LOL...I wonder if Intel has implemented any fixes for this and other security flaws in their "new" Comet Lake CPU?

Jesus fucking Christ! We've been using human pilots for how long and now all of sudden we need computers to do every fucking thing for us? How about a single button on the cockpit dash somewhere that totally disables/enables computer assistance of any kind? If the pilots can't gain control...

Stay off of social media. The best thing anyone can do in their lives.

WTF...do we really need tech gadgets like this? Let the damn game be played the way it has for over 100 plus years now. My god...

I'm still wondering if AMD will release Zen 2 in May for their 50th anniversary.

You can have my poutine but if you even attempt to take my hockey stick, you're a dead man walking. :)

A revenue drop for them should come from heavy fines. One years worth of profits should be the right amount to make them never collude again.

A Huang quote and a photo of Raja should never be in the same photo/meme. They're like heaven and hell or oil and water, they don't mix right. Unless you're going for the Intel is making a GPU, well that's certainly fucked up approach, then it makes perfect sense.

I'm personally looking forward to what Intel brings to the table. Be great to actually have a third competitor in the GPU space.

My beloved S5 just died about one month ago. Fat chance I'd ever buy a new phone anymore with the prices they want and yes, I can easily afford a $1000 phone before anyone asks. Would I ever buy one at that price, FUCK NO! I'm trying to find another S5 used or refurbished locally. It made...

The problem with Youtube, Facebook and many other social networks is they keep moving the field posts as to what hate speech and lunacy are. If they would just stick to the legal letter of the law regarding hate speech, they'd have a much better reputation for being fair to the left and the right.

It would be far easier to retro fit an existing fab then to completely start from scratch. It's not only about the money saved by not building a new facility but the infrastructure is already done for the existing fab.

The last time I read about TSMC's 7nm EUV node, they were having problems with heat and finding a suitable pellicle material. I guess they got that all figured out now. Time to go read some nerd porn. :)

I'm more interested in minimum frames and frame times. What difference does it make if you can do 150 fps+ if you have to endure any stutter. Disclaimer: These aren't cards I'll ever buy anyhow as I made a promise to myself years ago that I would never spend more than $500 CDN on any video...

We just ditched such a subsidy here in Ontario, Canada. IMHO, the only EV that should be getting any type of subsidy are ones that "regular" people can actually afford. If you're plunking down $100K for a Tesla here in Canada, you don't need a subsidy of $12,500 from taxpayers. My next car...

This guy apparently got a good overclock by undervolting.

Absolutely nailed it. :)

A good read about the lawsuit for those interested... https://www.extremetech.com/computing/284335-the-garbage-class-action-lawsuit-against-amds-bulldozer-is-headed-to-trial

That's the beautiful thing about capitalism though. I can tell Netflix to go hump a dead Moose instead of giving them money.

I just thought about this. It's also possible that they don't use a chiplet at all on the APU design. Could possibly shrink everything (CPU/GPU) down to 7nm and still have space left over for EDRAM or HBM. It will be interesting to see a naked APU to see what route AMD actually takes when...

No point in having a GPU there unless you can somehow manage to put a stack of HBM on there or even EDRAM to use as a frame buffer. AMD's APUS for desktop will continue to be bandwidth starved until they figure out how to address that issue. Better to stick to their APU design as it is right now.

Yes you are correct. His slides say "TBA...To be announced" at CES. Exactly. We're all Nostradamus when it comes to future product launches. :) Are you still around?

Just because he got the whole AMD didn't release Ryzen 3x000 CPUS or mention Navi at CES, doesn't mean what he said still won't come to pass. How many predictions did Nostradamus miss? :)

HOPEFULLY no more gimping by laptop makers on AMD hardware.

It's absolutely not that simple. Do you have a few million dollars lying around to "buy" congress? It doesn't matter what people want anymore, it's what they can afford to have changed.

It's a good thing they have more than one foundry then. Although I do get your point. Imagine they find a critical manufacturing bug at one foundry, it affects them all. Scary... As much as I dislike Intel, they need to stay in the game.

And I thought the Brembos on my Mustang were huge; that caliper is a monster. I'd love to know what brake pads they were using on that setup.

It looks good on them. Just take a massive dump on your primary customer base and still expect to have good sales? Fucking idiots running the camel show.

Ford said the Edsel was a great car too. Honda, pffff. :)

"Harden the fuck up!". See above. :)

Don't expect much from Raja. That's all.

Not necessarily to heat production but definitely to heat dissipation.

Software developers can make better programs today by simply making more of their programs multi-threaded. I can't stand programs that can only do one task at a time.

Core clocks aren't going up anytime soon so more cores it is. Software devs need to catch up to hardware.

For any fines to be meaningful now, any company should lose their gross profits from a few quarters and executives need to serve a few years in jail. It's the only way things will ever change.

OEM and driver support are words that should never be used in the same sentence, especially for AMD. I don't know what's stopping AMD from just releasing a mobile driver on their site that can be downloaded just like a desktop GPU driver. What's so special about mobile between OEMs that would...

They're not showing full police footage now to jurors (Philip Brailsford, cough, cough). Can you imagine a machine attempting to determine what it should keep or not keep as footage?

Like Elon Must is personally engineering and building the spacecrafts.

Bloody insane! I had Freedom but couldn't stand the coverage. Switched to Virgin when they had a new customer sale. Got a 2GB data paln, unlimited text and calling. Holy shit. I'd rather go without phones if I had to pay that much but I am cheap. :)
