It's not really that shocking. Power consumption is non-linear with respect to frequency and you see this all the time in high end CPU & GPU parts. Look at something like the eco modes on the Ryzen 7xxx for a great example. The 795

Yes, but this doesn't work in webassembly because 0x0 is a valid address. That's my point. To do .NET & JVM in webassembly requires doing an actual null comparison and branch as you no longer get to just deref and catch the re

It's important to keep in mind what the actual market for the vehicle is. It's not a sports car. Road feel is an anti-goal, it's undesirable in this market. Just like it's undesirable in the market for the Lexus - luxury

The yoke is to make visibility of the dashboard better. You can deal with rectangular screens easily then instead of needing to force things into a curve. Not necessarily a good enough reason, but it's not entirely frivolous.

It's going to be pretty hard to heat soak a 911 to get it down on power. They're proper sports cars designed to hit the track. The shenanigans was simply in choosing that car at all. A base 911 only claims a 0-60 of 4s and doesn&#

Copper thunderbolt cables are only good for 2-3m, after which you need active cables or repeaters and fiber is easily the best option at that point. HDMI and DisplayPort are good for a bit longer than Thunderbolt over copper, but not by all

It bends just fine. There's tons of fiber cables for "ordinary users" including HDMI, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, VR link cables, and, of course, toslink. You just end up with the extra cost and complexity of having transceiver

Google can always require it to be CDD compliant, and then those RISC-V Snapdragons simply won't run Android. Just like NEON is required for all ARM CPUs since API 21.
