    Arrow Lake 2024 (and beyond)

    Clarification : Thermal Design Power is a marketing term effectively. - The actual term , from electrical design, is Total Dissipated Power This is a very real number. It's the wattage a device or system uses when 'completely on', you can measure it. It's the 'completely on' bit that...

    New Fukushima robotic work

    Very much this. ---- You have to understand the initial thought patterns behind the very first reactors. At first it was pure science, "self-sustaining reactions " was the goal.

    New Fukushima robotic work

    I think it might be easier to sample plasma from the sun, than the way they are doing it. The only way it's going to work is precision directional drilling. Just pipes. No electronics/fiberoptics/electrics.... Oil wells have no cameras ! ------- Corium is a new solid created by humanity...

    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    I'd agree, but in the old days, I'd shutoff my computer to unplug/plugin monitors, so I've never really noticed. I think It's actually 'windows multi-monitor' that's got the issues ....the Nvidia multimonitor is a copy of that. I've run dual monitors since a 15" CRT was the latest thing...

    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    I've had a chance to play around a little, I can expand on my review. ---- - The upsampling is fantastic. I have cable TV / Prime / Netflix.

    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    I can only assume massive file storage systems. An 8k camera recording 60 FPS is doing about 2 billion pixels/sec. ----------------------- Those RED camera's have thermal exhaust ports, because they use active cooling for that record rate. They use dual CFExpress I believe as memory. :ROFLMAO:

    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    Yep, the 'production' 4k monitors at B+H are $15-35k, There are no listings for 8k. I hafta say, I was quite surprised by the prices on the RED 8k cameras. You could get into those for about $20,000, which is quite cheap, given the cost of any production grade cameras. Certainly not 'hobbyist'...
