    Graphics Tech startup from the 90s

    http://dansdata.com/prophet4500.htm https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/attack-blind-spot,482.html They both existed, and while the Parhelia was not really good for anything, the Kyro II had a few wins (like Serious Sam, if I recall correctly). Anandtech had a nice Kyro II review back in...

    Intel Files Patent For Software-Defined Super Cores, Allowing 2 or More Cores to Function as One

    I thought Intel already had patents related to so-called "reverse hyperthreading" going back over the years? Plus there were rumours about "rentable units" awhile back: https://hardwaretimes.com/intel-15th-gen-cpus-to-get-rentable-units-why-hyper-threading-is-going-away/

    Hollow Knight: Silksong Managed to Crash Multiple Storefronts on Launch Day Due to Overwhelming Sales

    There are. Quite a few publishers and devs are upset that gamers get so much value for $20. And there are indie devs angry about Team Cherry taking all the oxygen out of the room (figuratively speaking). Multiple launches have been postponed to avoid the surprise launch window of Silksong...

    AMD Could Be Prepping a Flagship Next-Gen GPU Featuring 96 Compute Units with Memory on a 512-Bit Bus

    True. Framegen is the main culprit. Or you can get 144 fps native if you don't use RT, assuming your card can push that natively. Which in some cases it can, especially if you're running 1440p. Yeah, 8k and up really doesn't have a market yet, and maybe never will. Dunno if I agree with...

    AMD Zen 6 Discussion

    Could be Vietnam or India. In any case they're probably getting hardware from some of the same industrial districts as GMK.

    AMD Could Be Prepping a Flagship Next-Gen GPU Featuring 96 Compute Units with Memory on a 512-Bit Bus

    The main problem I have with frame generation + upscaling is that you don't get input response that matches the indicated framerate. When your display is showing 144 fps (or higher) but you are actually getting 60 fps (or less), you're going to feel it in a twitchy shooter or what have you...

    Intel Core Ultra 9 285K & Ultra 5 245K CPU Review

    It's a shame because, of all the Z890 CPUs, the 265k is probably the one that makes the most sense at its pricepoint. It kind of is a bad CPU for desktop since it has roots in Meteor Lake that really hold it back.

    AMD Could Be Prepping a Flagship Next-Gen GPU Featuring 96 Compute Units with Memory on a 512-Bit Bus

    Am I the only one who still wants better raster performance, no RT, and no frame generation?

    Where does Framework source their boards etc?

    ULTRARAM, a Technology That Aims to Bridge the Gap Between DRAM and NAND, Makes Another Step to Volume Production

    If Optane's now-dead future was any indicator, it seems like what they're going to wind up with is persistent RAM that's not as fast as actual DRAM. Which would probably be the worst point about it. And yes, cost is usually an issue for anything that's new and novel due to economies of scale.

    Not sure why people are fixated on the Framework Strix Halo when the GMK unit seems much more common.

    Early Testing of ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X Shows AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme Performing Well When Using Ray Tracing And FSR at 1080p

    How many units like this do you think MS can sell within its relevant lifespan?

    AMD Zen 6 Discussion

    Yeah thanks for bringing that up here. It does look like the rumours that Medusa Halo had been nixed are overblown, though at the same time, consider the source. Still, IF TRUE, it sounds good for the future of Halo products. My interpretation of it is that AMD would rather produce Halo SoCs...

    It varies from one application to the next. While it would be absolutely fantastic for AMD to hit DDR5-8000 1:1, it won't be a total loss if they don't. That being said, if 1:2 becomes standard for Zen6, speeds in excess of 8000 should be easily attainable for tuners.

    AMD Zen 6 Discussion

    6.5 GHz seems likely. But what do I know, maybe they will aim for more? Might not be worth it, especially once they get to the X3D model. DDR5-8000 is being teased, though we don't know if that'll be 1:1 or not. Also I don't know if we have Det0x over here yet but I believe he's done...

    AMD Zen 6 Discussion

    Maybe don't expect 7 GHz. It'll probably be something more conservative than that. There's still a lot we don't know. Perhaps if some of the acerbic leakers follow us over here we can get a repeat of stuff leaked/teased elsewhere. Or people can just mine the Zen6 speculation thread from AT...
