    Digital Foundry Analyzes Google's Stadia Platform

    This: "Google has also demonstrated scalability on the graphics side, with a demonstration of three of the AMD GPUs running in concert." What does that mean? Does it require coding? Is it already done at the engine level? Are we talking some kind of Crossfire for CPU/GPU? Does that mean...

    Intel Comet Lake Processors Could Pack 10 Cores

    I guess Jim Keller will infuse some life in Intel but CPU wise anything Lake-ended can be considered Zombie Lake, dead in the water.

    Intel Comet Lake Processors Could Pack 10 Cores

    My only concern for my next upgrade from my now ancient i7 HEDT is how badly do I need the PCIe lanes (not so much the cores) so I can decide if I go top Ryzen or bottom Threadripper with Zen 2. It really surprises me how after so many years at some point I completely lost track of Intel...

    Department of Justice Charges Huawei and Its Executives with 23 Crimes

    So eavesdropping on an allied head of state is somehow less wrong? I don't think so. But my point is talking about "American ingenuity" with all the crap they have been caught red-handed in recent years is baffling to say the least. And all the rhetoric about corporations would be more...

    Department of Justice Charges Huawei and Its Executives with 23 Crimes

    "To the detriment of American ingenuity" Sorry, you lost me there. I can't forget all those accusations about Huawei spying and to me that is the pot calling the kettle black. The only state spying I am fully aware of was the US on Merkel and all that stuff about "intercepting" HDD shipping...

    Drones Build Reconfigurable Sun Shades

    Oh how nice, chilling on the grass while quadcopters buzz around at 80 decibels like giant wasps.

    Study Suggests Artificial Intelligence GDP Impact Comparable to Steam Engine

    Well I also can't define blue, but when something isn't blue I know it. A recurrent nightmare for AI researchers is achieving AI -the real deal- somehow and having no clue of how that happened.

    Study Suggests Artificial Intelligence GDP Impact Comparable to Steam Engine

    Dynamic adaptation to unknown and unrelated tasks to begin with. Everything called AI in news nowadays are kind of sophisticated statistical tools. There is more intelligence in a guppy even if it can't play go than in anything made by humankind combined. There is something subtle to the...

    Wireless Carriers Begin Using Differentiation to Throttle Youtube and Netflix

    Netflix, YouTube... pay for their connection and are not spamming to the world. it's me using my paid connection who is asking them to give me something. If no one connects to them and ask for some content, they don't use any bandwidth at all. The only difference If I connect to my uncle at...

    Study Suggests Artificial Intelligence GDP Impact Comparable to Steam Engine

    The categories discussed... computer vision natural language virtual assistants robotic process automation advanced machine learning While a true AI would be capable of any of those, even when combined those don't make for an AI.

    Wireless Carriers Begin Using Differentiation to Throttle Youtube and Netflix

    If I am paying for a given bandwidth Is up to me and just me to decide how to use it. Isn't up to them what I am doing over the connection, be it Netflix, YouTube or Wikipedia, I am already paying for the bandwidth and they have no right to extort whatever company I am dealing with just...

    Near-Perfect mGPU Scaling in Strange Brigade

    What I never found explained in detail is why SFR can't work properly. After all is the only mGPU that makes sense, and even seems is should be natural for multimonitor setups. They always like to talk about paralelization, they work market segmentation in part by adding or removing cores. so...

    Near-Perfect mGPU Scaling in Strange Brigade

    Well it is hard for it not to be niche if most of the time it doesn't work or gains are minimal.

    Near-Perfect mGPU Scaling in Strange Brigade

    I never understood why mGPU is so hard... DirectX 12 Explicit mGPU is a matter of developers not wanting to fit the bill. But engines have been consolidating for a few years now, and everyone uses the same ones, why don't those support it natively? And pretty sure Nvidia/AMD don't like...

    NVIDIA Controls AIB Launch and Driver Distribution

    The Voodoo 2 was an amazing piece of hardware The spin the reviewer gives can be very important, Intel's got better single core performance vs AMD , no need to make that up, but the way it was magnified by some reviewers made very hard to get the whole picture. The reviews were pretty...
