they are talking about the scenario of having a discreet GPU in addition to the GPU on the CPU. So there's 2 GPUs, and the nvidia one has its own VRAM (typically of the GDDR variety even) that isn't shared with system RAM (hence

The problem isn't how bright should 1023 be. The problem is how bright should diffuse white be (aka graphics white or SDR white)? None of HDR10, HDR10+, or DoblyVision ever attemped to address that question. Which is a pretty important

Bit depth is precision. HDR or SDR are the range . They are orthogonal concepts. But at a high level you're basically asking "why doesn't scRGB exist" and, well, it does :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&

Wouldn't this prevent the nvidia GPU from being power gated since it's never "idle"? So like your battery life regresses?

MediaTek's press release pretty clearly indicates the CPU came from MediaTek, and so far Nvidia doesn't have any custom CPU core they've called "Grace". Seeing as the DGX Spark has what seems to be the same core chi

The DGX Spark doesn't have a battery. If it comes with 200W delivery (actually 240W), it's because it plans on consuming close to that amount. Although I'm kinda surprised the DGX Spark used USB-C at all for power instead of

Doesn't it come with Nvidia's blend of Ubuntu with a custom kernel? Do other distros work as well as "DGX OS" or are nvidia's kernel changes pretty important to have?

For Apple it worked because they waited until they had a really, really good ARM ISA CPU (combined with arguably sandbagging their x86 offering for a few years prior but I digress). Qualcomm is also working on a really good ARM ISA CPU with

That thumbnail is for grid-size, it's generally 50kb or less in size which ends up being around 300x240 or up to 500x500 on newer codecs. It'll be visibly low-res and blurry until the full size decodes for full screen. Hence why I
