IMO, there is zero chance Arrow Lake will beat 7800x3d in gaming. And if you go with an AM5 motherboard, you have a decent, cheap, upgrade path. Cheers

Very popular in Aberdeen. cheers Gubbi

15-17% slower than a M3 in single threaded performance. Cheers

SkyNet v. 0.1 beta: https://www.theregister.com/2023/06/02/ai_drone_simulation/ Addendum: Classic general AI safety research misalignment problem, - and also an example of GAIs resisting tampering with its reward function. Cheers

President trophy's curse lives on Cheers

I think AI safety is trailing this AI arms race/competition; AI arguing, - and making shit up, with users is slightly unnerving. Cheers

The extra silicon on top of their compute dies, increases thermal resistance. To maintain the same T_junction they have to run at lower power, which means lower frequency. There is nothing AMD can do, it's physics. AMD opted for a massive increase in TDP this gen to compete with Intel, - and...

DOE did apply a "low confidence" to their lab leak support decision. FBI shares support for the lab leak theory with "moderate confidence". Four other agencies support the natural source theory. The timing is convenient with all the political realigment towards China after the recent pressure...

Space Ice is so Van Damme good Cheers

I know this is a bit late, but brilliant nevertheless: Cheers

The extra die on top of the CPU die in the X3D SKUs increases thermal resistance. The power hike this gen is really detrimental to the X3D SKUs because they *have* to be operated at lower power levels to keep T_junction the same. The benefit from massive caches might also be more modest given...

Arm v8 looks a lot more like mips as well, with 32 (31) registers, losing the implicit rotates, etc. At least they didn't copy the branch delay slot Cheers

Elon is playing 4D chess here, he has secretly invested in a plethora of alternative social media platforms just waiting to cash in. Just you wait, genius I'm telling you Cheers

The X3D versions will almost certainly be lower tdp just like the current X3D variants. Sandwiched dies impedes heat transfer, resulting in lower tdp. I would much prefer AMD mimicked Apple and went for maximum efficiency instead of following Intel into the space heater market. Glad Eco mode...
