual cable solutions always suck so everyone tends to avoid them.

I'm really surprised by those idle power draw figures. Most N100/N95 mini PCs idle at around 10 watts.

Sure, but outside of a few SSDs (that aren't worth buying currently, need to wait for the 2nd gen pcie 5 controllers to tame their power draw), what consumer (or enthusiast) hardware is actually using PCIe 5 right now? If you slot 2 40

Current Arc GPUs silicon is extremely unimpressive. They're ~400mm^2 dies with 256 bit busses, but they're only performance competitive with GPUs that are around half their size (3060/6600xt, and the 6600xt only has a 128bit

Even on high end AM5 motherboards, they'll only run at x8/x8 (or maybe x16/x4) if you populate both slots.

...did you even bother to search through that? There aren't any Haswell iGPUs in there, because they're non conformant. I'd agree that overall Intel's Linux drivers work better (though afaik they've had a lot of pro

2013 Intel iGPUs pretending to have Vulkan support are actually one of the worst targets (on par with bad mobile phone drivers), because the hardware doesn't fully support vulkan, the implementation is buggy and incomplete (and Linux o

This isn't possible currently unless you use HBM, which is significantly more expensive both to actually buy the HBM, and to package it (and all the capacity for packaging HBM interposers is already used for data center hardware). The

Not API agnostic, but pix can debug dx12 shaders, and renderdoc can debug Vulkan shaders (I've used renderdoc debugger's jump to NaN to fix a few broken shader edge cases), and both are vendor agnostic.

For anyone looking at budget android phones, probably the most important thing is to look at the CPU on gsmarena (or elsewhere) and make sure it has at least 2 a7N cores (the higher the N, the better, eg. a72<a78<a720), because androi

As a layman, my understanding is that soap (or other residue) builds up due to low temperature washing. High temperature washes break down the build up. I believe most front loaders these days have both a self clean cycle (you're suppo

Pretty much no one uses Vulkan on switch, and gl only gets used by small indies that aren't using a major engine and couldn't/wouldn't partner with a porting studio. NVN is just significantly faster than either of those
