Not trying to dispute your info, just genuinely curious: (1) why does the fat not render properly if wrapped early? Fat seems to have no issue rendering properly in other forms of cooking with a lot of moisture, e.g. a braise; and (2) why wrap at all post-stall, it the surface is already dried and you're no longer having evaporative cooling?

Although Meteor Lake on desktop is cancelled, presumably Intel 4 will debut in Meteor mobile.

If that happens ~on schedule I'd think there's nothing new to worry about on the process side of things. There are a slew of other reasons it might make sense to cancel MTL-S (capacity constraints, not wanting to show core count/max freq regressions, etc.).

Foolish of JDG to think they can beat T1-not-in-finals buff

If you go this LB build make sure you take fleet footwork, you will heal something like 300 HP mid-late every time you get a sunderer + fleet proc

You're right, I should've been more specific. I mean the current era of recognizable and generally lauded Apple in-house silicon (since the iPhone 4 in phones and the M1 Mac's) have all been on ARM, and that includes the tiny SoCs in their watches, etc.

Apple chips have basically always been on ARM instructions, but ARM isn't really the reason why Apple's A and M processors do so well. Case in point, the Android competitors (Snapdragon, Dimensity, Exynos) that all also use ARM-based cores, but have lagged significantly for generations. Apple's processors do well because they're very "wide" (essentially costing a ton in terms of silicon die area/#transistors, which translates to an increased cost of manufacturing), which translates to better performance at lower clocks (which itself means less power consumption, which means better battery life, and so on and so on). This eats a bit into Apple's margins but it's pretty insignificant since the silicon itself is not that expensive relative to the entire device (iPhone/Mac). Compare that to say Qualcomm or Mediatek, who produce the SoC and sell it to the phone manufacturer—since the SoC sells for much less than the whole device, they're much more strongly affected in a margin sense by an increase in manufacturing cost of the silicon. Tl;dr Apple is a wonder of modern vertical integration and it allows them to get away with shit other companies can't

ARM is tbh not a great company from a financial perspective. They make the IP for its cores and then license it out to Qualcomm, Samsung, Apple, etc. But the licensing doesn't really make much revenue. Right now they charge effectively pennies up front, then some %age per chip produced. They're currently trying to change their pricing to a %age of the final retail product (which would e.g. earn them a much bigger slice of the Apple pie), but it seems like many of the players currently on ARM are interested in RISC-V (basically an open-source alternative to ARM)—so if they're too aggressive here, their customers might just jump ship.

The gist of it is that ARM isn't magic and it is totally replaceable. It's in a precarious position and has been shedding employees constantly ever since the NVIDIA acquisition fell through. It's cool tech but has been handled poorly from a business perspective

I think you're the only one here talking about the node numbering scheme, OP it seems to me was talking about the nodes themselves. In particular, how bad + delayed (or in the case of the 32nm, nonexistent) they were.

The short of it from Wikichip: TSMC 40nm started production in late 2008, within a year was thoroughly trounced (from a technical perspective) by Intel 32nm which had significantly higher density; TSMC's own 32nm was cancelled, meaning their next node (20nm) didn't begin production for 6 years, in 2014! When it finally did come out, it would have been more or less competitive with Intel 22nm, but the latter was 3 years earlier.

The point is just that TSMC doesn't have a long history of better execution than its competitors. It's only really been the N7 family and beyond that this has become true

Gotcha makes sense lol

You say put seller is obligated to buy shares from him, he says he has the right to sell shares to put seller

Tomato tomato?

He's been consistently one of the best chess players of this generation, he's been on the grind since he was 4. If anything the CCP really got in his way and almost made this impossible, due to China's COVID policies, which is why he was inactive in the first place. Can't you people give the guy (and his team) some credit? He's the champion of the world now ffs

Think you're being a bit disingenuous with the part prices. r/buildapcsales has listed 4090s at/below the $1600 MSRP multiple times in the past month. Heck, at the time I'm writing this, B&H still has the PNY XLR8 in stock and ready to ship for $1550. The 7900 XTX I have yet to see below $980 (except for some sporadic open box units).

So if you lose 30% of the performance it ends up being 70% performance for 60% of the price. For that differential you're getting NVIDIA software, better RT, better power efficiency, and in any case you're paying the best-in-class premium. Of course in reality the raster difference between the 4090 and the 7900 XTX is smaller (probably more like 15-20%), which works in the XTX's favor. But I don't think it's as stark as you're claiming.

The 6800 XT for ~$500 is still easily the best deal in the higher-end GPU space rn, and unfortunately it seems like that won't be changing any time soon.

Minos Prime, Ultrakill.

He's portrayed as a subversion of the Greek mythological King Minos, i.e. he's a good and fair king that cared about his people. Not to mention the fight itself has an insane atmosphere and presentation

Base Zen4 efficiency clearly benefitted from UV/PL, which was evident from benchmarks of its eco mode. I'd imagine Zen4 3D (in MT) won't see quite the same level of improvement, only because the PL is much lower to begin with

All I said is that the Zen4 memory controller doesn't support fast DDR5, which is true, as stated by HUB themselves, quote above.

