yes, with 35BHP to move my truck I would certainly expect to be running continuously at maximum load ;) (admittedly it's probably closer to the size/weight of a kei truck than modern half-ton monstrosities lol)

it's always mildly funny how much engine power has increased over the years. my bottom-of-the-line SUV gets 184 BHP, these shipped with 35-50 BHP depending on model lol

regardless of 7800 vs 8800, the next-gen launch will also come with USB4 built into at least the higher-end chipsets, and that's worth waiting for if you are an enthusiast who cares about expansion. that's why I think there's

Colder and hotter are temperatures and not measures of power consumption. A soldering iron can put out 75w at 800F, a cpu can put out 200w and top out at 175F. In the modern era, AMD chips are actually known for running hotter for quite a n

“my os distro ships with SELinux on by default and I can’t break out of the sandbox!” ok, so, if you don’t like the sysadmin’s choices then use a different system? Seems like an obviously self-inflicted pain.

ECC support is segmented to Pro APUs only. Which aren't even sold to consumers. Yeah the lack of iGPU support (plex encoding, VMs, etc) pushed me to the 7100 last time I did a homeserver build. It's been muddled on intel's

Is SELinux also fascistic? Grow up. if someone wants to sell systems where the only supported configuration is SELinux, why should that be illegal?

Ecc is still segmented on the amd apu lineup, including desktop models (and for many years these were the only models with integrated graphics!), and there literally is no way for consumers to even buy some of the parts that AMD has segment

SLI was ultimately killed by the rise of TAA. Interleaving frames breaks the assumptions of TAA models about the presence of temporal history. That's why NVIDIA went down the path of building a better TAA model/upscaler instead.

Yeah, as I’ve said before: the root problem here is that the EU wants to outlaw apples business model. People don’t think of it that way, they tell themselves all the reasons why that’s a good thing, but that’s ultimately what it is - a leg
