Specifically, the way ammo factories work is sorta analogous to a home reloading setup... they setup a production line with a particular caliber, they run a batch, they take it apart and set up the next caliber, run a batch etc. It is not

any murmurs if PC Engines are thinking about a replacement platform yet? Maybe something like the N100/N300 series? I see quite a few firewall appliances with those. Or maybe the space is too saturated these days with competitors fro

I'm utterly unqualified to discuss using it in practice but it always seemed like PMEM would have required a fundamental idiom shift away from the DRAM concept. If you treat it like memory it's always going to be slow memory. If

The matrix multiplication hardware and data types aren’t standardized yet. Also, the M1 Max has more bandwidth than an epyc Milan to actually feed all of that. It’s about the same bandwidth as a PS5, but in a mobile package, with none of th

Oh, so, I got lost in the appendix explaining network topology, but to circle back on this: yes, yield, and cost. It would be a very large total area too even if it yielded well. Just too expensive in general. Alder Lake 8P8E: 215.25mm2 A

Area. Golden Cove (12-series) and Raptor Cove (13-series, except for some of the lower SKUs which get rebranded Golden Cove) are obscenely massive. It is something close to 2x the area of zen3 per core, which is not even on a 5nm tier n

E-cores as a concept are fine. The problem is that the current e-core implementations all suck. Alder/Raptor lake awkwardly bolted e-cores onto the existing ring/cache structure and they're 1.5x the latency of any other cor
