    It's fun when first time seeing these nonsense, saying something they don't understand what's going on themselves. It's now a bit annoying seeing these nonsense pouring shit into people's mind.

    Anybody here running Debian?

    I used Debian for years, then switched to Ubuntu, then switched back to Debian. Ubuntu used to have a lot of bells and whistles. Good hardware support. Lots of small utilities. Easy customization. But now it has more and more bloatware. Debian used to not very user friendly, but nowadays it is...

    Nvidia has got us.

    From pure tech point of view, nvidia does have much better product than amd. The frame rate numbers from mid/low tiers may be close. But the whole system, including software, nvidia is more mature and versatile. Amd did not pull out of a 4090 rival. This not only makes them look weak, also makes...

    Only if AMD has really good products, otherwise it is tech monopoly. Not much we can do.

    Dr. Ian Cutress Explains The Hype Around RISC-V

    Hype is good 😃 If something can not have hype, probably it does not deserve interest. I don’t see riscv is over hyped.

    Computex 2023: NVIDIA Keynote Address by CEO Jensen Huang

    Yes we somehow hate the greedy NVIDIA as gamers. But at least I myself have been constantly amazed by NVIDIA's innovations and engineering marvels. Jensen Huang is the best combination of technology and business vision.

    MediaTek to adopt Nvidia GPU in flagship mobile chip by next year

    Good to know MTK & NVidia worked on laptop chips since 2021. Looks like it worked well, so they now extend to mobile chip. Good move to ditch the ARM GPU. Here is a quick search find...

    Intel Publishes "X86-S" Specification For 64-bit Only Architecture

    This is really a big move. Good to see Intel is proactively moving forward instead of sitting still on its own legacy. The legacy 32-bit support is actually a great protection for Intel. There are so many ancient applications there at the server side. You never know what may happen if drop the...

    MediaTek to adopt Nvidia GPU in flagship mobile chip by next year

    Samsung works with AMD for mobile GPU. The last generation is a failure. It is more difficult than expected. Now MTK works with NVidia. I do not think it will succeed at the 1st generation. It will take many years. Not sure if MTK has the patience. On the other hand, Qualcomm mobile GPU is...

    RISC averse: Here's why Intel, AMD and Arm may have to up the ante to deal with Open Source hardware

    I heard the same. Still too much legacy instructions to maintain. It is a burden. AMD SVP for epyc said that they tried comparing riscv vs x86. The performance difference is less than 5%. So it is really about a clean slate and engaging all players in industry and academia for innovation and...

    RISC averse: Here's why Intel, AMD and Arm may have to up the ante to deal with Open Source hardware

    Glad to see this happening. This is the way. The pure fundamental knowledge such as instruction set, is better to be open for wider adoption. It is good for innovation. The implementation and engineering effort how to bring the knowledge into real world product, is how the money/profit is...

    Activision Blizzard CEO Says AI Will Have "Profound Impact" On Games

    I play EA FIFA game now and then. I really hoped AI would make the game more fun like the teammates can make better off-ball run. But instead, EA uses AI to script the game to an unbearable level and push people to spend more money to buy better cards. So in the end of the day, it all depends...

    AMD Gains CPU Market Shares Against Intel

    I guess an important factor is production. AMD can not get enough slots from TSMC to saturate the market. Intel has more than enough fab production power.

    Looking for insight on keeping current AMD 7950X3D processor or swapping for Intel

    I would stick to what you have. This AM5 fuss is ugly indeed. But Intel is nowhere better. You will hit different problems with Intel platform. There are always pain in the ass for either system. The system is so complicated now, there is no perfect world. Better just save the trouble of...

    Intel Cuts Budget for Client and Data Center Groups, Layoffs Imminent

    These 2 groups used to be the cash cow for Intel. They have great benefits and higher bonus. Everyone wants to work in these 2.

    Linus Torvalds Cleaned Up the Intel LAM Code for Linux 6.4

    I liked my all metal FT02 very much. Recently changed into Lancool 216, which is better than I expected. Not the heavy metal as FT02, but the build quality is decent. Also big room, good air flow, very easy to install component. Overall well-thought design. You can take a look. It may surprise...
