Copying and pasting a press release does not make for a good comment. Especially because you don't seem to have understood what you pasted in, or the context of this discussion. What you're demonstrating is several more new featur

The V series is a one-off thing Intel did, but they don't have a direct successor planned. Previously, they had a P series of mobile parts in between the U and H series (Alder Lake and Raptor Lake). Before that, they had a different na

There are already DDR5 CUDIMMs at and above 8000 MT/s, and 9600 MT/s has been demonstrated but none are currently in stock. By the time AMD ships Zen 6 desktop processors, the market should be ready with memory modules that will m

AMD's CPUs don't support more than 5600 MT/s without overclocking; they're still using the same IO die from Zen 4, so their memory controller is pretty outdated. Zen 6 should introduce a new IO die with a better memory c

The 5700X has the same 8 cores as a 5800X3D but with a slightly higher maximum clock speed (the X3D CPUs tend to have lower maximum voltages because the extra cache die doesn't tolerate voltages as high as the CPU cores do). The only

And even when AMD does move their mainstream desktop processors to a new socket, there's very little reason to expect them to be trying to accommodate multi-GPU setups. SLI and Crossfire are dead, multi-GPU gaming isn't coming

I think if Marvell were doing that, they would have more part numbers in their catalog.

No, I'm not talking about LACP, I'm talking about configuring four 50Gb links on the switch to operate as a single 200Gb link as if those links were wired up to a single QSFP connector instead of four individual SFP connectors. Th

Ah, good point. Though if splitter cables are an option, then it seems more likely that the 50G ports could be combined into a 200G cable. Marvell's product brief for that switch chip does say it's capable of operating as an 8x 20

That switch appears to have 2x 400G ports, 2x 200G ports, 8x 50G ports, and a pair of 10G ports. So unless it allows bonding together the 50G ports (which the switch silicon probably supports at some level), it's not going to get you m

It seems appropriate for a site that also uses 12% of my screen's vertical space for a fixed one-line navigation header containing only four links. Getting in the way of the content seems to be a theme.

I give apps a one strike policy on notification spam. If they do it at all , I'm uninstalling it until I actually need to use it next (if I can't find an alternative). And the same goes for getting in my way to beg for a review o

Please stop calling people deranged for expecting Mozilla to do the right thing without dissembling. Having your previous such comment flagged and killed should have been sufficient reminder to you that you're behaving inappropriately

Anything requiring messing with about:config is an unreasonable way to treat non-technical users. And the point I've already made that you're ignoring is that the complexity of the workaround is not the problem—the necessity o

Price is irrelevant. Mozilla's behavior with Pocket was at odds with Mozilla's stated goals and values.

They literally forced every user to either accept the invasion of the proprietary service, or have to take extra steps to disable it on each of their devices. Neither of those is actually a reasonable, respectful way to treat your users.

You don't really seem to be trying to fairly describe the problem. With Pocket, Mozilla forced it on everyone, then two years later they bought the service, then many years later they eventually killed it for everyone. They didn't

Is this entirely NVIDIA-specific, or can it do any diagnostics for other GPUs?

Are you seriously trying to claim that Apple's total system wall power numbers are appropriate for comparing against an AMD or Intel processor TDP number? You really are trying to ensure the numbers you calculate are bullshit.

I wouldn't trust any USB-attached storage to be reliable enough for anything more than periodic incremental backups and verification scrubs. USB devices disappear from the bus too often for me to want to rely on them for online storage

Please never divide anything by TDP. Use actual power measurements, unless you're trying to ensure your numbers end up being bullshit. (In particular, any number someone claims is a TDP for an Apple processor is made up , because Ap

Link? An adapter allowing a M.2 SATA SSD to be used in a 2.5" SATA enclosure is cheap and dead simple: just needs a 5V to 3.3V regulator. But that doesn't help. Connecting a M.2 NVMe SSD to a SATA host port would be much more exot
