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...

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.

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...

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...

"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...

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

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.

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

What comes next is pure speculation on my behalf so... 1080 Ti is a pretty good rasterizer, capable of 4k and 1080@144Hz. A GPU that just improves a couple dozens % of raw power won't be very appealing for many as an upgrade path. Throw in RT and people will want it, will need it... unless RT...

No, I am here to evaluate the performance, and say that given the number of transistors, the functionality, the fabrication process and the architecture, compared to Nvidias own previous generation this 20xx are a rip off given the price. I am here to say that given those results in most cases...

Try harder.

Selectively quoting, typing lame tags and calling others kids and children while giving no single argument, does not make a great impression. Keep trying.

People who think this is Ok are probably the same who were happy with the paltry Intel HEDT offers before Ryzen. After consistently upgrading my computers every two years for almost 20 years I simply found no compelling reason to keep upgrading. My current i7 is 7 years old and just now I am...

Given price increase and RT being only useful at 1080p/60fps at most it is a rip off.

What kind of customer blames himself for a laptop that has a sub par thermal solution for the CPU used? If it can't handle the heat it makes no sense putting the CPU in there in the first place. So you got a powerful laptop but you shouldn't use all that power because it is a a laptop? Then...

NO I don't want any features at all If I need anything I'll ge a third party program. Don't patch my fucking OS unless it is a security issue thanks.

Semi-Annual Features? What a steaming pile of crap. I despise this "OS as a service". I am not ready to jump to Linux yet but I want to get control over my computer back so in the end I will be forced into it.

No wonder WD is shutting down a Factory, demand for their not so reliable 5400 drives at higher prices than HGST highly reliable 7200 drives can't be high. Given that Seagate is mostly crap and HGST drives are mostly gone my only hope is Toshiba.

Didn't they patch the same telemetry into Windows 7?

Many people can't remember how awful a single core was.... and thanks to AMD in a few years 4 cores will feel awful too. First the cores then slowly the software will adapt, that is how this works I usually upgraded my computer every 2-3 years, however I am still on a seven year old i7 HEDT...

People in Europe pay what? an average of 25% of their income? and then VAT on product purchases that can go up to the low twenties. Meanwhile companies like Google et al can deduct VAT payments AND get to pay very low percent of their income thanks to shit like that double irish. We are...

While I agree that guns are tools, given that their purpose is to kill misusing is what? Not killing or something? Now instead of pulling anecdotes with some statistics of persons killed with hammers by year/hammers per household we could start making informed assumptions. I suspect that...

Yaah and selective quoting to break an analogy out of context isn't trolling at all.

Did I say anything about removing the right or regulating it? nope. But it doesn't matter you went full ad hominem without addressing what I said. Furthermore when I was talking about abusing a 200 years old law I was thinking about the All writs act and how some laws of the past don't fare...

You guys can do as you please, it's not my business. Mind you we got a flourishing gun industry here, and the sport/hunt thing isn't really what is driving it. That makes you wonder.... Anyways there are historic reasons for how things are and I just think people don't really care.about the...

Most of the guns available are not designed for hunting or "sport" unless you are talking of shoting humans here, albeit that is highly illegal nowadays you know.

It does mean that those who want to own a tool designed with the only purpose of killing someone should not use the amendment as a justification. People who own guns do not so to defend against an oppressive government. Do for many other reasons, but not for the reason they were given the...

Regarding the game... I am sick of the thought police. Regarding the guns... I lol at the mere though of citizens going up in arms to defend themselves from an oppressive government. Extensive surveillance Para-militarized police Progressive worsening of economic, social and cultural status...

I may not have a Gooole account, but If I send a mail to someone who has one then my data is gathered and processed.. I did not agree to that. I guess you expect some king of privacy when you are on the phone. Mail should not be different. So no is not as simple as don't like it don't use it. It...

Except that is not what the law says. There are good reasons for protecting people from themselves. You don't want some asshole drunk speeding on a street lose control of the car and kill your children. That is an extreme, but that is why society as a whole is regulated. Because it does not...

If you think there are options you are ignoring the differences between all the services you listed the concept of critical mass, or social media for that matter. Name a single real competitor for Facebook. You can't, period. And after acquiring Whatsapp and LYING to regulators about data...

Well... Europe is trying to discourage a business model where the user is the product. Privacy is important in Europe. don't like it, close business and go elsewhere. That or develop a business model where you can offer your services without spying on everyone. We already know how things...

I waited for a year for the first iPhone, but found it to be quite disappointing. It set a new path of integration, as a whole was kind of novel but none of it's parts or design were when taken individually. Capabilities wise the first iPhone felt more like a prototype in beta than a real...
