I think hes not questioning it because china, but because nm between different fabs isnt comparible. E.g. finfet nm isnt the true nm used by older definitions of what nm means, which is why intel for instance, changed their naming on its fab process to match the rest of the industry. (E.g "Intel 7" is actually a well processed 10nm traditional definition chip that has that name because its conparible to TSMC 7nm)
Its why im all for automated trucking. Truck drivers is a dwindling source and living the lifestyle of a cross country truck driver isnt highly sought after job. The self driving should do the large trip from hub to hub, and each hub ahould do the last few miles. Keeps drivers local and fixes a problem that is only going to get worse.
They dont see a reason to their biggest buyers are in enterprise level and will pay for the extra support.
Common ML/AI stuff already work on AMD albeit not optimally (Tensorflow, Pytorch) and even some projects already work on AMD (e.g Stable Diffusion). Users are far better off creating a more generic branch for projects that would support CPU based acceleration (via both Intels and AMDs inclusion of AI acceleators in their products) then to hope Nvidia of all companies mess with their bottom line to give linux proper support.
Im hesitant to believe Framework is going to offer something which is in the Dragon Range family of cpus given they are using Phoenix. I wouldnt think theyll be jumping on it, at least this gen.
Maybe down the line if the community shows that they would purchase it, it might get some traction, but the market window is pretty small given you not only pay for the r9 tax, but the X3D tax ontop of it.
I have the peculiar taste of wanting 104+ key and metal build(on the heavier side), so my tastes were always pretty specific making it a limited choice market. I am currently using a ducky legend but I ordered a Keychron Q6 pro yesterday.
An 8 year run with a keyboard is still quite the run.
PS4 is 117M lifetime, PS3 is 87M lifetime, PS2 is 155M lifetime.
40M sits between the N64 lifetime and SNES lifetime sales. Keep in mind, as time progresses, the gaming market is bigger, so direct comparisons cant be done. Its only the 3rd year for the PS5, so it hasnt hit its half way point in its projected timeline.
Id argue on mobile for instance, firefox is easier to use. One of the LARGEST differences between chrome and firefox from a UI standpoint is bottom search/site box over top one, especially for larger phones.
This of course doesnt consider anything related to addons yet.
Personally I wouldnt decide by speed, rather by TB/W.
You want whatevee drive the OS is on to last longer. The random reads (what an OS wants) of nvme drives that arent intel optane ssds are more or less the same.
For people playing efficiently, probably. Everytime i play a bethesda game, i usually go out of my way to play some theme. Playes skyrim in stealth(after 2h axing most of it), oblivion with magic, melee in fo3, energy in fnv, luck maxed pistol/revolver only for fo4.
Ill probably look at the weapon list at launch and pick a weapon type from there
Some of the chromebooks offered to schools dont come from google. Some go to an actual leasing company who then gets chromebooks, mainly from lenovo due to them being the biggest leasing business in the game. Ive seen my fair share of terrible chrome books, but there are definately schools who lease what is basically the chromebook equivalent to a thinkpad
Souce: work in ewaste so i see what gets thrown out first hand.
Its shader compilation that made elden ring at launch a better experience on linux than windows, because the windows build had a broken shader compiler causing microstutters.
I personally find winter better because its far easier to warm yourself up than it is to cool yourself down imo.