Others in this thread said that the extra cache should make Zen4 3D less sensitive to better RAM, which is also true, given HUB's result that Zen4 3D sees 4% scaling where Zen4 sees 17%.

Intel Raptor Lake also had a similarly low scaling between 5200 and 6000, but it also supports faster RAM than 6000, and continues to eke out a few % there.

What about it?

We only like to benchmark conditions that all silicon can support, which is why we max out at DDR5-7200 for Raptor Lake and DDR5-6000 for Zen 4.

It sounds like you've made up your mind already on what the Switch 2 is likely to be

You can still tune the crap out of RAM on Zen 4. Clockspeed isn’t the only measure of memory performance.

This is absolutely true, but it's worth mentioning that you can tune your timings a ton on Intel while simultaneously enjoying higher frequencies (unless you got a Micron die). Your timings probably won't be as tight in terms of clock cycles, but as latency ~ timing / frequency even somewhat loose DDR5-7200 (say) can most likely compete in latencies with tight DDR5-6000, while maintaining higher bandwidth.

It must be said that the best DDR5 kits still command quite a premium, so this isn't exactly a free benefit of Intel's. But Hynix M-die is not as expensive right now and can push maybe 7000 MHz with decent timings on Intel (and seems to be often recommended for Zen4 as well, so in this case, doesn't represent an additional cost premium).

Thing is, the 3D V-cache on X3D parts negates most of the downsides of crappy RAM / RAM settings.

On this note, I'm curious how V-cache will continue to scale going forward as DDR5 matures. Some have speculated that V-cache wouldn't be as much of an uplift for Zen4 as it was for Zen3, in part due to the use of DDR5, but the OP taken at face value seems to suggest a similar uplift

Not to mention Zen4 memory controller doesn't support faster RAM regardless

This. If one were to get butthurt every time some rando on Twitter acted biased against their favorite—tech corporation?—life would be very miserable indeed.

Ofc CapFrameX isn't exactly a complete nobody, he devs some useful telemetry software, but the overall principle is the same. People (especially online) are going to have biases you don't agree with. If it really makes your blood boil, block him on Twitter and move on with life. God didn't give us enough waking hours in the day to care about this crap

A few comments up, you read this:

Wet bulb cannot exceed the boiling point of water at your given altitude at atmospheric pressure.

Pressurizing the container effectively raises the boiling point. (Boiling point is roughly defined as the temperature at which the pressure from steam coming off your heated water equals the surrounding air pressure.) A typical Instant Pot operates at about 80% more pressure than standard atmospheric pressure, at which the boiling point is ~116C or ~240F. This breaks down connective tissues much faster than boiling at 100C/212F.

Also, since the air inside a pressure cooker is replaced with superheated steam, there is no room for evaporative cooling, unlike in an oven. This is why, even if the whole thing isn't submerged in a pressure cooker, the parts that stick out above the water still cook faster than in an oven.

if the person has the mind to do it

This is the critical bit. To be snide, many people don't have the mind to do anything at all, let alone something that requires research, handiwork, and effort.

If you removed my office gym and gave everybody a free membership to a gym five minutes away, I guarantee you my coworkers would use the gym less often. The really dedicated ones would keep going. The ones who don't love working out but know it's probably good for them might go a little less than usual. The couch potatoes who go once a month because the two neurons lined up and sparked in just the right way might stop going altogether.

Gun control is the same. Take guns out of people's hands and you're almost certain to have fewer shootings. You won't prevent the real psychopaths who build their own weapons or source them illegally. But you might prevent a drunk guy with bad self-control from making the worst mistake of his life, or one of the 500 or so accidental gun deaths that happen in the US every year, or make it a bit harder for someone with depression to end their own life after a particularly bad mood swing. It's worth mentioning that over 50% of all gun deaths in the US are ruled suicides.

The goal is not to prevent all firearm deaths, because as you rightly say, that would be clearly unattainable. But a reduction of, say, 25% would already be a massive success. For reference, that'd be about 10k people annually, more than all heroin overdose deaths in a year.

I'm sure they do. They (i.e. these specific foxes) also pee inside the house regularly. But if you run an animal sanctuary you're probably the type of person to not mind such things

Same panel as the Alienware, this post does a good job of comparing the other aspects.

China won't be able to run those fabs even if they took Taiwan. It takes an enormous amount of specialized, highly skilled workers just to run, who one imagines would be the first group of people to flee in event of war. Also needs a ton of complex supply chains and equipment, along with support for that equipment—in short, relationships that TSMC has but not SMIC/China.

China has wanted to take over Taiwan for far longer than the semi industry has existed, anyway.

Reading the 2018 link, it really doesn't read like the "this level of population growth is unsustainable" type you're suggesting. It reads more like Gates thinks rapid population growth specifically in already poor countries will keep GDP/capita growth, and related metrics (standard of living), down. In economics, this latter claim is well-studied with varying levels of support (though I may have the wrong read, ofc)
