The older AMD GCN had 64-wide wavefront, but the newer AMD GPUs "RDNA" support both 64 and 32 wavefront, and this is configurable at runtime. It appears the narrower wavefronts are better suited for games in general. Not sure wh

The NYTimes article talks about the growing China's trade surplus that reached 100B in June. Yet it does not discuss the exchange rate implications of the trade imbalance. How does China manage to keep the exchange rate with USD relati

Mitochondria are involved in aerobic energy production in the cell, using O2 (oxygen) and some energy substrate to produce ATP (adenosyne tri-phosphate), the "energy currency of the cell". "exercise more" means "hig

Maybe multiple receiving antennas could be used, spaced widely apart (e.g. one on Earth, one on the moon, one in orbit somewhere); each would receive some signal affected by noise, but the noise would be different for each (such as the atmo

I think that's where short-sighted financial gain leads AMD to. Where's the money? -- datacenter. So let's focus the good stuff on datacenter exclusivelly. What about "the rest" (gamers, hobbist, students)? There&#x

Interesting. The effects of a very-low-carb diet, one such that triggers preponderently-ketone metabolism, are very-rapid-onset (24-48h) and massive. They can also be obiectively measured, by measuring the amount of ketones in urine and in

The economic models are concerned with accurately modelling the impact of normal/expected events/variations. The event you propose is not one worth modelling (being impossible).

"Live high, train low" You do need good oxygen supply during training in order to fully utilize (and grow) the muscles. Low oxygen (such as found at high altitude) is good for the non-training periods (e.g. during sleep), where it
