    NVIDIA Becomes First Company Ever to Hit $4 Trillion

    I am not sure if there anything (but really anything ?) special for an easy to resale by banks assets to be used for collateral...

    The 100 Best Games of the 21st Century (Giant Bomb)

    I think it is a good thing we got out of ranking game with x/10 score on graphics, sound, etc.... and do an average. Last time you saw movie ranking that used something like that ? It can be sure interesting to have a list of best soundtrack in game with Doom 2016, etc... sound design, graphic...

    AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE Tested, Fills Gap Between RX 9060 XT and RX 9070

    Lot of room in between the 9060xt and the 9070xt performance/price wise, 100% of the default die were unused yet, seem a non-brainer good one and if the 5070 start to be found at $550 (PNY at bestbuy that seem in stock right now), they would need to hit that $499. With a 9050/9060 gre could end...

    N00b configuration questions about NAS.

    I would have thought that it depends on your setup, on my home made NAS, OS is a small SSD to itself, the data is simple ext4 (the drive grouping on the software side, is just a group) no hardware side implication, does the Truenas, unraid, Synology of the world not offer that type of...

    Intel’s CEO: ‘We are not in the top 10’ of leading chip companies

    I am not so sure if edge AI (will be used in uncertain connectivity, large data like video in/latency matter cars of course, cellphone, gaming) but outside of that, giant integrator cloud option is just too good and too cheap to compete with. Having you fabs good enough to make SIMD/good at...

    Intel’s CEO: ‘We are not in the top 10’ of leading chip companies

    Who is #1 ? The comments is about leading too (and among all semiconductor related company, i.e. TSMC type included), are they leading the way or just being the biggest x86 sellers by far because of inertia, moat, x86, compiler-software, build-in infrastructure and closed x86 licensing ? That...

    NVIDIA Becomes First Company Ever to Hit $4 Trillion

    With that level of SIMD compute in the wil and being built, they would probably fund something else to do with it if the AI bubble pop (which is a bit strange of a concept in some way) and those compute would be developed to take advantage of Nvidia platform/hardware that already exist, like so...

    Critical Sudo Vulnerabilities Let Local Users Gain Root Access on Linux, Impacting Major Distros

    Exactly what I mean, way more often than not when an issue is found in an openSource project it was not by looking at the code, it was using it/testing a program that use it and finding something strange, exactly like it would have happened for a close library. That way more akin to a code...

    Rumor: Battlemage and Celestial may be delayed/cancelled

    The gap is still big, but I think what TMSC call 5 on Blackwell is a more advanced (N4P or something like that) incremental version of TSMC 5 than what Intel is using here. Exactly and a bit why the reception of it was a bit exaggerated (or naive to think they would be able to ship 8 million of...

And if you keep the same margin, that added cost get...

    AMD Debuts Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 Powered by RDNA 4, and FSR 4

    Sure, but attributing to drivers instead of windows/etc... update is different from say bad numbers and a relatively easy bad assumption to make. If their numbers are good... it does not matter much if it is game/windows/dx update or the drivers for the end users. Considering how large the...

    What AM5 Motherboard to Purchase?

    A lot of the reason to put a code base and compilation objects on a ramdisk instead of an SSD of 10-15 years ago or less common now. A big one was ssd drive write endurance for the intermediary and final output, which almost disappeared for large recent quality ssd. The other one was speed...

    Ubisoft Wants Gamers To Destroy All Copies of A Game Once It Goes Offline
