It doesn't have a dGPU specced, so it looks like it's just the APU graphics. That's a Vega 6 for the 4500U and Vega 7 for the 4700U. This may be useful for placing that performance in context: https://benchmarks.ul

Co-morbidities certainly have an impact on outcomes and explains why the IFR is much worse in certain parts of the world but IMHO it doesn't fully explain the magnitude lower attack rate/spread (50-100X worse in the US). That&#x27

It’s true that Japan has done many non-optimal things, but the biggest difference from the west IMO is that there has been close to 100% mask usage (eyeballing in Tokyo, about 95% surgical masks) for over a year now. Any Japanese who see th

You could easily model how increased retention/engagement rates would translate to increased microtransaction revenue from drastically decreased load times. You could even bucket test it if you wanted to directly quantify the results,

The newest Intel 11th-gen i9-11900K actually reduces core count from 10 (on the i9-10900K) to 8, although leaked performance numbers point to the new chip matching last-gen's multi-threaded performance due to a huge single-threaded p

All of the things you've noted are true, but the flip side is that that there seems to be a "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas" (or worse, flat out pandemic denialism) mentality that takes hold instead

This approach sounds similar to clight, which uses a webcam to adjust backlight levels (so may be a little less fidgety than using a color calibration sensor if you just care about brightness): https://github.com/FedeDP&#x2F

Although Apple has been leading edge for a while, it's actually rather unusual for Apple to buy the entire production capacity of a new node. The A13, Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, and Mediatek Dimensity 1000L were all on DUV N7P (Hisilicon

That might be a somewhat relevant analogy if you had a choice to go somewhere else to buy bread elsewhere, but since both memory and storage are now soldered, you are forced to upgrade for the lifetime of the product at purchase. The releva

OK, just for fun, lets do a brand-new dollar for dollar comparison of what you get for the latest new GPUs in the same price bracket. ~250 GBP on Amazon.co.uk will get you a 6GB GTX 1660Ti or Radeon RX 5600XT. This gives you a GPU that has
