It’s fascinating how even with all of Intel’s struggles over the past ~5 years or so, it’s only now that AMD has been able to match their position in the server CPU market.

800G Ethernet

I am still on gigabit ethernet. Been meaning to connect the desktop to the 10G ethernet port on my router, but I haven’t got to it.

That’s actually pretty funny. :)

I am just saying how things are. I am not particularly obsessed about thickness and I have a phone which supports microSD (which is not that common these days).

Smartphones can’t fit a regular sized SD slot, so microSD is the default (if a smartphone devices even supports memory cards).

The first leak for Snapdragon X Elite was also 3,000+ on Geekbench 6 ST. Turns out it was custom build linux solution running a fake laptop with unrealistic cooling.

Nvidia is likely copy Qualcomm. They are all dishonest and corrupt.

Touche

3.5 inch floppy disks are not produced any more. Although it is my understanding that large organizations that depend on them have massive stockpiles.

BD-R, to maintain their retro credentials in coming decades.

Is there an SD version for a lower price?

Considering the price, it’s probably only aimed at Threadripper type scenarios or someone using an iGPU desktop system.

😅

That’s what I am referring to. Seems like they got into the market in 2012 or so.

I remember thinking it would be a bad idea to get one.

And that’s how they lost mobile to Arm, because before the iPhone, Intel wasn’t serious about mobile because of lower profit margins. Then when the mistake became obvious, they instead wasted billions trying to catch up quickly! And when that failed they gave up!

I am old enough to remember when there were x86 smartphones (very niche, they weren’t available where I lived around that time, but they were in the news). This is spot on.

So does this mean they are giving up on Arc dGPUs? There is no way they can maintain 50% gross margins for Arc.

Tree fiddy GB VRAM and another 0.5 GB HDD.

This is pretty typical for older memory though; it often has a U shaped price curve.

An 8GB DDR3 stick costs $20 new where I live.

AMD has cornered virtually every market.

That’s not true though. Intel still has a massive dominance in laptops, mostly due to their longstanding relationships and services for OEMs.

One of the big issues is ARM designing custom chips for customers, with the first one reported to be for Meta, the owner of Facebook. As eeNews Europe has highlighted, ARM acknowledges this could cause problems with existing customers who design their own chips. This is especially important as 56% of the company revenue comes from the top five largest customers.

This honestly sounds like a major risk for ARM and possibly an medium to long term upside for RISC-V. That being said we’ve been hearing about the “year of RISC-V” for a long time now.
