I think they are thinking more of the Nvidia vGPU and Intel gvt-g. One GPU accelerating multiple VMs (and possibly accelerating the host itself). No need to run multiple GPUs on one machine. I'd guess AMD has/had something similar. Of course, Nvidia vGPU is limited to very expensive GPUs (+...

Lets track down TT's credited source: NVIDIA Taps In TSMC For Next-Generation 7nm Ampere GPUs (wccftech.com) then WCCTech claims it from: NVIDIA next generation 7nm process products, Huang Renxun: TSMC will still obtain most of the orders | TechNews Tech News No primary sources; no video of...

You linked a tech talk slide, so you had to have read it. Using an API =/= source code for whatever is behind that API. Exactly. Should have been obvious that DLSS implementation in a game engine (the topic of the post I quoted from Dampf) was the issue at fault here. IMO, Nvidia has to get...

And DLSS for Q2RTX is...? Remember, first party game.

First party product: Quake 2 RTX. What was the excuse? Lightyear of difference between "source available" (not open source or Open Source) after registration, and something being openly available as a plugin on a market.

If the CDPR leak is true, it's not as if Nvidia has a choice anymore. Well, not one that would be well received, anyways.

Switch launched in March.

Well, sort of. The original tech that was leveraged into that, was designed for slower refreshes, mostly for static images over eDP (e.g, ~1Hz or less). It would power down the PHYs (saving power) while spinning up a buffer and some logic (consuming power) to "replay" the last received buffer to...

They lost their uarch team with Centriq's death, afaik. However, unless if they want their 5G/future infrastructure chips/IP to be forever dependent on Intel, Marvell, etc, they still need a reasonably high performance CPU with a focus on throughput. Same with managed switches to a lessor...

I agree with your observations about the Switch 2/U needing to be compared to the market. I definitely agree about not burning the phone battery. I disagree about what defines the market for those intending to buy a Switch or something like it. I've done train and bus for years throughout...

Your analogy does not equate. Here is one that works: It's the difference between a shopkeeper just taking their store inventory for personal use, vs using their salary/pay to purchase goods at their own store. One is legal, one is not. I have both experience and audits from California (also...

Also, the 8800 GTX technically launched before the PS3, so we have to count its 345.6 GFLOPS, if we don't want to rewrite history.

How do you know that Apple's music division doesn't have to pay to 30% to Apple's store/services? In every company I've worked at, from Govt org to private, divisions do pay each other for a number of services and fees. We didn't get our laptops, equipment, or even our overhead for free. It is...

I still agree with your assessment of Nintendo's recent hardware choices. I suspect Orin silicon is already out there. The 2022 target is likely due to safety certifications for the realtime, deterministic portions of the SoC, along with degradation testing and validation (mostly automotive...

While I agree with most of the analysis above, I don't really think it's worthwhile to port Carmel any further. Denver missed its second product in favor of off-the-shelf arm Cortex-A IP (Tegra X1), since Nvidia didn't want to port Denver from 28nm to 20nm. Carmel has already been usurped and...
