If growth continues linearly it will be less than 20tb. It is possible to fit that much data on a single physical drive even now, let alone in 500 years. 360gb is just not that much.

They changed their branding. Their 10nm node was renamed to Intel 7, their 7nm is now Intel 4. Since amount of nanometers doesn't really mean anything anymore that's good PR strategy that nicely represents state of their nodes bec

Most games use licensed engines, most AAA games use their own engines. Only 3 out of top 10 games in Steam use engine that support metal. More than a half of games in top 100 use engines that don't support metal. In this month we have

I think only company with more transistors on the chip is Cerebras.

It's scaled up M1. No new cores, no new modules. Just more of everything. I would've been disappointed if it was called m2.

Intel chips eat much more energy than AMD ones. Comparatively to AMD gap isn't that big(and it's mostly due to better node).

It will be definitely handy for finetuning large models due to huge ram, but in training from scratch 3090 is certainly better. They are seemingly cooking 128 core GPU, if they release this kraken it will beat 3090 in pretty much everything

Intel is releasing heterogeneous chips in less than a month. Both Intel and AMD bet heavily on 3d stacking and it should hold Apple off desktop. A lot of Apple advantage is due to node advantage and I expect that AMD will start getting late

Desktop games and mobile games are not the same. On mobile pretty much every heavy game uses either UE or Unity. High end PC games use custom engines that are heavily tuned for x86 and use different APIs. Metal port would be expensive and n

Intel was stuck on the same node for 6 years. Alder lake looks very promising, Alchemist GPUs same. They will have CPU performance crown on laptops in less than 6 months. Power usage will be much better than now. Their 3d stacking strategy

Have you seen GPU prices lately? Desktop 3070 level performance in portable laptop for 3500$ is not that bad of a deal. If they make Mac Mini around 2500$ it would be pretty competitive in PC space.

They never before had good graphics in mainstream products. And there's no official support for any of the industry standard API(to be fair there is MoltenVK, but not much traction yet), yes, there is support for Metal in UE4/5 an

Only time that I can remember HBM being used with some kind of integrated graphics was strange Intel NUC with Vega GPU and IIRC correctly they were on the same die.

You are mistaken. On both PS3 and Xbox 360 CPU and GPU is on different chips and made by different vendors(CPU made by IBM and GPU by Nvidia in case of PS3 and CPU by IBM and GPU by ATI for Xbox 360). Nonetheless in PS4/XOne generation

> Not sure if it will be available, but 400GB/s is way too much for 8 cores to take up. You would need some sort of avx512 to hog up that much bandwidth. If we assume that frequency is 3.2Ghz and IPC of 3 with well optimized code(

There is sub 100ms input lag in good conditions with cloud gaming, and it goes as low as 60, and it will be better as more servers come online as everything from gets optimized for latency. Is it worse than PC with same games? Yes. Is it wo

Wiki says that they sold almost 7 million in 2020 globally. To get to top 10 it's required to sell something like 2 million units globally.

And yet forecasts say that only 50% of VW and BMW sales will come from EV by 2030 with tens of billions poured into conversion they say that it isn't possible to go any faster. And they are faster than other major players.

VW expects 50% of cars sold to be electric by 2030, Ford expects 40% to be electric by 2030 and they say that they can't go much faster. Other's manufacturers forecasts are more dire. I'm afraid that it could be too little to

Established players rarely grow quarterly sales(in units) by 70% in one year on top of 40% growth previous year, with expected almost doubling next year.

That's very impressive indeed and if they can keep growing like this few more years they will definitely have more revenue than any other car company and might be top 1 by cars produced in less than a decade.

For reference: they did 139k in Q3 2020 and 184k in Q1 2021. That's pretty nice growth, but still much less than any major car company.

G 5000 series is marginally worse than 5000 series in CPU performance and it is worse than any discrete GPU that was released in last 5 years if we are talking GPU performance.

I don't like bad software. Almost every Electron app that I've ever encountered was quite bad. They are laggy. Installers in hundreds of megabytes and installed apps are even bigger than that. Yes, it's not that much on it&#x
