I don't know that there have been very many compelling reasons to do step upgrades each generation for a long time now. The going from Zen2 to first x3d chip, maybe. That's about the only one I can think of in the past ... several years. Then again, my minimum threshold for cost vs performance...

Die size is different, but not hugely different. Ultra 9 285 is 243mm2 For comparison, nVidia 4080 is similar TDP (not exact) and die size of 379mm2 So yeah, the GPU is bigger, but not like a 4090 is bigger. And that's before we get into the fact that not all that area is heat producing -...

Right. Hence the Slot 1 comment.

Need a double/2.5 slot cooler. Wonder how long before we start to see GPU-style cooling on the CPU. Kinda makes me long for the old Slot 1 style CPUs

“Our Thesis: Arm’s suit against Qualcomm likely ends in a negotiated license, granting the chipmaker rights to customize Arm architecture, but at higher royalty rate than Nuvia had been paying.” Yup.

What a value.

Like pretty much every other console vendor does.

Infinite Power from Gigabyte is right!

It’s niche is remakes?

Don’t worry, isn’t there a post around here announcing 6G? Surely that will fix everything. Just like 5G did, and LTE, and WiFi AXBGHBTQ+

This is true. But it’s usually the R&D from developing the high end that goes into making the lower tiers

So.. I read a lot of Kindle books. And I love reading on an eInk screen. It's easy on the eyes and easy to read. My first few Kindle devices - loved them. The screen could have been just ~a bit~ bigger, but mostly they nailed it. The devices having like 2-week battery life was awesome. The...

The lumber that we use for the ProArt PA602 Wood Edition is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), so you can trust that it was sourced from responsibly managed forests. *cough* home depot 2x4's.

This is a good example of why I pretty much stopped playing Blizzard games. They are horrible at balance. They always have a tendancy to swing to extremes with updates, then oscillating back the other way with the nerf bat to the other exteme. They can never just find a happy medium, or leave...

Hmm. Interesting... I could make a good educated guess as to which way it would go based on who wins the election, but I'll keep my guess to myself. I'm really just surprised they stated it like this and made it obvious that their decision is being politically influenced. I mean, many...

Yeah. I mean, you could Dark Mode it, or maybe bring the UI elements up to something a bit more modern... but no need to gut and overhaul it when all it needs is a little reskin to make it modern. Wish Microsoft would learn that lesson too.

I've been done chasing it for a while. Anymore and I'm thinking - give it a few years and we won't need GPUs at all, all the graphics will just be AI derived, and probably cloud-based. We'll just have to live with occasional "hallucinations" - can't be any worse than clipping issues, frame...

I was about to right "It's just a matter of time before Microsoft cans Bioware too" Then I remembered - even Microsoft stayed away from buying EA... and Microsoft was out there hoovering up anything they could possibly get money to pay for, even if it had syphilis and obvious herpes.

Hmm... so does this mean their GPU division is getting canned? I mean, the only reason they really started it was to chase the mining dollars, and then I figured they kept it around to chase the AI stuff after that. The dGPU market for gamers alone just isn't that big to chase relative to the...
