Ah, wasn't looking that low. That gets you half the memory channels, half the memory bandwidth, half the PCIe, and 40% of the ethernet bandwidth. They go for $100-$110 here, doesn't seem worth saving $50, at least if you plan to

Indeed, ideally 3 companies to help ensure there's not some agreement to raise prices. Apple's largely not in the same market, but is pushing the edge when it comes to performance per watt, even shipping products gasp without f

I blame Intel for that. They pushed the clock speed high for silly small perf gains. AMD could take the high road, then media would brag about how fast Intel is and AMD would lose market share.

My summary is AMD is hurt MUCH less than Intel by lowering the power. One example from the article: Cinebench R23 multithread: Ryzen 7950X 230 -> 125 watts = 95% Ryzen 7950X 230 -> 105 watts = 93% Ryzen 7950X 230 -> 65

From what year? Maybe 2010? The type that would feel pretty warm when touched, especially on the top edge? I have a 27" Dell U2719DC from 2 years ago, pretty average monitor, 2560x1440, includes a USB hub, and has a USB-c ports for ch

Have you looked recently? I've been tracking DDR5 motherboard (I think the perf is worth it), MicroATX (don't need fullsize), I don't need blinking lights, watercooling systems, wifi, or exotic sound systems, so I go for rela

The 7700/7900/7950 have a 65 watt TDP, idle much lower, and can be underclocked if you want lower. I certainly wouldn't consider 65 watts as "power hungry as heck". Did you by chance read an Intel i9 review? Yes,

Keep in mind the prices are changing quickly as of late. AMD brought out the 7700, 7900, and 7950 (non-x) that are cheaper, generate less heat, and include a fan. There's also been pretty heavy discounts on the 7700x/7900x/

I've noticed grated or powered cheese tasting less and less like cheese, presumably because of cellulose, anticaking, and anything else that they put in that costs less than cheese. I've switched to grating cheese myself, even for

Indeed. Much like Apple. Apple has 4 ish laptops, that generally don't change much year to year. Compared to Dell or HP who have MANY more models, often seems like 4 models or so per market (edu, business, consumer, gaming, etc.) an

I'm coming from go, what did you mean by "if you lean towards channels"? Did you mean std::sync::mpsc? Seems like a rather crippled channel if you can only have a single consumer.

Telsa has been relentless in simplifying the part count of a tesla. Each part needs to designed, tracked, inventoried, installed, verified, made available for repairs, increases the size of the factory, and decreases the rate of production

The structural part of cars, at least any in the under $100k range, are not made of forged parts. Sure various high stress suspension pieces are forged, but those aren't the ones being replaced by die cast assemblies.

I first noticed it in Nevada, dramatically thinner nozzle. At first I thought I was using some diesel or something else not compatible. Then the smell hit as the gas started flowing. I have noticed that driving an EV makes you much more a

What was missing? HP donated some 2U itaniums to my university, I installed Redhat, downloaded from Redhat. All the expected packages where there, and it just worked.

The equation is a bit different for Teslas. The battery or even a fraction of a battery has substantial value on the used market. There's even a section on ebay just for Tesla batteries.

Never seen a Tesla review claiming the seats were inferior. In a few they were claimed they claimed they were among the best, but most reviews don't mention the seats in particular.

Keep in mind that, at least currently, most EVs charge at home, off hours, when there's a surplus. It's not much power, on average it's less than a single 120v socket. Sadly only Tesla knows the totals, but I'd be surpr

My longest trip in my Tesla was just west of Sacramento to just past Denver, 1150 miles. The car charges at between 600 and 1000 miles per hour when it's nearly empty. Our stops were in the 15 minute range, often as the last person re

I've had a Tesla model 3, since 2019. Every time I used the car to get to a Tesla charger it worked, zero to a few times a month. Success rate at 3rd party chargers has been about 50%. Sure that's anecdotal, but I read a few (mo

As a battery ages it's capacity decreases. That's noticeable in that it will carry a load for less time, and the voltage it can sustain decreases. On most phones you realize that when an old phone goes from 15%, you do something

I believe it's still true. Apple's swift/obj c++ don't use garbage collection. Android default java/kitlin does, so android is inherently more memory intensive.

I read a position piece on plastics. Claimed that the best solution was to burn all plastics, to generate electricity, which would be fed into the grid. Claimed that optimally burned (right temp, pressure, and O2) that the resulting smoke

I do feel like technology has let the public down. Ransomware, identity theft, fake news, social media, etc. Things like memory safety used to be discussed in the most technical of circles. However computer security is impacting society

Yes, but the CPU pipeline is years long. So years before Alpha, Sparc, MIPS, PA-Risc and related CPUs had to decide if the R&D for a next generation CPU made sense in the face of the announced Itanium which most believes was going to d

Well Intel's original plan was to keep x86 32 bit, forcing anyone that needed more into IA64. Fortunately AMD came out with x86-64, and when it was clear that IA64 wasn't going to be competitive, Intel brought x86-64 to their chi
