Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

They were not power tuned yet being the reason given by phoronix/nvidia... tdp number, specially with lpddr5x/all cores on the same chiplet do point for to be a really power efficient platform, like grace was... -
CChadD replied to the thread NVIDIA "Vera" CPU Benchmarked: Beating Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC.x86 predates ARM by 8 years. ARM as designed by Acron was never really intended to be a big business compete with Intel in all things design. The 1980s arm chips were in no ways competition for x86. The other CPU companies your talking about...

CChadD replied to the thread Microsoft revokes Office 2019 perpetual licenses, then edits their website to gaslight customers..There are many companies using Libre. Nike, Hitachi, Lockhead Martin, BASF, Pfizer, AMD, IBM. All of those companies are known to have large Libre install bases. Do they also use MS office for some uses? Sure probably. They aren't open source...

CChadD replied to the thread NVIDIA "Vera" CPU Benchmarked: Beating Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC.Intel has long ago shut the door on licensing the ISA. At this point as they have allowed the competition to grow, they would have to agree to terms they will simply NEVER agree to. Having 2 players in any license talk is a huge issue as well...

CChadD replied to the thread Microsoft revokes Office 2019 perpetual licenses, then edits their website to gaslight customers..Hardly true. The biggest reason to use Libre is that its open source. If you WANT a feature request it. If you find a bug report it. Having said that Libre is always evolving and adding new things. They are aware of most of the features they...

What features do you find that you miss? I have yet to find a formula that doesn't work the same way in LibreOffice as in Excel. The charts look a bit different, and I tend to prefer the Excel look, but that isnt really a big deal. Even solver...

Maybe but now all modern arm phone cpu (mandatory for those) and AWS Graviton, google server cpu, AmpereOne, Snapdragon X2 and Nvidia N1X has both (SVE and SVE2), Apple going for SME-SME2 (or arm going into Apple AMX and calling it SME...) only...

CChadD replied to the thread NVIDIA "Vera" CPU Benchmarked: Beating Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC.I'm not suggesting ARM is perfect. Just that it is 100% a viable solution, and as capable as x86 today. Frankly more capable in the future. ARM doesn't have just two companies and a Chinese knockoff company working on it. ARM does require a...

CChadD replied to the thread NVIDIA "Vera" CPU Benchmarked: Beating Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC.What I have been saying about ARM servers for years. Once a company makes the leap, they are now in a situation where they might consider a different ARM hardware vendor. Going back to a x86 platform is a huge hurdle. I know some people write off...

CChadD reacted to Lakados's post in the thread NVIDIA "Vera" CPU Benchmarked: Beating Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC with Like.
This is why getting the fabs up and running for 3'rd parties is so critical for Intel; there is a very plausible reality where Intel's fabs are worth substantially more than the CPU and design side of things. Intel and AMD can happily trade x86...

CChadD replied to the thread NVIDIA "Vera" CPU Benchmarked: Beating Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC.Its not like X86 is that general of a compute ISA either. There is a reason they have to keep extending it. You may well be right in that x86 might be treated as an accelerator for legacy things. I'm sure that prospect scares the hell out of...

not sure looking at apple or nvidia core count if that what going on here. 88 cores was not an high amount in phoronix benchmark (that went from 64 to 256 x86 cores in its competition), same for Apple M5 cpu, they often have similar or smaller...

CChadD replied to the thread NVIDIA "Vera" CPU Benchmarked: Beating Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC.Traditionally. That paradigm is about to get smashed to pieces. That is my take away from benchmarks from the very latest ARM server parts. There is nothing keeping the ARM ISA from being just as performant PER core. It used to be you get 1.5x...

ARM has an intrinsic advantage when you are dealing with a system that has to handle a crapload of small, simple tasks. In a highly transactional environment where the CPU is mostly performing fetch tasks, having a crapload of weak cores can...

Funny detail I noticed on the wife's laptop a few years ago, a few months after skype got killed: removing skype from an office 2019 install is not supported. Pretty annoying, since she has to keep it installed for the few times per year she...

I know this one liner is totally cliche at this point, but this is one place it probably belongs: "If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing"
